Offshore Funds Offer
Profit, Protection & Privacy: How Do We Buy Them Safely? -Offshore
Funds Offer Profit, Protection & Privacy - I’m going to lift
the censorship on some of the best funds you’ve never heard of—including
funds that have produced outstanding returns during both the bull and bear
markets. I’ll also tell you the do’s and don’ts of investing in offshore
funds. Offshore funds present some of the most profitable investment
opportunities available internationally. However, there are certain "tax
traps" for unwary U.S. investors who purchase offshore funds without considering
the tax consequences. I’ll explain how these caveats and how to avoid them.

| How to Choose an
Offshore Haven - How
to Choose an Offshore Haven - At the root of this pernicious erosion
are the hyped-up "wars" on drugs, money laundering and terrorism. The war
on drugs gave birth to money laundering laws, and together these legal
weapons are being used to destroy privacy and bank secrecy. Where
two or three decades ago there were numerous haven nations where privacy
was expected and delivered, the high-tax nations have pushed, cajoled and
threatened until the field of choices has been dramatically reduced. By

International Investment
Made Easy - International
Investment Made Easy - You too can gain the sovereignty and freedom
that comes from having mobile income. Tax lien services are one good way
to attain this. The Internet and international direct mail means
almost anyone can use merchandising tools to offer products and services
abroad for greater independence and fun. Whether you offer tax lien services
or something else, “go global my friend!” You dramatically increase your
asset safety, increase your wealth and broaden your horizons. By Gary

Six Reasons to Invest Offshore
- Six
Reasons to Invest Offshore - Consider The New York Times. In a recent
front page article about an IRS crackdown on tax shelters, reporter David
Cay Johnson wrote: “These actions come after a decade in which enforcement
of the tax laws grew so lax that the tax shelter industry flourished and
tax crimes, like opening secret offshore bank accounts, openly advertised.”

| Six Important Reasons
You Should Own Non-U.S. Investments In Your Retirement Plan -Non-U.S.
Investments In Your Retirement Plan - Are you interested in international
real estate? Well, your IRA or pension plan can own raw land, condos, office
buildings, single or multi-family homes, apartment buildings and improved
land, so long as the real estate is not for your current personal use.
For many investors, their retirement plans have become one of, if not,
the largest asset they have. Clearly, it is vitally important to have these
assets in a position where they can provide access to the global trading
markets, the world’s best investments and money managers and added asset
protection. By Larry Grossman |

How to Overcome the Greatest
Threats to Your Wealth - How
to Overcome the Greatest Threats to Your Wealth - Then, there’s the
biggest whopper of them all: the myth that the U.S. dollar, the currency
in which most members will receive their retirement benefits, will preserve
its value. The dollar has lost over 95% of its value in the last 85 years.
Nor is it likely to recover its value, given a US$600 billion annual budget
deficit, a US$500 billion annual balance of trade gap and unfunded federal
government obligations that now total an astonishing US$44 trillion. By

Never Pay U.S. Taxes
Again - Legally - Never
Pay U.S. Taxes Again - Legally - Becoming a tax exile is not
without problems, but, so far, they are more political than legal. The
source of the current controversy over expatriation was a sensational article
in the Nov. 24, 1994 issue of Forbes magazine, entitled “The New Refugees.”
Filled with juicy details (famous names, luxury addresses, big dollar tax
savings), the story described how clever ex-Americans who became citizens
of certain foreign nations, paid little or no U.S. federal and state income,
estate and capital gains taxes. By Robert E. Bauman, JD |

Obscure
Tax Havens of the World - Obscure
Tax Havens of the World - At The Sovereign Society, we constantly
refer to our top four financial havens—Switzerland, Panama, Liechtenstein,
and Hong Kong (with Austria as honorable mention for its banking secrecy).But
there are several other tax and asset protection havens out there. Each
of these lesser-known havens has its own specialties that may be worth
considering. Take the Isle of Man—it’s a leader in annuities and life insurance
as investment vehicles. Nevis is great for asset protection trusts and
is one of only two nations that might arrange for immediate economic citizenship
and a second passport. Oct./06

the Government’s Attempts to Spy on Your Finances - No broker reporting
requirements apply to purchases or sales of collectibles: art, diamonds,
antiques, stamps, rare coins, etc. Another reason collectibles are valuable
as a private investment is that they do not generate current income. Nor
are dealers required to notify any government authority when you sell collectibles

Hidden Gems: The Sovereign Society Unveils a Treasure-Trove of Value-Play
Shares - In a world where most CEOs hype their company’s
prospects, it’s refreshing to see how the Swiss describe their companies
in the most conservative terms possible. Pilatus Bahn’s CEO, André
Zimmermann, described the 2003 tourism season as being “at a low.” Well,
the number of passengers riding the railroad up to the peak of Pilatus
peak rose 11.8% to 321,457, and revenue from the sale of tickets climbed
12.8% to SFr10.8 million. The hotels, restaurants, and shops on the mountaintop
brought in another SFr5.0 million in revenues, up 12.9% from the previous
year. Despite the increase in business, the company’s costs sank by 2%,
leading to cash flow of SFr3.9 million, up a whopping 50%. The
