PT intelligence for expats in Cambo
Can anyone recommend a subscription newsletter ('Poor Richard's Offshore Monitor' or some such) that deals with internationalizing one's assets in 2011+? Most that I have seen are priced and targeted for the rich. I used to get one in 1981 for $50 a year and learned all sorts of great stuff such as - open bank X in the Isle of Man. But conditions have changed for the worse and it seems to have become very esoteric. Sparsbuchs, aren't they dead? I think my Swiss friend said they are now available only to German-speaking customers. How weird! The challenge is getting info while it is valid, accurate, and hasn't been overused so Big Brother hasn't made those techniques, locations and companies suspect or unworkable for the little guy.
My biggest criticism of newsletters (now that would be websites) is that they are usually fronts for businesss selling foreign real estate or absurdly priced second passports, banking introductions (what horseshit) and that ilk. I just mean pure information without a vested interest/advertising angle. I'd be happy to pay $500 a year for such a neutral information. Far Eastern Ecomic Review, The Economist, etc - I learn things from reading them, but I am looking for something more like a digest and with the editorial attitude 'we are not your babysitter, laws and enforcement vary with jurisdictions and time. Check with a lawyer if you think any of our recommended tax and residency strategies are problematic for persons carrying your pasport.' I've noticed a considerate conervativization in editorial approcah since 9/11, as if organizing ones life for maximum freedom could somehow be construed to be a terrorist or unpatriotic act.
The free e-newsletters are usually crap. I am fed up getting their spam. Maybe there is a forum for like-minded expats in Asia who want to be free of all unresonable third-party controls, don't hurt anybody and are not ouit to change the world, just be left alone to not be alone, keep their assets and move around a lot.
offsore news and advice source?
