For sure it's best not to put all your golden eggs in one basket. Using the anonymous vault in Vienna I mentioned above, not even the vault knows your name.

Here's a couple of good podcasts on the situation in Afghanistan: https://www.economist.com/podcasts/...een-an-absolute-catastrophe-afghanistan-falls https://www.economist.com/podcasts/...what-legacy-does-america-leave-in-afghanistan

What Perth Mint did is something serious; if all their clients with allocated and non-allocated gold/silver had wanted their metal on the 30/6/2020, the Mint would have been short of gold/silver or cash by $A90M. They have since sold the ETF they owned so maybe they have corrected this; we will...

There are anonymous vaults in Vienna; not cheap though. Otherwise buy gold and store yourself.

That video above gives a good idea what was going on in Afghanistan.

Anyone who had seen "This Is What Winning Looks Like" on youtube would not have been surprised in the slightest that the Afgan army would collapse like a house of cards once the Americans had gone. This face says it all: Wonder if he's now in Dubai or Cyprus?

From what I understand a NHR can spend a few months outside of Portugal each year without losing their NHR status. If during this period outside of Portugal you do day trading would that be classed as Portuguese income?

It's being reported he took $169M with him.

Being a landlord in Taliban ruled Kabul might actually be okay...I wonder under Sharia law what happens to a tenant that doesn't pay rent???

Off topic, but what are the chances the Taliban will offer some sort of zero-tax on everything tax residency regime that's crypo friendly, easy banking, easy to form a company, full secrecy, etc. etc....the type of place we're all desperately searching for? Fantasy land stuff I know but if it...

Thanks. I've seen those videos. I'm waiting for Perth Mint's latest financial report...it should be out soon.

I agree with maxmmm, going to a corrupt country where you don't know the language or how things work is a huge risk.

Very good point; Western Europe and some US states are very pro-tenant; have a tenant in the Netherlands lose their job and not be able to pay the rent? Good luck in getting them out. In the state of AR, which I mentioned above; there is no legal obligation for the premises to be habitable. Also...

"Afghanistan president Ashraf Ghani left capital Kabul on Sunday with four cars and a helicopter full of cash, news agency Reuters reported. It quoted Russian news agency RIA to report that Ghani had to leave some money behind as it would not all "fit in". "Four cars were full of money, they...

The problem with these type of countries is their unstable currencies. An apartment you buy today for $100K (in local currency) could be worth less in the future in USD terms because of local currency loss in value. Don't ask me how I know this. Look what's happening in Turkey and Lebanon at the...

In the USA you buy apartments for under $100K each...but of course we are not talking about in CA, FL or NY. I know of six 2-bd apartments available in AR for $540K. Each apartment rents for around $700 a month. Note that a nonresident alien can elect under Internal Revenue Code section 871(d)...

To Australia there's no duty and no GST but gold must be at least 99.5% and silver 99.9%. To Singapore 0.5kg of gold can be hand carried in without import permission prior to arrival.

Hi Everyone, This is my first post on the forum. I have $250K; trying to decide what to do it. I don't want my money sitting in a bank being eaten by inflation, so I'm thinking of buying Perth Mint unallocated gold/silver. I think gold/silver one of the few assets at the moment that isn't way...
