Almost all people look the same....they are the descendents of people.
is that sarcastic or funny?

Or a more likely probability is that they could be descendants from the Mayans or the Aztecs. Neither of which are from Spain.
Hmmm.... makes sense.
Mayans or the Aztecs? sound a little bit "psychic" if u know what i mean. hehe

ok, this forum is about where is best to trade or where are the best women in the world?

It's all about personal taste, but i can suggest Argentinian girls, they have the latino warm blood and the European politeness. There is the place where the most southamerican indians and Europeans mixed, the rest of Latin America is not like that.

Europeans and americans use to come a lot to small cities and because the people are very nice, and the girls very beautifull and they haven't bad intentions or side-interests... again, dont go where the poverty is.

It is now a very beautifull mix of blood, but i am not prud if it, it means that since the americas where discovered, argentina is the place where most indians were killed, and it last happened 200 years ago.

I would like to get back to the original topics of this thread. I have two topics so I will split them up. First one is on where to live on a temporary basis for trading. I live in California, one of the worst time zones on the planet, and have dreamed of living in different parts of the world part time just to trade. The European time zone is the best as we all know. I was thinking of Ireland or Netherlands. My dream situation would be:
Getting by speaking english.
Cheap hotels with free internet access
Affordable food
Good public transportation

I want to be holed up in the room for 10 hours a day trading. This would be strictly business during the week and something to do on the weekend. I would probably stay for 4-6 weeks at a time. Make a lot of cash and then go home. Any comments or other suggestions would be welcomed.

The best thing to do if u live in Argentina is to have a bank account only for transferring not big amounts of money for your basic spending there, every few years, there are crisis declared by the government, and they dont give your money during several months, my mother, for example, has an account in brazil, so, your main account and your broker have to be somewhere else in the world, and u dont need any accountant, because u dont work there and u dont have any phisical business there, and nobody asks u where are you transferring your money from.

Now for the second part. I have been teaching middle income families in California about money for 18 years, and have to smile when I read the posts on this thread about taxes. When I got started, I didn't know anything about money or business, but after realizing this, I proceeded to read tons of books. When I would have clients complain about money or taxes, I would ask them one question: How many books have you read about how to better your situation? Of course the answer is none.
When I hear forex traders talk about high taxes (I am only speaking for US traders), I realize that you haven't done your homework. Currently, I only pay a maximum federal tax rate of 24% legally. This is one of the best reasons for trading forex. How do I do it? I trade as a business, not an investor, with a partnership business agreement. Did you know that the taxes on profits are 60% based on capital gains rate (15%) and 40% on ordinary income. That means if I made $200k, I would only pay $48k in federal taxes? That is fantastic. Now for those Americans out there in forex land who voted "for change" , you Obamatons voted to have the capital gains tax potentially raised to 25 or 30%. Next did you know that you could trade inside of a Roth IRA. You young ones don't care, but those of us out here over 50, this is the #1 reason to trade forex. I will be able to build my roth ira now, and then when I am an excellent trader, be able to trade tinside the roth and all the income will be tax free. So 10 years from now, I can live anywhere in the world, trade, and pay no federal or state taxes TAX FREE legally. Last, but not least, I smile when I hear complaints about money. What do you think the rich think about taxes? The answers are easy: set up businesses to lower taxes and make more money. The solution is always to make more money, not think about lack of money.

Hi pip pirate2,

How about Amsterdam? That's a fun town. Not cheap to live there, but if you just want to rent a room or a small flat its probably not much different than SF or other CA cities.

Hey, I would love to pick your brain about taxes, if you have the time - would you visit my thread:

Pip Pirate,

Anywhere in Europe would work as far as time zones, nice places to stay, great internet connection and something to do in the evenings and weekends.

You could also do Bangkok. Great hotels, steady internet connection and the time zone is GMT 6+. You could start trading at noon and be done by 10. It's great if you're not a morning person.

It's much cheaper than Europe, and if you're flying from CA, probably the same distance as to Europe. Also, the weather is consistent year round, more like CA than Europe would be, and the nightlife is much, much better.

hi pip pirate 2,

how does no capital gains tax sound? the rich has an army of accountants working 4 them. finding loopholes n trying every trick in the book 2 help lower the tax they pay.

i read some where, that in the u.s. the rich pay the bulk of the taxes. if this is the case, why bother to have so many indirect taxes?? so that the poor n the masses that r not rich. also can't escape from the fate of paying taxes??

hi,

london is a no, no. the exchange rate is too high 4 people considering moving there. u don't get the bang 4 your buck!! londoners r flying 2 the u.s to shop. in order 2 take advantage of the exchange rate.

uk is also in deep shit like the u.s. it's also cracking down on people who keep assets offshore. or have dubious assets that they can't prove.

thanks for everyone's feedback. England would be my #1 choice, but I was there in 2002 and it was expensive to live. I would have to find cheap food, lodging, and public transportation to make it work, and the north would be fine. After a few successful times of making money, then I make it there in England.

Dopey: I am too old and married for Bangkok.

Winningfx: It is true that the rich pay all the taxes in the US. Out of 305 million people, 88% of the population only pays 26% of the federal income tax. 40% of the population pays no taxes at all, and receives most of the "free" services. Remember this: If you ever want to be rich, you must first bless rich people and think good thoughts about them. Most rich people are generous with their money and give a lot to charity. The US gives more to charity and foreign aid than the rest of the world combined. Many people around here will benefit when I am rich, as I will hire them.

Very true. Ireland is very expensive. Inflation is high due to an over-heated economy (around 14% probably when you factor in that it is an island).

hi pip pirate 2,

i am not against the rich. my reply was just in reference to your earlier posts. regarding taxes and how the rich handles taxes. u cannot say " free " services, when there r so many indirect taxes around.

also, i way 4 people 2 keep more money 4 themselves. is to lower the taxes they pay!!! that's why the rich set up companies and incs and llcs. to achieve the above mentioned purpose and lower the risks of a lawsuits. many of the rich own nothing under their names.

inflation is low and the cost of living is falling and you can avoid paying tax by opening up a spread betting account.

If it would be Europe, I would recommend my country - Bulgaria for a few simple reasons:
1/ Pro-American government - easy to get Vissa
2/ Member of the EU already
3/ Large English-speaking comunities
4/ nice climate, variety of places to relax - both mountine and sea resorts
5/ tax paradise - forex or any other financial instrument income is zero-rate charged

As to crime... well, compared to the US Europe is a totally different situation.
There are disadvantages ofcourse... will tell you some other time in case someone's realy interested
