    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    I am starting to get frustrated. The corporation you refer to is called a International Business Company IBC. You need to appoint directors. preferably in a place that has some kind of laws regarding this like the channel islands. (Although there is talk that they roll over at the slightest...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Not if you have the ownership of the IBC via an asset protection trust. i.e. you don't own the company. Problem is the directors of the company can't let you trade without encurring a personnel liability for your losses. Question is is there a way around this problem?

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Option in two currencies on the same underlying

    How do you trade a call on a stock which is quoted on two exchanges in two different currencies. Assume that the price in the two currencies is watched and arbitraged fairly efficiently against the FX. Also you can short/long options in both countries. An example would be BHP listed...

    International Business Corporations and Brokers

    Does anyone know of a trust company that will allow the IBC to open a margin account at a broker like IB? Issue is that the trust company supplies the directors to the IBC and they feel that if the IBC has a margin account and loses all its cash they will be held liable as directors.

    Arbitrage type strategies.

    Theres a problem with their example you need to do the offsetting currency transaction. So Buy IBM(US Sell IBM(Gr) and do the offsetting USD/EUR otherwise you are basically taking a currency view. Clearly this type of "Arbitrage" is dependent on costs and execution.

    Goldman Front Running

    If I had Infineon shares and my broker knew a big sale was coming and didn't tell me. And assuming I had the size. I'd take my business elsewhere. Now I ask you do you really think this doesn't go on everyday. Catch a wake up
