    What investment is making you 10%+ yearly?

    @deraty Do I read it correctly that by paying €1,295 you're getting a €100K permanent allocation? What is the % profit distribution? What happens if you lose part of it? NVO

    Investing community where people focus on determining tops and bottoms

    Don't know where you got this from but it's pretty damn accurate (bar the 1987 and 1997-1998 crashes). I mean...1999 and 2007....... Edit: found it here https://www.therationalinvestor.com/blog/how-the-benner-cycle-predicts-100-years-of-market-movement - so thanks for the addition, hadn't heard...

    Buying Stocks with crypto is here!

    One quick question that comes to mind after reading this: "As for these Tokenized assets, unlike traditional stock markets that close after regular hours, these tokenized stocks will be available for trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Kraken will use the Solana blockchain to make this...

    Mentor Group Gold - AD Thread! Completely DFY 0% Tax Setups. Over 35 Countries available.

    I appreciate this reply. I didn't know and will definitely check it out. I'll also bear it in mind for future plans. One more thing: do you offer instalments or scaled fee payment based on completed milestones?

    Paraguay residency is kind of misleading. First you obtain a 2-year temporary residence and then proceed to the permanent residence. Also, minimum timing is 3-4 months after the required visit to present the documents at the immigration office. That should be made entirely clear to any one...

    UAE Company Setup + Corporate Bank Account through SPC - My journey

    Not entirely the case nowadays. Sharjah and Ajman (can't speak for RAK as I don't have any insight) freezone companies are allowed to open bank accounts not just in Wio but other banks, like I said in my original post. Even a branch office account opening process at RAKBank, which I would not...

    IBKR alternatives (based outside the US) for non-US / non-EU citizens?

    Thank you for this @Clank , I daresay your contributions in this forum are very useful, so kudos to you and thank you. I saw your post regarding Schwab HK, but unfortunately, it does not allow me to open, as it redirects to "international" once you select any residency outside their top of the...

    IBKR alternatives (based outside the US) for non-US / non-EU citizens?

    If it's not too much to ask (and off-topic), what non-us, non IBKR broker would you recommend that allows for US ETFS, options and corporate bonds? These brokers you all mention seem to offer stocks/ETFs + options, but bonds (corporate/sovereign) seem to be cut off. I just wonder if there's a...

    Looking for a country to make a high rentability real estate investment

    For what is worth, I have a contact in Dubai that is from East Africa who is knowledgeable of that part of the world (Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan/South Sudan, etc), with whom I've realized good land deals (Kenya), and found some other gems (Uganda). My interest on the...

    OK, got it, but let's keep the thread about the UAE's SPC Freezone setup and stay on-topic, please. LOL I did sound like a moderator here...

    UAE Company Setup + Corporate Bank Account through SPC - My journey

    Hi everyone, willing to give OCT back a little of the wisdom gained over the years of being around here, through my own recent experience. I don't know exactly how, but I ended up a while back landing on this short (lol) thread...

    Looking for a country to make a high rentability real estate investment

    Yes and No. Being on the case at the moment, and keeping tabs with the market in St Petersburg and Moscow, both on the resale and the new development markets, have just reached a couple of interesting deals with a potential 7% net yield. Nothing to write home about. And believe me, I've done...

    Looks like the corporate back rate lending CLOs imploding

    I for one would NEVER ever recommend anything Raoul (grift)Pal touches, ie, Real Vision (founder). A waste of time and money from the "going IRRESPONSIBLY long ETH @4k". Just saying. There are few but extremely good FREE accounts on Twitter that will provide you with more and better info than...
