A Promising And Profitable Portfolio Addition

I’ve never been much into stocks. It’s not that I have any ideological objection to them, or anything like that. I always just thought they took too much time and management. The market goes up and down all the time—I would have to be looking at my portfolio every day and judging when to buy [...]

From Crisis To Opportunity In A Single Step

Last week as shots rang out in Butler, Pennsylvania, the U.S. came within an inch of all-out chaos. Then came the CrowdStrike computer crash which grounded flights and downed systems in hospitals, emergency services, banks, governments, schools, and more around the world.

The Not So Great Debate

Smell that? It’s the ashes of last week’s dumpster fire of a debate still smoldering… and that stench won’t clear easy. In between all the mumbling, bumbling, and name-calling, came the squabbling over inflation, immigration, abortion, and the big stuff too, like the candidates’ prowess on the golf course and elsewhere… If a tornado hit [...]

An Iron-Clad System For Keeping Your Assets Safe

When the King of Rock and Roll died in August 1977, his estate was valued at more than $10 million. Unfortunately, Elvis Presley’s will wound up going through probate, and it took three years for the lawyers to work things out in court.

Bulletproof Your Future

Why should you be looking beyond the United States for opportunity? I probably don’t need to go into all the problems America is facing these days. Unsustainable debt. Useless politicians. Everybody angry at everybody else. I started looking overseas for investment opportunities more than 30 years ago. I did it because I wanted new adventures, [...]

How To Hold Property Overseas

How should one hold property overseas? That’s a regular question at conferences… especially my International Property Summit event each year. The best option depends on the person, the property, and the country where the property is located… and even what funds you’re using for the investment. Use IRA funds and, generally speaking, you should set [...]
