Apparently Montreal is also a hot spot for good looking girls. I went a few months ago and was also sorely disappointed. I am still partial to latinas. Columbia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Chile, Brasil and Argentina are my choices.

a VAT makes a lot of sense, but they have to cut spending. My vote is defense. 50% of our budget goes to bullets and tanks. We could cut that in half and STILL have the largest military in the world.

The first person on this tread who accused me of not know what I was talking about quickly changed his tone. 1. You need to learn the difference between "tax planning" and "tax avoidance" the latter is illegal. 2. Why do you think corporate structures exist? accounting 101. 3...

1. Depends on tax laws in each country. 2. I think it is much more complicated than that, and probably changes on a regular basis.

Prop. 1. I never recomended it. That is the simply the name of a company where i live. 2. I dont understand how setting up a company can be a big fat fail? 3. I dont have an old company..what are you refering to? 4. How is the 10 year rule wrong? How about you calm down and...

Watching SDS VERY closely. Recessions this string take years and years to work themselves out. we will be sideways to down for a good 5 years.

couple of questions. 1. You are in the UK trading on the FTSE right? So the prices there are respresented in Pence? 2. Why are you long the index and short underlying shares (are they compnents of the index?) 3. Why do you want to sell based on market cap? My initial imprssion is...

The US has law enforcement all over the world. Where I live (Costa Rica) people are rather famous for pulling crap like that. Here they have en entire "tax task force" from the IRS here...soemthing like 60-70 people going thorugh files and records and looking for high risk people and tax...

i honestly hope the entire party gets rid of shitbuckets like, Rush, hannity, oreilly and that evil chick. They REALLY need to change their tone if they want my vote. The hatred, intolerance, warmongering and selfishness are stunning. The republican party is supposed to be...

Yes and no. 1. If you are talking online trading..most will not directly allow US Citizens. 2. That leave you with an old fashioned brokerage house. High comissions which would make your momma blush. We are talking 1% of the account to make a trade. 3. as stated above, they do get all...

Gang- The orginal thread was posted by a US citizen in Japan. I dont know if he has to be a legal resident to open a corp or not...but the point is that he lives abroad. The idea with a company is that you are a professional and your "business" is trading. You can do this with an LLC...

Now that I have answered your questions.... Sorry, I forgot to ask where you life and your particular experience in these matters?

Wow...You sure are combative. try calming down a bit. I told a firend of mine the other day that I thought the main problem in the US is that people are so conflictual. You seem to be a perfect example of that. Here are your answers. 1. Guys like me? what guys would those be? Yes, I...

I am only 33. I looked into this as well. Not bad idea, but when I looked into it Bush was still in power and giving up US passports was highly frowned upon. You have to understand that very few people give up US citzenship and you fall under a great deal of scrutiny for doing so. They...

Wrong-o!...Sorry I guys I saw a bunch of false info here. have to chime in so nobody gets arrested. :) My first post...nice to see you, blah blah. I have been living overseas for 5 years. HERE is how it works. 1. As stated...there is an income exclusion up to $87k. This is correct...
