 How
many stock markets in the world? We have heard numerous estimates, but
no definitive answers. Interestingly, some markets do better than the tried
& true. Brazil came out of nowhere and stunned
the world with a run up that showed no signs of leveling off. When
we started this website, China wasn't even a contender. Does that
mean that one should go looking for the next opportunity? Sort of.
Jimmy Rogers, the Investment Biker, went around the world with his girlfriend
on motorcycles; whenever and wherever he could he looked at the local stock
markets, and he invested. Jimmy Rogers knows where to look, he know what
to look for. He's extremely rich. Does Jimmy Rogers have the answer
to overseas stock markets, and how to play them? Perhaps, he is rich, and
he made his money far from the maddening crowd. Take a look at these
stock markets, you may just find some treasure. Also if you want to see
what Jim Rogers has to say about investing, it would be worthwhile to look
at that also. See Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in
the World's Best Market - Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers
- Jim Rogers is a guy who is not looking in the same spot. While
others lost fortunes in the down turn, he made one. |

service, although its trust regime, modelled on common law precedents,
is unique among civil law jurisdictions, and is widely used. The variety
and great flexibility of the corporate forms available in Liechtenstein,
coupled with excellent tax-saving possibilities, has encouraged an inflow
of holding and investment management companies.

 Where
to Own Gold – Asset Protection Planning
- Owning precious metals seems to be the only protection from governments

allocated or unallocated physical storage. |

 Moving
Money Offshore By Jay Butler Asset Protection Services Ltd
- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers all income reportable regardless
of the source or location derived and most assets held offshore are reportable,
however some are not. When looking to preserve your assets it is important
to understand the difference between taxable income and reportable assets.
Here are 3 ways to legally move money offshore without any requirements
to report it to the United States government, the IRS or international
regulatory agency. 1.) Opening an Offshore Bank Account - >

 How
to Maintain Asset Privacy Within the US By Bobby Casey, Global Wealth Protection
- With asset protection planning, anonymity seems to be the number one
concern for people these days. And rightly so. Any 11 year
old with a laptop can easily do an online record search and find your bank
accounts and their balances, your vehicle registrations, your real estate
assets, your credit report, your residence history and even your driving
record. Many clients are interested in anonymity and asset protection.
In some cases clients confuse the two. They think that anonymity
is asset protection. It is not, but anonymity does have benefits.
When forming an FLP (family limited partnership) or an LLC (limited liability
company), the strength of the entity is dependent upon the state of formation,
the quality of the operating agreement and the business purpose of the
entity. -

 Hedgefund
Manager’s Report from China - I am writing
this from the back of a taxi in Hong Kong’s Central district. My meetings
with assorted bankers, hedge fund managers, Taipans, and the press stretched
on longer than expected, with the result that I am now stuck in rush hour
traffic on the way to the airport. So I might as well use the time productively
and sum up my thoughts on my recent trip to China. When I first cajoled
my way into to the Middle Kingdom in the early seventies, it was in the
back of a broken down truck carrying bags of wheat, no doubt destined to
a thriving black market. We drove down a heavily potholed single lane road
that had not seen serious maintenance since the thirties. -

 List
Of Offshore Banks - An offshore bank is defined
by its location, or 'jurisdiction'. An offshore bank is usually located
outside of the depositors country of residence, typically within a jurisdiction
that levies very low taxes, or no taxes at all. Each jurisdiction
varies in its degree of taxation, its degree of privacy, and its services.
Offshore banks located in politically and economically stable jurisdictions
provide a safe-haven for assets that may be at risk in the nation in which
the investor lives and holds residency. |

Expat
Taxes - Offshore Tax Information - Foreign Earned Income

 Stock
Markets / Stock Exchanges A - E (Africa through Europe)
- Some exchanges are physical locations where transactions are carried
out on a trading floor, by a method known as open outcry. This type of
auction is used in stock exchanges and commodity exchanges where traders
may enter "verbal" bids and offers simultaneously. The other type of stock
exchange is a virtual kind, composed of a network of computers where trades
are made electronically via traders. The purpose of a stock exchange is
to facilitate the exchange of securities between buyers and sellers, thus
providing a marketplace (virtual or real). The exchanges provide real-time
trading information on the listed securities, facilitating price discovery. |

 Stock
Markets / Stock Exchanges O - Z (Oman through Zimbabwe)
- In 12th century France the courratiers de change were concerned with
managing and regulating the debts of agricultural communities on behalf
of the banks. Because these men also traded with debts, they could be called
the first brokers. A common misbelief is that in late 13th century Bruges
commodity traders gathered inside the house of a man called Van der Beurze,
and in 1309 they became the "Brugse Beurse", institutionalizing what had
been, until then, an informal meeting, but actually, the family Van der
Beurze had a building in Antwerp where those gatherings occurred; the Van
der Beurze had Antwerp, as most of the merchants of that period, as their
primary place for trading. The idea quickly spread around Flanders and
neighboring counties and "Beurzen" soon opened in Ghent and Amsterdam. |
