I love the Hong Kong market, wild and west of you, a money rock, and tax free as well, for dividend and cap gains, and a few steps ahead of Singapore heritage.org at the cost of some dirty air, but not if you just invest here and live elsewhere, say Koh Samui, 2.5 hrs by direct flight :0) That's what I need to learn how to do - live in some low tax/ tax free place but not actually live there :) For example, how can I live in New Hampshire but actually live here in New York?

Hey Jay: this is just one lucky example of what free information on SI can fortunately do) Your posts may be the exception to the rule. OTOH, I don't know how many of us who don't live in Money Rock HK and who don't have your contacts are going to invest in a new company, penny stock, beauty business there. I wonder did anyone from the board? It is like me posting that I get 12% or better returns safely on Mortgages here in Florida, when everyone is talking about 5% T-bills or CD's and how risky RE investing is. To my knowledge no one has joined me to reap the 7% extra interest income. I wonder did anyone from the board? Yes, 12%+ per annum returns on my info (too lazy to look up the reference posts) plus the great capital gains from your Gold recommendations not to mention Energyplay and some of the others and the lucky SI members could be fat and happy. However, for every post such as those, there were probably thousands one had to wade through first. And how do you know which is good investment advice and which is not. So free yes but unevaluated and unsorted. What would it be worth for someone to have gleaned just the gems from the rest? Had you shorted the Home builders and lenders every time someone posted the idea you'd be broke by now. Had you sold all your (US) R.E. in June 2001 and stayed out of R.E. till now you'd have missed on of the best appreciation periods for that asset class in 40 years. And I won't even mention shorting Google ('oops I just did) when it was suggested here:} I love the Hong Kong market, wild and west of you, a money rock, and tax free as well, for dividend and cap gains, I love it when you talk dirty!!! and a few steps ahead of Singapore heritage.org at the cost of some dirty air, but not if you just invest here and live elsewhere, say Koh Samui, 2.5 hrs by direct flight :0) Yes, but then we have to learn Thai and Chinese and you know how lazy we Westerners are. Besides we are so conditioned to those simplified tax forms every April 15th and the weeks and months that go into collecting all the receipts and pieces of paper what would we do with all that free time? Ah learn Chinese and Thai? regards Ray

and tax free as well, for dividend and cap gains, I read riots in the streets of HK recently because some gubbment types wanted to start raising taxes - I think it was sales taxes - but once you start down that slippery slope - what is to stop the politicos from taxing everything from sales, to houses to dividends? Didn't they read about Laffer Curves like Kudlow -everyone knows tax cuts pay for themselves eh? Kennedy tried it and they killed him! at the cost of some dirty air, but not if you just invest here and live elsewhere, say Koh Samui, 2.5 hrs by direct flight :0) A lot of USA citizens want to do like that John Denver song and just fly away - or like Lightfoot sang about - jumping on that 707 - but the long arm of the tax man reaches globally today - even into exchanges in belgium eh? Renouncing thier USA citizenship to beat the taxes is hard for many eh? Didn't that guy who killed kennedy for reducing taxes try to renounce his US citizenship and become a USSR guy and they killed him too - see the response to this is always a bullet in your head General. My Buddy Sam Sloan www.samsloan.com is a raving lunatic according too many - but lots of his friends in the middle east are dead he is still making babies - because he got away from all the guns and hate and emotions - now when that comes to your area - why is shiny metal going to save you? Its not about the shiny metal - it about lemmings mindset - just ask the fed why inflation expectations are so important. science.slashdot.org Paragliding Military Drones Under Development But they will be cold and calculating - no human at the controls to feel sympathy for that sucker throwing the gold rock. Your gold rock may be worth 500K green pieces of paper - but when you go to the ronald the clown to eat a cow the gubbment can interpose themselves and make your hoard of shiny metal unable to buy you that cow like you hope. Why didn't you learn from your friend trotsky and stop giving your postings away for free? Tradermike also bailed on you on the BBR board - yet you are one of the last old guard left still giving it away - el mat's hooker friends say you are a fool! (snicker) Never give away free what some sucker will pay for - hehe - You are a true champion and man of the people General!
