It’s not easy to find an effective offshore forex broker as a United States citizen – in fact, it’s one of the (numerous) drawbacks of US citizenship. Many Americans who want to trade forex offshore quickly realise that the list of brokers willing to accept them is shrinking, thanks to various regulations imposed by the US […]
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I learned an interesting business lesson over the weekend. To celebrate my thirtieth birthday, I took a few of our Nomad Capitalist team members to the Hard Rock Hotel in Penang here in Malaysia. Penang is the only non-Muslim majority state in Malaysia and is popular tourist destination for those seeking […]
Dateline: Singapore Singapore’s open policy to immigrants has made it one of the wealthiest countries and freest economies in the world. Millions have flocked to this island wealth haven, filling much of its less than 250 square miles of land area with banks, legal offices, and even gold vaults. That growth has led to a […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Dateline: Taipei, Taiwan I’m a fan of gold and other ways of protecting my hard-earned capital from the “easing” policies of the Fed and others. In fact, several hours of our upcoming Passport to Freedom event in Las Vegas are about how to store gold offshore, the best types of gold to own, and how […]
Dateline: Manila, Philippines As central banks continue to push the “Copy” button on their printers, and the world population continues to grow, we’ve become a bigger fan of agricultural land. Experts from Jim Rogers on down have endorsed agricultural land as a way to benefit from the increasingly affluent consumer cultures in regions such as […]
Dateline: Manila, Philippines It’s been eight months since I was last here in the Makati central business district of Manila. It’s amazing how much has changed since then. Several expats have argued that Manila shouldn’t have ranked fourth on my list of most livable cities in Southeast Asia. However, those expats are looking at the […]
Last updated October 15, 2020 Buying gold bullion is a good way to diversify your assets out of fiat currencies. However, your home country’s world view may be putting your gold investments at risk. American gold buyers, in particular, may be taking an overly regional approach to buying gold bullion that could prove detrimental. So, […]
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In fact, I like it so much that I dubbed it the third most livable city in booming Southeast Asia — and the most livable city when you exclude the highly pricey Hong Kong and Singapore. While many think the […]
Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Jim Rickards recently said that with the central bankers’ madness infecting the Australian dollar, there were only three strong, stable currencies left. (Of course, the US dollar isn’t one of them) However, I’ve long talked about earning high interest rates by depositing money into foreign currency accounts with emerging market banks. […]
Reporting from: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia A few months ago, I met with several expat entrepreneurs in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Among all of the business talk, they threw out one local investment idea: sign a long-term lease on a Western-friendly apartment. The reason was that rents on expat-friendly apartments in Vietnam has been going […]
Reporting from: Nong Khai, Thailand – en route to Myanmar I have to admit, I screwed up yesterday. In my rush to get out my last meeting in Vientiane, Laos, and to the airport in time for my flights, I forgot about the Lao currency I was carrying in my wallet. The currency of Laos, […]
Reporting from: Bangkok, Thailand Property is all the rage here in Bangkok. In the last fifteen years or so, the country has seen a major recession, the bird flu and a coup. And, after each, property prices haven risen. I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of real estate investing here. The industry […]
Reporting from: Bangkok, Thailand After my excellent, Obamacare-sidestepping experience at the hospital yesterday, I had to go back today for a few additional, more in-depth tests. To be honest, I think the doctor – who seemed pretty confident about my clean bill of health – sensed my hypochondria and wanted to put my mind at […]
Reporting from: Bangkok, Thailand Sukhumvit is one of the busiest areas of Bangkok. Full of tourists, overpriced bars, and international chains from Domino’s to 7-Eleven at every turn, it’s part of what makes Bangkok such an international city. Walking around here can feel at times like Hong Kong or any other large metropolis with a […]
Reporting from: Phnom Penh, Cambodia The twenty-minute tuk-tuk ride to Phnom Penh’s north end was littered with new restaurants. Every time I’d tilt my head to look somewhere new, an “opening soon” sign – fully in English – grabbed my attention. As is the case in much of Southeast Asia, but especially here, flashy new […]
Reporting from: Phnom Penh, Cambodia I got to talking with one of my waiters the other day, and discussed what life is like here. Service staff can make as little as $80 a month, and most who speak English earn $100-150 a month. With that, they can live a halfway decent life here in the […]
Reporting from: Phnom Penh, Cambodia It rained yesterday. In most parts of the world, that might not be much of a statement. After all, 242 trillion gallons of rain are dropped on the planet in any given day, most of it here in the tropics. I can’t say I was too upset about the rain. […]
Reporting from: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Like most entrepreneurs, I still remember exiting my first business. I got what was, at the time, a lot of money for me. While I realized the amount wasn’t life-changing nor was I going to retire to a villa at the Four Seasons, I felt good about it. […]
Reporting from: Ha Long Bay, Vietnam The views in Halong Bay are gorgeous. Think Norwegian fjords meet tropical jungle and warm waters. So you must forgive me for the lateness and brevity of this post; there are so many gorgeous views to see and swimming, kayaking, and partying to do that it would be a […]
Reporting from: Phoenix, Arizona Sometimes it’s easy to understand why we keep making the same mistakes over and over again. And why there is another US real estate bubble coming. I like to use history to show examples of how governments have done the same economically disastrous things before, and how it turned out poorly. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
