And the fundamentals are changing dramatically in a positive way.''

Quote from optioncoach:
Lol well he lost money and is short of funds and Asia has no extradition....
So selling a house and moving overseas makes sense
On what facts do you have to imply that is relocating to avoid some sort of extradition?...What law has he been charged with breaking, or charged with breaking or convicted of where you imply he is fleeing?
Since you are new I will go easy on you:
1. It was clearly a joke.
2. If you are being sued and you flee the country and have judgement entered against you, there are a few laws you will be violating. Thus why people go to non-extradition treaty countries. They are judgement proof as long as they do not come back to the country.
3. It was a joke.

Wall street veteran Jim Rogers -- who wrote the best-selling books "Hot Commodities" and "Investment Biker" -- put his Manhattan home on the market this month for $15 million.
Mr. Rogers, who founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros in the 1970s, says he paid about $105,000 for the 26-foot-wide, American Renaissance-style town house in 1977. He bought the property, built in 1899, from the Catholic Church, which had used it as a school and residence for 35 years. The house has had only three owners since it was built, according to the listing agent, and sits on Riverside Drive and 107th Street, overlooking Riverside Park and the Hudson River.
The money manager restored all of the house's original details, including a wide baronial staircase, mahogany and oak woodwork, and moldings, according to the listing agent, Lisa Lippman, of Brown Harris Stevens. The house also has eight wood-burning fireplaces, several Juliet balconies, a sunken garden, a wine cellar and a roof deck, measuring about 1,000 square feet, with a sauna and hot tub.
The home has a windowed basement that Mr. Rogers, 63 years old, uses as his office. He says he's planning a move to Asia when the home sells.
