Great points, I’ve been looking into the Perth Mint,
I’d like to hear from anyone that has made transactions with them.
They say they are insured by Lloyd’s of London.
And is it really fraction banking or do they just pick-up some more gold to store for me?

My question to you is if the USD collapses, What would the outcome be to countries like Panama, Ecuador, Belize, etc…, That base their monetary system on the USD?

I’ve been reading this sort of doom-and-gloom stuff for over 20 years now and nothing’s happened. I read about it during every recession and the country always recovers. Survivalists, religious zealots, and every other crackpot on earth keep telling us again and again that the sky is falling, yet it always stays up.

On and on it goes like a broken record that can’t be turned off: “Head for the hills!” I don’t think so. I’m staying right where I am, and you should, too. We’ll have a lot more room, and more opportunity, after all the scaredy-cats are gone.

I am a bit confused by the suggestion that the province of Hainan in the PRC and the Philippines are good places to purchase real estate. In Hainan one can purchase an apartment and one can lease land but one cannot yet purchase land. And while both Chinese and foreigners have been speculating when the Chinese government might allow people to do that, it is just mindless speculation. Five years, ten years, who knows? The state ownership of land is the last vestige of the Communist system and the question is whether the ruling Chinese Communist Party would do that. Moreover, Hainan has a somewhat scruffy reputation in China on any kind of business dealing. And on the Philippines, you can purchase land in the Philippines if you have a Filipino wife or you very carefully set up a corporation. However, one would certainly want to be very clear headed in choosing either option.

Even diamonds and gemstones are subject to market flex, if the sky is really going to fall as much as this article has speculated that it will, the whole world is in trouble. Which brings me to my original idea, invest in beans, rice, ammo, and guns.

That does not answer his question, he already said he had an offshore IBC so he knows how it works, and he found out it is too expensive to keep as a small businessman. He wants to know ways it can possibly work for him again and be affordable and secure.

The real advantage of going offshore is asset protection. When your money is offshore, it is much more difficult for the thieves to steal it, whether they wear bandannas or pin stripe suits.

Precious metals storage plans are becoming highly suspect. There is concern the entities, despite what they say, are playing the fractional reserve game.

I recognize mining is a big deal for the Australian gov’t, but they also might be tempted to ‘go along to get along’ when it comes to the international financial crisis. Gold is an enemy of the statists and whether Australia is a statist regime or not, I let you decide, but in my view having ANY gov’t watch my gold is like having a fox in the hen house.

In the 1980 run up in gold there were a lot of storage plans that went bust because they were playing the fractional reserve game and gambling with their depositers money. When the market turned against their bets…it was game over much like the housing market.

would like to know more of the advantages you talk about. I have had an offshore IBC with foreign bank account. It seems that this mechanism is still only profitable for the super wealthy and not for small businessmen trying to survive.

What advantages do you have that I can acheieve about this.

Mark

Thanks

What about moving money to banks in Australia? My mother is from there; does that give me any better opportunity or position to do financial business down under? thanks

Bukko, have you looked into therapy yet??? There’s an awful lot of venom stored up in you. Tried yoga or classical music? Perhaps some Lithium?

Your left isn’t any better than their right. That’s a fact. Both sides are an utter mess.

That’s why the smart ones vote Libertarian; we give you gay marriage, decriminalized marijuana, pro-choice rights WITHOUT an income tax. (You see, the truth is that it costs NOTHING to socially liberated!)

And if you think banks in Panama are unstable and high risk, you really don’t get out much, sport. I would classify an Australian bank as more “dodgy” than a Panamanian bank.
