Why most Americans are broke
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I just checked out of the Ritz-Carlton here in Kuala Lumpur. For the money, it is the best luxury hotel on the planet, in my opinion. In addition to pool attendants who sneak up on you to offer fresh melon skewers, your American Express Platinum card (or just asking nicely, in […]
The world’s highest savings rates vs. the bankrupt west
Dateline: Hong Kong As soon as I got off the plane, it hit me. No, it wasn’t the incredible humidity here, even though Hong Kong makes Manila look like the Sahara desert with 32 degree (86 degrees Fahrenheit) temperatures and 85% humidity. I flew in from the Philippines yesterday – just as the latest tropical storm […]
Now France wants an end of the US dollar
Dateline: Makati, Philippines Paul Krugman may be wrong on just about everything, but when he says “Fiat money is backed by men with guns”, we can find a point on which to agree. His point here is a perfect metaphor for the state of world currencies. In the latest development of dying fiat currency wars, […]
Is the time of maximum pessimism the best time to buy?
Is the time of maximum pessimism the best time to buy? Investors around the world have made fortunes buying when “blood is in the streets” in places like Cambodia. Dateline: An undisclosed location in the USSA Remember this Time magazine cover from June 2005? Do you remember what happened shortly after that? The housing crash, […]
Will Obama declare martial law in America?
Dateline: An undisclosed location in the USSA Historically, martial law has been implemented by governments on a temporary basis, in periods of war or civil unrest, or chaos. Rights are suspended and the military can essentially turn the region into a gigantic prison. In the Land of the Free, martial law has only been implemented […]
Lessons from the biggest economic collapses in history
Dateline: An undisclosed location in the USSA What can history tell us about the future of America? The world has been splattered with all sorts of economic collapses, in every industry, at big and small scales.

More proof there is no US housing market recovery
Dateline: Toronto, Canada Ever since Canada shut down its Immigrant Investor Program several months ago, I’ve been predicting a dip in Canadian real estate prices. Especially where I’ll be in Vancouver this weekend. You can’t shun capital and expect to grow your economy. However, the situation is even more dire south of the border in The […]
Shocking facts about entrepreneurship in Bosnia
Updated August 2016 Dateline: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina Nervous smiles and laughter. That was the response to my impromptu visit with a banker here in Bosnia’s capital of Sarajevo today. Let it be said that these were not smiles of happiness over Bosnia’s strong performance in the World Cup this year. All around the city, […]
Protect Your Business Privacy with an Anonymous LLC
Dateline: Budva, Montenegro Not owning a car, I have almost forgotten just how much fun the occasional road trip can be. Yesterday afternoon, I hired a driver in Albania – who didn’t speak any English – to bring me here to one of the hottest summer party stops in Europe. This time of year, Montenegro […]
Is “Going Galt” immoral? Earning less to pay less tax
Dateline: Tirana, Albania “Going Galt” is the idea of basing one’s life on the philosophy of John Galt, the fictional character from Ayn Rand’s classic, “Atlas Shrugged”. In the book, Galt is forced to either join a union, or quit his job. Galt not only quits, but then forms an underground movement to inspire the […]
How to lose all your money in government bonds
Dateline: Prizren, Kosovo When asked the secret to becoming a millionaire, Virgin founder Richard Branson once quipped, “start as a billionaire and buy an airline”. Buying government bonds in 2014 is a great way to do exactly the equivalent, making your money vanish into the greedy paws of your favorite congressman. Here in Kosovo, corruption […]
The cost of patriotism: examples of nationalism in Europe
Dateline: Skopje, Macedonia Skopje’s city center is half Caesar’s Palace, half Turkish bazaar. The country, which declared independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991, has been undergoing an ambitious campaign called “Skopje 2014”, in which giant monuments have been erected all throughout the cobblestone streets of the city center. These monuments, which include statues, fountains, […]
Should you avoid these four international investing mistakes?
Dateline: Skopje, Macedonia Economic growth here in Macedonia has floundered since the global recession as the country grapples with the issues surrounding it in Europe. Heck, Greece is just a stone’s throw away. However, looking to Europe is not exactly the best advice for international investing. While this part of the world holds the promise […]
Countries With No Property Tax: Where To Own Real Estate Tax-Free

Lessons from Hungary on the coming economic collapse
Dateline: Budapest, Hungary Having been all over western and central Europe – save Slovenia and the microstate of San Marino – I’m convinced after just one day that Budapest is easily the most beautiful city in Europe.

Is Citizenship by Investment in Austria Actually Possible?
These days, more and more sovereign countries are offering citizenship by investment programs to those seeking a second passport. The process is simple: for example, you can invest a six-figure sum in one of a number of Caribbean nations, and you can become a bona fide citizen there in anywhere from three to twelve months. The long-running St. […]
Cheap Investments in Europe outside of The Eurozone
When you compare two famous European cities, Bratislava and nearby Vienna, in many ways, the two cities, the world’s closest two national capitals, are worlds apart. Bratislava has been the butt of jokes for years, while Vienna is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. However, while we put Bratislava in the […]
Political dynasties: evidence of the freedom you don’t have
Dateline: Prague, Czech Republic As with most of Europe, the modern-day Czech Republic is no stranger to its share of historic political dynasties. After the establishment of the Great Moravian Empire in the ninth century, the Premyslid dynasty took over politics in the modern day Czech Republic, where Prince Borivoj, moved the seat of government […]

10 Countries with the Safest Offshore Banks
If you’re new to the world of offshore banking, you may understandably be concerned about bank safety.

The five worst cases of hyperinflation in world history
We’ve talked about the little-discussed early American hyperinflation (and the current threats of dollar collapse). We’ve talked about Argentina’s maddening capital controls and their effect on sky-high inflation rates. Neither of those countries, however, can hold a candle to some of the worst cases of hyperinflation in modern history. You’ve seen photos of Germans sweeping worthless […]
British offshore bank account holders threatened with jail
Dateline: Wroclaw, Poland For years, Americans have had all the fun. The US government has been the most aggressive, bar none, in going after tax evaders who put money in offshore bank accounts. And in the process, they’ve created laws like FATCA to make it harder to citizens to bank offshore legally. They’re even responsible […]
The Best Offshore Web Hosts and VPS for Privacy and Anonymity
Dateline: Lodz, Poland If you maintain an online presence or run an online business, you should be using Flag Theory to make sure you are well diversified.

Stores closing: the new “economic recovery” in the United States…
Dateline: Warsaw, Poland How do you know the economy is bad? When you can’t use hardbodies to sell sex to coeds. More on that in a moment… The mainstream media loves oh-so-much to talk about the American “economic recovery” underway in the United States.

Do Anonymous and Numbered Offshore Bank Accounts Exist?
Last Updated July 25, 2020 Dateline: Helsinki, Finland Who would have thought that bankrupt governments would get so many benefits out of drug dealing, terrorism, and money laundering?

Is Economic Freedom in Estonia Greater Than in the United States?
Estonia may not be the first country you think about in terms of free market economies, yet the country has a lot to offer entrepreneurs. Best of all, it’s still on the rise. Sitting on board the two-and-a-half-hour ferry ride from the least Eastern European-feeling Baltic state to Finland, you realise just how connected the […]
Are expats who live overseas required to sign up for Obamacare?
Dateline: Tartu, Estonia As a perpetual traveler, medical insurance can be a touchy subject. Sure, it’s easy to obtain health insurance as an expat, or even someone with no permanent address as is my case. If you still maintain citizenship in your home country, it’s relatively easy to get a “permanent address” there and sign […]
Canada shuts Immigrant Investor Program, bails on real estate owners
Dateline: Sigulda, Latvia If you’re a property owner or real estate agent in Vancouver or Toronto, you just got screwed. We discussed earlier this week why I prefer investing in emerging market real estate. Even though emerging markets may seem to offer less security, the reality is that a country with Big Government is the […]
Getting Second Residency in Latvia | Real Estate or Business
Dateline: Riga, Latvia As they say: you snooze, you lose. Truer words cannot be spoken when it comes to international diversification and the topics we discuss here. One of those topics, for example, is the importance of getting a second residency and working toward a second citizenship. Here in the Baltic states, Latvia has been […]
Investing in Lithuania real estate: a Euro appreciation play?
Dateline: Klaipeda, Lithuania Earlier this year, Latvia — Lithuania’s Baltic state neighbor to the north — gave up the Latvian lat and adopted the common Euro currency. Normally, I’m not a big fan of unions or government alliances. I want governments to be as small and splintered as possible — forced to compete with each […]
The 5 Best Countries to be Born in for 2014
Our sense of nationalism makes us think that, wherever it was we were born, that place is “the best”. Of course, statistically, only one place can be the best. We can let our emotions color our judgment of a place, even if we’ve never been anywhere else. It is this blind allegiance to one country […]
How to open an offshore bank account with only $500
Dateline: Vilnius, Lithuania I have to admit, living smack in the middle of Old Town Vilnius has put me in an excellent mood during my stay here. Looking out the window and seeing the charming capital city, with its cobblestones, endless pedestrians, and excellent restaurants just next door is quite the way to live. However, […]

How to Get Lithuanian Citizenship by Descent
Last updated: June 6, 2022 Dateline: Vilnius, Lithuania Lithuania offers a citizenship by descent program that is just as liberal, if not more so, than the more commonly discussed European second passport programs.

“I don’t know which is better: the EU or the Soviet Union”
Dateline: Vilnius, Lithuania “I don’t know which is better: the European Union, or the Soviet Union.” So said a friend of mine here in Vilnius the other day as we discussed the latest goings-on in Ukraine and the Lithuanian fear of Vladimir Putin. As much as my friend is rattled by Russia’s long-awaited invasion of […]
Tulum: the next big real estate investment in Mexico
Dateline: Merida, Mexico The flight from Mexico City was about as good as one can get. Interjet is one of the newer airlines in Mexico challenging the Aeromexico monopoly, and the service really shows. Despite being in the air for barely an hour, we were treated to an array of free snacks, soft drinks, and […]
American fiat currency made them patriotic… and broke
Dateline: San Diego, California Near the height of the Roman Empire, consul Lucius Cassius was considered one of the most honest and wise judges in the land. He had a trademark question that is still referenced to this day: “Cui bono?”; literally translated “as a benefit to whom?” Cui bono is a Latin adage used […]
American fascism and the death of the West
Dateline: Dana Point, California This isn’t a destination where you’ll see me regularly. In fact, it takes a lot these days to get me to show up in The Land of the Free. A suite at the St. Regis in Orange County (which is excellent, by the way) and seeing a close friend was my […]
A word of caution on Panama banks and offshore accounts
Dateline: Managua, Nicaragua In the movie Blow, Johnny Depp plays Pablo Escobar’s largest cocaine trafficker during the boom era of the 1980s. At one point, Depp’s character is responsible for 85% of all cocaine brought into the United States. Interestingly, he puts all of his newfound riches into a Panama bank. This was back in […]
Eighty-five richest people as wealthy as poorest half… who cares?
Dateline: León, Nicaragua Granada is a bustling university town with a charming town square and an ongoing rush of tourists. After Nicaraguan independence, the university elites of Granada and the lesser-preserved León fought over which city should be the newly sovereign nation’s capital. León, dominated by the liberal elites, almost became the capital; but the […]
How to buy and invest in Nicaragua real estate
Dateline: Managua, Nicaragua I just got what could be one of the most insulting emails of my life. Like you, I spent years trapped in the notion that I should keep everything I owned under one “roof”, so to speak. That meant that all of my savings, my assets, my businesses, and everything I owned […]
The Safest Place to Live in Central America
Dateline: Managua, Nicaragua Driving to O’Hare Airport in Chicago yesterday was a disaster. Winter weather in much of the United States is just a fact of life. Month after month, year after year, it becomes harder to get to school, to work, or just around town. While you can’t blame Chicago for the horrible weather, […]
What Peter Schiff told me about American inflation
Dateline: Chicago, United States Last summer, I shared a somewhat tongue-in-cheek perspective on how grocery stores in Vietnam are stealing from the populace thanks to the worthless Vietnamese dong. The Vietnam government has done such a poor job of managing their currency – or managing it at all – that there is no way stores […]
Why offshore banking in Latvia is the new hotspot
Dateline: Chicago, United States I’m spending a few days with business associates here in Chicago after wrapping up our Passport to Freedom event in Las Vegas.

The curse of economic isolation: how governments forget history
Dateline: San Francisco, California, United States Economic isolation is the kiss of death for an economy. Sometimes, it happens slowly. Other times, it happens all at once.

Jeju Island: Where Anyone Can Get a Residence Visa
It’s barely a one-hour flight from Seoul’s Incheon airport to the capital city of the self-governing Jeju Island off the southern coast of the Korean peninsula.
