Laughably, I noted the following
March 26, 2010 Vancouver, BC I’m headed to Panama shortly where I look forward to meeting up with my friends and colleagues in the Atlas 400 group. We’re going to an exclusive deep-sea fishing resort for a few days, and afterwards I plan on taking up some unfinished business in Panama. One of

March 24, 2010 Hong Kong, SAR One of the worst things that can happen to a country is to experience a brain-drain. The loss of productive people who create new technologies and companies means the loss of the jobs and wealth that they create. The long-term aggregate effects of this can be truly
March 23, 2010 Hong Kong, SAR The banking system in Hong Kong is one of the most advanced in the world, and if you’re shopping around for a place to plant a banking flag, you should definitely consider it. As a jurisdiction, Hong Kong was effectively founded and built into a global financial
March 22, 2010 Hong Kong, SAR If you have been considering planting a flag somewhere in Asia, I think you should really consider Malaysia. I briefly discussed the country in Friday’s Q&A updates, but I wanted to dedicate a full letter on the subject because I really think the country is worthy of
March 19, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand My time here in Thailand is finally coming to an end, at least for now. On Monday morning, after I stop by the US embassy to pick up my renewed passport, I’ll be headed to Hong Kong. I should briefly mention something about passports. Starting in 2007, the
March 18, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand Something interest happened this week in Thailand that I think says a lot about the country and its people. For the last several months… well, years, actually… a large group of organized protesters has stepped up its calls for the current government of Thailand to step down. The
March 17, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand In response to your feedback on last week’s missive about New Zealand, I’ve once again asked my friend Mark, who is living there locally now, to pen a few words about the country’s immigration policies in response to your questions: First off, thanks to all of Simon’s readers
March 16, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand Several months ago, I told you about a strategy for building substantial wealth and planting an important flag with your Individual Retirement Account.

March 15, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand I was laying in bed sick recently watching Conan the Barbarian… yes I admit it. Some people eat chicken soup, I drown myself in cheesy Hollywood violence.

March 12, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand Greetings once again from the land of smiles. First of all, I really appreciate all the responses after yesterday’s letter in which I announced that I will be speaking at the upcoming Casey Research Crisis and Opportunity Summit.

March 11, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand Today I want to make an important announcement in the hopes that you will join me in a few weeks time. If you’ve been following this missive for any period of time, you know that I spend a lot of time all over the world, but only very
March 10, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand Yesterday I apparently declared a premature end to major combat operations against the virus that has invaded my body. Maybe it was just the celebratory Mexican food I ate last night to commemorate the end of my 4-day sickness, but I now seem to be experiencing my own
March 9, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand First of all, thanks for all the well-wishes for my speedy recovery. I’m feeling much better today, no doubt due to this exotic root that my ladies have been giving me. I haven’t asked what it is yet, but rest assured I will be traveling with it from
