Cyprus Bank Account Holders Are Now Waiting… Thanks, EU
Have you ever noticed while on board a flight that delays in pushing back from the gate or reaching the runway are always fifteen minutes? I’m convinced that fifteen to twenty minutes is the focused-grouped timeline for keeping people in line. That’s just what’s happening in Cyprus, which Tuesday rejected the Eurozone’s plan to confiscate […]
Chavez’s failed state and the westerners who love him
History always repeats itself, yet bankrupt and corrupt governments are often too happy to ignore it in exchange for short-term gain to keep the party going and their image intact. Venezuela is reeling after the death of Hugo Chavez, and before he could complete his socialist “Bolivarian Revolution”. The risk of unrest is felt through […]
Top 5: Developed countries with Budget Deficits: Read Now
We recently shared five countries running budget surpluses. While a new list of sovereign players are emerging with their fiscal house in order, there is still the list of those who continue to deficit spend their way into the poorhouse. And as we know, you as their citizen are the one who will pay the […]
Why frontier and emerging market tourism is on the rise
It doesn’t get any more mainstream than the New York Times. American conservatives of all stripes bash it as the standard bearer of Old Guard liberalism. Yet a recent interactive feature in the paper showcased a number of emerging markets tourism destinations as travel “must sees”. Many Americans are unaware of the New Golden Age […]
Quantitative easing: Hello, Age of Easy Money
If you think the Age of Easy Money is here, you haven’t seen anything yet. Investor extraordinaire Jim Rogers recently decried the growing recklessness of nearly every central bank devaluing its currency. His main concern was reserved for savers, who he said history has shown will be wiped out by the endless money supply. Throughout […]
Try Not to Laugh at Michael Bloomberg’s Latest Nanny State
I’ll bet you didn’t peg New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a comedian. That is, unless you find the nanny state slash schoolmarm act amusing. Yet you just might fall out of your chair watching Bloomberg’s pouty remarks as his ban on the sale of large sugary drinks was shot down in court yesterday. Due […]
How US unemployment is killing the country in two ways
The Obama administration is in an unenviable position. For one thing, they’ve been crowing that the sequester would cost nearly one million jobs along with causing water to become poisoned and leopards to lose their spots. Yet they ostensibly want to allow their government-censored unemployment numbers, the ones that only tell half the story, to […]
Hugo Chavez’s Legacy: This is what The Enemy Looks Like
“It stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there’s someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master.” -Ayn Rand Hugo Chavez is dead. I purposely wanted to wait a day or two to […]
Why a Cyprus Bank Confiscation May Be Coming | Read More
On the eastern mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, bad loans to Greece have left the place in desperate need of a bail-out. The debt-to-GDP ratio is hovering at 85% while deficit-to-GDP is well into the 6% range. That’s just part of why there’s been plenty of talk that a Cyprus bank confiscation is coming, ever […]
The government that cried wolf on sovereign debt
Aristotle was to have said that people lie so “that when they speak truth they are not believed”. American politicians and the White House are going around proclaiming that soon, planes will fall from the sky, Dark Ages diseases will return to plague us again, and roads will crumble as the scourge of “sequestration” comes […]
The five most developed countries with budget surpluses
While western “free markets” and dictatorships alike are running yearly budget deficits, there are still solid countries that aren’t spending beyond their means. A budget surplus… Imagine that, right? Our readers understand that countries with their fiscal house in order provide better prospects for banking, doing business, and relocation. Here are several developed countries with […]
Why western countries should let Chinese tourists visit visa-free
Old habits die hard. So do stereotypes of other countries and their wealth. That includes antiquated visa policies that are closing doors in western markets around the world. While the UK appears to be entering its third recession in four years, business leaders there are warning that their country is missing out on the spending […]
Your money has no Fifth Amendment protections in the US
When they think you owe them money, the government isn’t as much about freedom as you’d like to think. Savvy Nomad Capitalists know that “the land of the free” has become little more than a propaganda tool to convince Americans to stay put, because it couldn’t be any better anywhere else. In large part, it’s […]
Why not to invest in Spain (when a country disrespects capital)
There’s something reassuring about the honesty of capital. When a country loses all respect for that system, bad things are bound to happen. Take Spain, for example. It’s nothing but bad news there. There’s no way you should invest in Spain. As if 26% unemployment wasn’t enough, it’s expected to increase this year. Youth unemployment […]
How population trends will shape emerging and frontier markets
For me, the vastly changing world economy is so obvious. That’s why we focus on global megatrends that explain just how the future will play out. This century will see a powerful shift in economic power as well as a greater balance of power for one key reason: population trends. One look at a world […]
How Iran is Using Bitcoin to Fight Hyperinflation
Technology always wins the race against less agile governments. Such is the case in Iran, where peer-to-peer crypto e-currency Bitcoin is enabling locals to conduct world commerce unlike ever before. Inflation is raging in this west Asian country of 75 million. As the United States and its allies work to devalue the country’s rial currency […]
How Do You Become Rich in Countries Like Singapore?
Let’s discuss how to become rich in your business – and why it’s increasingly difficult in the bankrupt west. The European Union is set to impose the most stringent pay limitations on banking sector employees since the financial meltdown in 2008. The City of London is fighting back and scrambling to gain some leverage to […]
How Big Government robbed Turks and Caicos
There’s a mutiny in the Parliament of Turks and Caicos, the Caribbean island chain which owes allegiance to the UK as a British Overseas Territory. Specifically, the United Kingdom, acting as interim government in the island chain since seizing control of its governance in 2009, is “forcing through” a value added tax despite protests by […]
The Five Most Underestimated Economies
To those in the west, the world’s emerging and newly developed economies are often incorrectly seen as “third world”, “corrupt” or “backward”. Many people just don’t understand how deep the transformation is in these countries and how stable and advanced they now are. However, Nomad Capitalists know that opportunity comes in all shapes and sizes […]
China’s beauty market offers clues to aspiring global entrepreneurs
A recent Wall Street Journal article explains how beauty retailers like Sephora are scrambling to maintain sales growth and even closing stores in China in the wake of new online competition. In my mind, this is an excellent opportunity for aspiring global entrepreneurs. With just a little digging, you can see how it’s the latest […]
Obama should learn a lesson from Singapore on income inequality
Who could have predicted that last night’s State of the Union address by President Obama would be a rallying cry for more of the same populist dogma that seems to plague the west these days? Hopefully, anybody. Among the American president’s proposals are increasing the federal minimum wage 24% to $9 an hour, and to […]
When governments compete, you win
Part of what’s so frustrating about doing business in much of the west is that you feel like the government doesn’t care about you. Sure, I doubt running a hot dog cart in Sudan is much fun, but the big western governments really take the cake for using and abusing the productive class. And unlike […]
Citizenship-based taxation: Just the US and a war-torn country
Reporting from: Los Angeles, California I love economic competitiveness among governments. That’s why I had always wanted to speak with someone from the only place on earth that shared the stage with my birth country for keeping a tight economic grip on its citizens wherever they went in the world. My cab driver last night […]
How to profit from frontier and emerging market consumers
Reporting from: San Diego, California If you’ve ever spent time selling your own product or service, you’ve inevitably run into hurdles with people who don’t value what you’re selling. Perhaps you’ve even wanted to throw your hands up in the air and curse your non-buyers, blaming them for your failures. It’s frustrating. While entrepreneurship always […]
Big brother will not protect your retirement funds
History is a great teacher. And if there is one thing you should have learned, desperate, bankrupt governments will always look for an easy and political palatable way out. One way they’ve done this is by raiding private pension funds, looting money you purportedly don’t “need” now and promising, like an addict, to pay it […]
The wait for capital controls is over
The day you always knew coming has now arrived. Capital controls are here. If you’re a reader of this site, chances are you knew that. Western governments and the U.S. in particular have been chipping away at your financial freedom for some time. It took on new meaning when “terrorism” entered the lexicon in a […]
Your government is telling you to become a perpetual traveler
If you didn’t have a reason to become a perpetual traveler, you should have one now. It shouldn’t shock anyone reading that sovereign debt is a huge problem for governments around the world. This month alone, the guy who oversees Franklin Templeton’s bond markets advised investors to get out of “safe” sovereign debt. Japan is […]
How to find a real free market as an entrepreneur
We’ve talked about this concept before: some places get it, others don’t. You should go to the places that “get it”. That includes entrepreneurs trying to run a business in the real free market. Expert investor Jim Rogers has repeatedly said that the smart money moved to London in the 19th century and New York […]
Why you should consider becoming a farmer in South America
I recently had dinner with several savvy investors. At the end of the meal, each gave one word that they felt best represented the global economic trends in the next twenty-five years. The consensus was clear: Agriculture. This probably isn’t a shock to you. The world’s developing economies will consume more and better foods, eat […]
How Your Bank Account Could Be Stolen with One Keystroke
It was an ordinary day several years ago when I logged into one of my business bank accounts. I was expecting a transfer and knew exactly how much the balance should be. While my transfer had indeed arrived, I was shocked to see over $1,300 missing for no reason. Was it a bank error? Was […]
Where to plant your citizenship flag
Where should you plant your citizenship flag? This past weekend on my radio show, I spoke with passport guru Mark Nestmann about who is calling him for a second passport and where they are moving. If you didn’t hear it, you should definitely listen here. Mark helps people get passports largely through so-called “citizenship by investment” programs […]
The myth of “American exceptionalism” in five short minutes
At the opening of of HBO’s series Newsroom, a wide-eyed sorority girl asks a panel of speakers (click to watch; NSFW) to explain why America is the greatest country in the world. “Diversity”, one replies. “Freedom”, says another. Then Jeff Daniels’ character erupts into what was called by one “the most honest three and a half minutes […]
What kind of Nomad are you?
A few weeks ago, I was doing some out-of-town holiday shopping and ended up striking up a conversation with one of the staff members at the store. It turns out he was Ukrainian and had lived in the U.S. for five years. He said he liked where he was living, and that there was much […]
How 100 years connects Argentina and Mongolia
Yesterday, I wrote about how Argentina has fallen from one of the world’s richest nations just 100 years ago, to a spending much of the last eight decades in decay. Once the world’s tenth richest nation, it has fallen quite a long way. Set aside this so-called Argentina Paradox, however, and the list of wealthiest […]
The Argentina paradox and modern asset confiscation
If you pay any attention to the news, you’ve no doubt be reading a lot about Argentina and the Falkland Islands debacle. Whatever you think about the Falkland Islands debacle, I doubt any freedom-loving capitalist would have many good things to say about Argentina’s President, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. From capital controls to nationalization to confiscation […]
Some people just don’t get it…
With a new year comes new resolutions. I’ve endeavored to spend more time visiting developing countries, finding opportunities in frontier lands, and exposing myself to more and more people in the global economic community. I’m also hoping that some of my fellow Americans resolve to get out a bit more. Several days ago, several media […]
How to earn the $10 Trillion Prize by investing overseas
I’m writing from Las Vegas where I’m wrapping up a brief stay. Remember the $3.99 shrimp and prime rib buffets that used to dot the city here? They’re long gone as they’ve embarked on a campaign to destroy every low-priced hotel left on the Strip and ushered in new super-luxury hotels where $3.99 won’t buy you a […]
The real lesson behind the USA’s offshore tax crackdown
I’ve recently been talking with some of the top experts on FATCA, the USA’s far-reaching new law that effectively makes every foreign financial institution an unpaid tax collector for the American government. In fact, I’ll be interviewing one on my radio show early next year. You’ve no doubt heard stories of banks around the world […]
Mileage runs: how an airport layover can open your mind for business
Dateline: Houston, United States I’m at the Houston airport’s United Club now, spending a three-hour layover on a mileage run that will take me in every direction across the U.S. over the course of fourteen hours today. I’ve always felt strangely at home at airports; they’re a great place to let your imagination run wild. […]
The Fiscal Cliff and Why Innovation in The US is Dying
As the debate over the United States’ fiscal cliff continues with seemingly little progress, we can’t help but take a different (albeit predictable) view on the whole fiscal cliff thing and how the media is portraying it. But before we get into more details on how we view the fiscal cliff, let’s talk about what […]
Sodastream: how governments shut down businesses for no reason
If you’re a business owner, you realize that getting your message out and ultimately, selling, is the most important thing you can do. That’s why the British broadcasting industry’s decision to censor a SodaStream TV ad is especially troubling. It’s no secret that the UK has had lofty rules regarding for some time. Clearcast, an NGO […]
