Last week we saw how quickly a currency crisis can destroy someone’s savings. In just one week, the value of the Turkish Lira plummeted over 30% after the US imposed sanctions against Turkey. So anyone holding all of their savings in Turkish Lira got hammered. This was an unfortunate reminder of the importance
For the remainder of this week and through the weekend, I’m in Trakai, Lithuania – just outside the capital of Vilnius – for our 9th annual Blacksmith Liberty & Entrepreneurship Camp. Each summer, I host 60+ students from around the world in this picturesque setting. But these aren’t your normal “students.” These are
Yesterday, I shared how you can get a Brazilian passport for your entire family by having a baby within the country’s borders. Today, we’ll continue our discussion of building a proper Plan B. Again, a Plan B is simply an insurance policy. So many people have the vast majority of their assets in
I’ve been talking a lot about economic and market risks in Notes lately. But there’s a potentially even larger risk that you’re completely ignoring today. If you live, work, invest, own a business, bank or hold assets in a single country, you’re putting all of your eggs in one basket. You’re making a
I have to chuckle a bit… The mainstream media is now picking up on the idea of a second passport; and even adopting the Sovereign Man ethos of having a “Plan B.” Bloomberg published a widely-distributed article with the headline: Where the Super-Rich Go to Buy Their Second Passport The article begins… Cheaper

Today I’m going to share a unique, European-based idea that could set you up for decades to come… and could even benefit your children and grandchildren. But it’s only available until the end of 2018. First, let’s acknowledge that Europe is in a bit of a mess. I won’t dive into the nasty
[Editor’s note: In today’s Notes from the Field, I want to share an excerpt from our premium intelligence –Sovereign Confidential. We recently spoke with one of the world’s top gold experts.

In June 1884, a local farmer named Jan Gerritt Bantjes discovered gold on his property in a quiet corner of the South African Republic. Though no one had any idea at the time, Bantjes’ farm was located on a vast geological formation known as the Witwatersrand Basin… which just happens to contain the
On June 6, 1991, Richard Overton finally hit his breaking point. Apparently, Mr. Overton had been spending quite a lot of time in front of his television, watching a flurry of beer commercials featuring scantily clad women falling all over themselves for average looking men. Overton realized immediately that drinking Anheuser-Busch’s magical products
Sovereign Man readers know a second citizenship is an important part of any Plan B. In fact, I consider having a second passport the “ultimate insurance policy”.

These programs are known as economic citizenship programs, and they allow a person to obtain
251 million years ago, the Great Permian Extinction wiped out around 96% of Earth’s species. Scientists call it “the great dying.” And they believe it occurred because of an eruption in Siberia that released more than 200 billion gallons of molten lava. The lava released large amounts of Sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide
