Move from Laos to Philippines for retirement?
gargamon replied to simon43's topic in Philippines Visa and Immigration
You say that as if it's a plus. San Miguel beer, especially the light variety, is horrid. There was a Manila light that was actually pretty good last time I was there. It was hard to find. I guess San Miguel marketing has locked up the market through payoffs, etc. The payoffs have expanded to Thailand where you cannot get the palatable tiger light and singha light anymore also. Plus, the SM beer gives me a headache, while the others mentioned don't. -
Move from Laos to Philippines for retirement?

Tagaytay. Can be expensive though. Easy to manila where there's the best pi hospitals and the airport. And elevated so it's cooler. -
Disco era hit song about 45 years ago or so about "America"

How nice. You get to (hopefully) make money and not pay taxes on it. What country are you doing your transactions in? Of course, if it's in a retirement account you should be able to do as many transactions as you like without paying taxes, as long as you don't take any cash out. That's what I do. The S&P500 fund is not in a retirement account. Any trades I do are within retirement accounts so this applies to me also.

Don't forget the taxes you would have to pay if you liquidated your fund to move it over. This is something many traders don't consider. My S&P 500 fund has been growing at over 10% a year since the 80's with no income tax paid yet. Taxes on the dividends, yes. Traders get taxed every time they move positions.

Only until the election in November with abortion rights being voted on. Florida turns blue and all this nonsense will go away. -

Two plead guilty to insider trading related to Trump Media merger Two men pleaded guilty on Wednesday to insider trading in securities in the company that ultimately took former U.S. President Donald Trump's media business public. Michael Shvartsman, 53, head of Miami-based venture capital firm Rocket One Capital, and his brother Gerald Shvartsman, 46, each pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud before U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan. Rocket One's chief investment officer, Bruce Garelick, is scheduled to face trial on related charges on April 29. Prosecutors charged the trio last year with illegally trading on inside information about Trump Media & Technology Group's (TMTG) (DJT.O), opens new tab plan to go public through a merger with a blank-check company. TMTG operates Truth Social, Trump's main social media platform. Prosecutors said the trio signed confidentiality agreements in June 2021 when they were approached to become early investors in Digital World Acquisition, the blank-check company. The agreements required them to keep information they learned confidential and not trade the company's securities in the open market, prosecutors said. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/investor-company-that-took-trump-media-public-pleads-guilty-insider-trading-2024-04-03/

At least with Madoff 90% of the “stolen“ funds were recovered. No chance of that with this crypto nonsense. -
Bangkok Bank Debit Card Expired
gargamon replied to expat1010's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Why would anyone need an ATM card these days? Get the app on your phone and do QR code payments almost everywhere in Thailand. Do cardless withdrawals at any of your bank's ATMs. Pay shopee or lazada with QR code. No hundreds of baht/year fee for the app either. -
