    Why do you suppose Biden’s approval rating has gone down?
  2. Isaan sailor
    That would depend on where those capital gains and dividends came from. In the US, money in a Roth IRA came from after tax investments. And money in a traditional IRA is tax deferred—Uncle Sam will assess the tax—not Thailand. The long arm of the IRS reaches American expats. If they tax us—they need to protect us from double taxation.

    Better naturalise those millions of illegals now, And no wonder they want the most recent arrivals to remain in Texas.

    My Ranger will smile. And most days there’s something or someone riding in the bed.

    Not sophisticated enough to short stocks, or buy on margin. I just try to buy low and hold forever, with selective selling. Good luck!
  6. Isaan sailor
    Thank you. I still buy and sell stocks, although more selling than buying. I like it when stocks go up.

    Not sure about the Virgin Islands, but I’ve done pretty good with stocks. Does that make me rich by your calculations?

    Brinkmanship hurts everyone. But so does overspending.

    Sorry my sarcasm failed you. When I said plummeted up—it was just a play on the headline. Yes the Baht rose today.
  10. Isaan sailor
    Today, the Baht plummeted up. So much for that taxation panic.

    I took my Thai wife to CA just before the Wuhan flu. Even then, we saw homelessness in SF, brownouts in the Tahoe area, and a dry waterfall in Yosemite. But Sonoma/Napa, Carmel/Big Sur and Hollywood did not disappoint. Have a wonderful trip.

    Help processing aliens? I don’t think it will deter millions more from crossing the southern border.

    Get rid of bribery with those brown envelopes—it’s a start.

    Now looks like two factors could drive out expats from LoS: An extended period of Baht inflation, and/or a taxation of our pensions, dividends, interest and cap gains brought into Thailand.

    Hate America much?

    I file jointly taxes every year to the IRS. I even pay Estimated Quarterly taxes when appropriate. As a retiree, I don’t normally owe much if anything. In return, I collect Social Security. No way I would give it up for Thai citizenship.

    He should do time for his part inciting protesters. Months in prison—not a misdemeanor. That’s my point.
  18. Isaan sailor
    What about purchases made from our western bank credit cards, i.e. Visa/Mastercard? How could they see and then tax those purchases?
  19. Isaan sailor
    Interesting point. If we bail on Thailand for tax purposes 180 days , could we send our gains to wives/girlfriends here in Thailand to avoid taxation? So many questions—so little time.
  20. Isaan sailor
    We shall see how strong those tax treaties really are. It’s their country, and they can do as they please.
  21. Isaan sailor
    A misdemeanor? Did you see the video?
  22. Isaan sailor
    The good news—your currencies up with the panic. The bad news—no one has a clue.
  23. Isaan sailor
    No way Uncle Sam will give up their tax reach and control of American expats in Thailand. A quick look at the Tax Treaty of 1996, Article 10 makes the distinction between dividends earned in the US vs. dividends earned in Thailand.
  24. Isaan sailor
    Looks like a little panic has set in. Western currencies have jumped up. Could high rollers be pulling Baht out of banks?
  25. Isaan sailor
    Well said. Should have an age limit for any Presidential candidate. I suggest 65, with no exceptions. They adhere to this in some corporations We don’t need cognitive decline in the White House.
