I live and trade from Panama City and although I have never been to DR my maid comes from the DR and came here because of the poverty and inability to get a reasonable paid job. She tells me that the power is always going off and the internet is unreliable and expensive. Here in PC, I trade without aircon from a Condo, I have two connections, cable and ADSL, the power rarely goes off and we spend the weekends at the beach or on the lake fishing for bass. During the week we can hit as many restaurants as we want and never go to the same place twice. Last weekend we took our two year old to see the Barney show at the Atlapa theater, then we ate ribs at one of the restaurants in a new mall. To top it off, I pay no property tax and no capital gains tax on my in country deposits or stock market gains. Come and visit.
