| Dreams
and Disappointments: Wine Investing in Argentina |
| -
“I’m going to open a winery!” How many times have those fateful words been
uttered, in English, French, Spanish, or Italian? Close your eyes and you
can almost see the glee on the entrepreneur’s face as he imagines himself
running this new enterprise. “After all, I know a lot about wine,” he says.
“I have the money to make it happen. I have some good connections.” He
kicks back in an easy chair, swirling a glass of cabernet, picturing days
of entertaining buyers, attending awards banquets, and hobnobbing with
restaurant owners. |

beautiful beaches, dazzling casinos, world-class restaurants, and upscale
shops have lured tourists for almost a century. And, perhaps best of all,
it’s located in Uruguay, one of Latin America’s First World countries;

overlooking a roiling ocean… a place where you can stand on your deck with
a cocktail in hand and watch the sun set pink and orange beyond a watery
horizon… |

| An
Old Olive Mill in Southern Spain …. Business AND Pleasure !! |
| -
Embraced by the rugged, but beautiful terrain to be found in the heart
of Andalucía, Gaucín was once a sleepy, sun-bleached village.
Nowadays, it is managing to balance a centuries-old way of life with a
burgeoning interest from tourists seeking the authenticity of ‘real’ Spain.
Here they are discovering the ideal ‘get away from it all’ holiday destination...
indeed, one of the attractions of Gaucín is that it is so laid-back,
even the cicadas take a siesta. |

| Dominican
Republic Real Estate Questions and Anwers |
| -
Certainly if you have been considering a home, apartment, ocean front villa
or even rural farmland as well, it is very true that the Dominican Republic
does offer some of the most attractively priced real estate in the Caribbean.
Dollar for dollar (or Peso for Peso) your money will go further in the
DR and thus the obvious interest of our clients. In addition, depending
upon the value of the home you purchase, it is quite possible that your
new home could be free of annual property taxes as well. |

| Our
Life on Roatan: A Leisurely, Luxurious, Affordable Caribbean Dream |
| -
You smell the perfume of the white ginger and watch the palm fronds sway
in the southeastern trade winds… slip into quiet, blue water that feels
like velvet on the skin… walk along the white sand and scoop up shells,
adding to a collection already spilling onto the patio table... Experiences
like those -- a daily pleasure on Roatan, Honduras -- are, really, what
enticed us to invest here. |

|
| Ball
of confusion |
| - There have
been few times in any of our lives when the global economy was on such
a knife edge; teetering on the brink of either a soft landing followed
by a rebound into growth or a slide into a period of tougher times. Analysts
are split almost evenly on the most likely scenario but they are unanimous
on the catalyst for change and all eyes are focussed intently and directly
on the US economy. |

| Who's
Keeping Oil Down? |
| - Oil
had energy investors reaching for the Tums the last few weeks. So,
what happened? Mainstream financial media blamed crude’s tumble on everything
from Iran playing nice with the U.S. to a so far hurricane-less hurricane
season in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. But any intelligent observer can see
that the fall was too hard and too sudden to be caused by these factors
alone. |

| The
Estate Retirement Plan |
| -
Stretch IRAs have been all over the news lately from USA Today to MSN Money.
And with all this nice publicity, it might seem like some brilliant financial
planner invented a brand new kind of retirement plan. But actually, there
is no such thing as a “stretch IRA.” But there is a way to make your IRA
last for generations and grow tax deferred for many, many years. |

Medicine, Spirits and All |
| - We have
all heard of Witch Doctors, Medicine Men, and the lore of their strange
methodology for healing, spirits and all. Have you ever wondered
if any of what has been bandied about for centuries might be true?
Well, back in August, my wife and I and our nearly 3-year-old daughter
had a first-hand experience with this ancient and dubious healing method.
We certainly got more than we bargained for, and I thought the experience
was worthy of reporting. |
