I doubt you would have problems staying there for 3 months. As was mentioned above, people who move there under the pensionado title get tax breaks on income and property. You might be abel to stay 90 days on a tourist visa, but Panama is a country that freely admits deposed dictators so I doubt you coming for 90 days is a problem lol...
No self-respecting trader would settle on just one place. He must have an appropriate residence for each season.
spring: New York, people emerge from the cold ready to live.
summer: PIck any of those postcard Swiss towns by a lake. One should always check up on the bankers face to face as well. (Chicago as an alternate)
fall: Caribbean/Florida Keys, island time is correct, and without the summer heat/hurricanes or winter snowbirds
winter: Thailand, if you are complaining about trading hours, stop being a p*ssy and grow a pair. Some of those crazy forex guys get 4-6 noncontiguous hours of sleep. (Southern California as an alternate, 65 degrees and sunny in the middle of January is tough to beat)

I have to ask what makes Seattle beat Vancouver B.C. in your opinion? Just curious as I think Vancouver is one of the best cities in the Western Hemisphere and Seattle seems like a city with suburbs...no doubt there are nice and pretty things to do there...but Vancouver has so so so much beauty and nature and it's all really accessible by bike. Not to mention being so close to Whistler and Jasper ain't exactly a bad thing.
And for the record I spent about a year living in Portland, OR which I find to be a sort of mini-Vancouver and I'd say that's one of the best cities in N. America as it's a rather stress-free, healthy, friendly, happening place to live.
I agree 100%. I prefer it to Seattle. Smaller and more intimate. Fantastic city for walking around....great coffee and book shops, nice people. For architecture fans, Portland has beautiful old refurbished homes in the hills above the city with unforgettable views of Mt. Hood & Mt St Helens.
For hikers & Fly-fishermen and other outdoor nuts like myself, the state of Oregon is hard to beat.
Seattle has hippies which you can abuse and beat up.....half of them are homeless so its fun harassing them...right????
Plus, they have a lot of coffee and weed there thus the weather (raining constantly) does not matter.
PS.....I was going to drink with my buddies yesterday in NYC....and I seen bunch of hippies in front of a Vietnamese restaurant....let me tell you its good times abusing them..if you want to join in I am passing a sign up sheet to abuse hippies.

Yea, both Portland & Seattle have some street urchins, but they're pretty mellow. I never felt uncomfortable walking in Portland. Atlanta, now that's a whole different story.
As for the rain, in the Northwest, it either bothers you or it doesn't. There's consistently misty weather from November thru April.
