One of my good friends spends a lot of time in Thailand. He loves it. :)

BlueHorseshoe made an excellent suggestion about Hilo. Hilo is beautiful and affordable !! I think you would really enjoy the Big Island of Hawaii. :)

If you're going to transfer to University of Hawaii, you'll likely be considering housing in the Makiki area (unless you're living in a dorm). It's a high density area filled with condominiums and apartments and close to UH. Then again, Waikiki is very close as well. Good luck !! :-)...

IB first impression and continuing impression for me - Excellent !! :) Any glitches are addressed in a timely manner and company listens to its customers. IB is constantly making improvements.

1 vote for excellent.

dlincke... sorry about the problems you're having. I do like your sense of humor though - I couldn't stop myself from laughing. :D "Today I received another cryptic failure email from them about my address document not being readable even though by now I had blown everything up by 100% so...

Cesco - "You guys don't even know the bounty has been $25,000,000 for a long,long time. Is this a serious thread or a joke? " You need to learn to read more carefully. Crazy_trader reported last September that reward was increased to 25 million.:eek:

I wonder how the guy fooled so many people - even the press. At least some folks realized he was a scam from the start. The guy sure did live it up for a while... nice women. :D

I think Soros is a naturalized American Citizen. So there may still be an opportunity for US Citizens to set up a legal offshore trading business to minimize taxes and that is compliant with IRS regulations. This is a very interesting subject - I've thought about doing the same myself. :)...

praetorian2 - the 80k exclusion from income earned abroad looks next to impossible to receive if you are physically located in the United States. I agree - I'd hire a tax attorney before looking into establishing an offshore trading account to lessen the tax bite. George Soros is doing so...

praetorian2 - these links should help... check out the Nevada tax savings example !! :) Florida: http://www.stateofflorida.com/residency.html Nevada: http://www.ashleyquinncpas.com/resources/view_resource.phtml?resourceID=45 Income earned abroad...

I could care less about Soros views on politics etc. What I was trying to highlight is that folks like Soros owe part of their success because they take advantage of a legal loophole that the IRS is fully aware of - offshore trading. If it works for Soros - it should work for us. :)...
