At the end of last year I promised some specifics, but I didn’t say which specifics. This is a general missive available to all on the net. Some specifics might be misunderstood and get reliable people in trouble. Other specifics might be understood too well and get loopholes, created for the use of governments and their puppet masters, closed. We usually reserve these small opportunities for well known clients. To overuse is to lose — then we will have to find the new loopholes they will create.
But there are specifics you need that can be provided without reading our free reports, consulting with us, seeking referrals, or otherwise extending yourself. A comfort zone is a hard thing to leave. So, sit in your most comfortable reading chair and look outside your life for the next few moments. I promise to get you back in time for the next depressing, distracting from reality, and unactionable news cast.
The first specific is a reason for action. You know the reasons on some level or you wouldn’t be here. If you live in any of the overdeveloped countries you are watching your safety, taxes, benefits, and all other aspects of your life style being threatened. You can blame it on anyone else and probably do. Over time those things that are excellent return to average, and frequently some of those things once despised become average and then soar beyond to excellent. In statistics as applied to investments, this is referred to as regression-to-the-mean — everything eventually becomes average once again, and then frequently goes past. Few things hang around the mean for long.
It’s okay to be in a once inefficient and despotic nation that is growing in freedom and opportunity. Worse is a once wild and free country that has discovered regulation, high taxes, big debt, and a rationing of opportunity. Most overdeveloped countries won’t stop at the mean, they will fall well below it before their momentum slows.
The second specific is a reason for caution. You probably know people that have lost houses and businesses due to crooks in banks, that were empowered by laws, from bought politicians (of both parties, deceit has no party favorites). Few nations are more honest than the one you are in now, and they have laws that are unfamiliar, and societies that tolerate or attack different problems. You will need good council, anywhere in the world, including where you are.
The problem with counsel where you are is they are justly afraid of your government too. There are things they won’t tell you, things they are required to report without telling you, and things not taught in the schools they attended so they can’t tell you. And these are the honest ones. To get a view of the world outside your borders you will have to travel outside your borders. Once there, be picky. Don’t just take the word of one nice guy in a bar, talk to lots of people. Then interview many consultants as Mr. or Mrs. Smith, get some ideas from each. Check those ideas with the local consulate of the countries they mention to see if their products actually exist. If this sounds worth cautiously pursuing, start by reading a free report or two.
The third specific is a reason to stay put. You are established and well known. Yes things are getting worse; but it’s happening slowly, you can adapt. You are in a comfortable groove, you know what to expect and what to do for every day of the rest of your life. You won’t change, it would disrupt everyone’s lives around you. In fact if you stay, the people you know won’t let you change. If things slowly become really bad; well folks have survived really bad before — except when they didn’t.
If you are too tough to care, if your future is beyond considering, if buying any type of insurance policy is a waste of time:
Your newscast is on.
