Thanks for the feedback. From your ID it sounds like you've already made exactly the same transition yourself.

I've been doing business with Argentina for many, many years, and have enjoyed working with those folks (although I've never actually visited the country). Originally I was thinking of feathering a nest there, but they have become too socialist (might as well stay in the US as go there).

But Panama has always looked interesting, and continues to.

I've made more radical steps in my day, and have never regretted the ones that were well thought-out. :)

BTW, last week I bought the Internet domain names 'onefootout.com', 'onefootout.net' and 'onefootout.org' in anticipation (can you believe those three were available at $15 each?!?! :O ) My thought is that I might also serve as a conduit for others who are interested in having "one foot out" of socialism.

"one foot out" of socialism

Priceless!  fwiw, SAJ may have more up to date info about visas etc.  Personally I favor Chiriqui Provance but to each his own.

Are you living in Panama now? (And if so, for how long?)

[dennisw]

I’m not doing much now but I like SLW and SAND (Sandstorm) due to their unique business models.

Panama has huge banking sector. Has lots of potential and big retiree place these days. Seems stable and sane compared to many Latin American nations. It would be one of my top south-of-the-border picks

Both gold and both up nicely today. Will have to research them. Am gun shy on gold since I finally sold one at a loss, glad I did. Thanks! My copper mining stock is up nicely this morning, hope it holds.

The market seems jittery but is roaring along. Worst I've seen yet this am is JCP is getting demolished again. They just ousted Ron can't think of last name, the apple guy.

Back to watching and researching.

Yes, all of those job holders have been making large salary demands since QE started. They have true inflation over there - caused by food/energy prices and perpetuated by rising incomes. The Bernanke has been in holding their feet to the fire to revalue. Payback may well be a b!tch.

My favorite Wall Street quote..... “Being early is the same as being wrong.” I've been wrong lately.

Precious metal buyers might think:

Being Late Means Never Arriving
   or
Being Late Means Being Dead

   I've bought & sold some USLV (tricky), but I think I'd like to have some 10 oz silver bars and a bunch of freeze-dried food just in case things get crazy.
