Singapore – The Switzerland of Asia

Glad that it posed no trouble to you. What is most enviable about you is that you manage to find multiple women that you can trust with your money. Amazing! I have heard many stories about men getting poor from divorce. Here is a man who found several women whom he can trust with his money.

Aren't you afraid the women will take away your money and run? Isn't that a big risk?

Like everybody else on the planet I have some weaknesses and some strengths. I know what these are for me, I know 'em well. That's why TRADING works for me. I know my weaponry intimately, its limitations and when I can turn on the afterburners. I know this well about myself.


Master strengths
Sales Closing - I'm a one-call closer who gets the money even in the toughest of situations - and here's the kicker - the customers who've bought from me make me a family member. I never stand behind a shit product, its always gotta be one I myself love. Even one unhappy customer causes me lack of sleep - I must solve his problem.

Women - no woman has EVER betrayed me or stolen or cheated or misappropriated funds. They love me and I, them. I have zero fear of women and find them to be just downright beautiful creatures, could not live without them. This Physical Universe was constructed as a 2-terminal universe, so I do have it on my side as in TRADING = go with the Trend aka river.
In this arena I avoid entitled bitches to the nth degree, these are to be found in America for the most part and are in a bull market that will destroy the fabric of the family

Making Money - YAWN! I have no fear. I can start from ten dollars and within a short period of time hit a million. I give it away as fast as it comes and it just keeps coming. I have no explanation for this except that my 99% giving to the poor invokes THE MAN ABOVE's message to me, "you are my beloved son, in thee I am well pleased!"

I am not sure about UK putting foreigners first. Basically money talks. If you have £2m to invest in the UK you can come in on a tier 1 visa and work towards residency and citizenship. If you want to settle in the USA for example you can get an investment visa if you invest $500k. What it comes down to is if you are a high net worth individual from anywhere in the world you can pretty much choose where you settle. Also if you are a high net worth individual you have access to the best accountants & lawyers because you can afford their advice/bills.

In my experience it depends on the high net worth individual, some of them believe in paying a similar % tax to the masses but others will try and pay the absolute minimum they can get away with. If you are a high net worth individual it is very easy to shift your 'income' out of income tax rules and into capital gains rules. For example you can own or create businesses and take no income just relying on drawing down from your net worth. Capital is then extracted from the company via selling/floating using offshore/trust structures.

Unfortunately this is the world we live in at the moment. The worker who earns £50k in salary gets taxed a crazy percentage once you add up the total tax take from everything. Income Tax, National Insurance, Council (Property) Tax, VAT, fuel tax etc. The high net worth individual can comfortably get away with paying pennies in the pound.

The real corporate theft going on is with companies like Amazon. The had £5bn turnover in the UK in 2015 and paid £11m corporation tax in Luxembourg, work that out as a % lol. That is grossly unfair. Then you have small family run retail businesses in the UK paying huge taxes, business rates etc etc, it's impossible for them to compete.

Prop-warrior;
AMZN finally started, after years of not doing it;collecting out of state sales tax, USA. Perhaps it was they stared getting so many warehouses in so many states, ??I think the main problem is the small family businesses, in UK or anywhere paying high taxes, not some with a good CPA, or taking advantage of tax laws. Partial disclosure; i live in TN like TX, FLA [USa] ......has no state income tax. Thy run foxes, 2, in many places LOL.UK gov has clearly done too much micro-management/goofs.....

Some countries, like the UK put foreigners first, especially rich ones. They live in the best areas, in the best properties with no questions asked , like how did they come by all that money.
These Non Doms pay little tax and often import foreign labour.
UK politicians have been known to get kick backs ( invitations etc. ) from Oligarchs and others.
We have to live mainly in the slums and suburbs of our own country. There is resentment around the world but it hasn't reached Britain much, yet.

Did they fix all the front running the sterling/gov reports yet?? WSJ wrote like it was major problem.

Now they want me to take 'em to Singapore to play with MerLion

Lunch on that big-ass boat across those buildings has them fired up. New account openings for some of them is part of the trip, their first taste of a piece of the first world, the Singapore dollar. A couple of them asked me, "Joe, why do you like the US Dollar more than the Singapore Dollar, aren't they both the same?

No, they ain't the same. For one thing the Champion who was down for decades, counted out by all except Joe, has woken up and is now threatening to blast thru' resistance since 1970
