The place is Bali. I bought sprawling ocean villa (200 m from) on 1.5 acre land where I can see sunrise and sunset. I have once a month a barbeque party with my buddy investors. On business I flight to Singapore and back again to my bali.....This is the real proven to live for.
Glad somebodies say that, hope you enjoy Bali as I do

after that tsunami im scared shitless to visit those places bali ,thailand and sumatra
Quoting kundrit
There is no tsunami in Bali down to the past 500 years (see the map) it well protected by java island to the west and many islands to the east (basicaly I don't want to let you know this heaven not to be overly crowded..please don't come).
You explain it quite clear sir, the part that i don't agree is "please don't come"
I personally would say, please come, see it for your self

Quoting dragan53
if theres no tsunami in bali where did those 100 000 people die?another town?

i reckon that the tsunami wasnt natural,it was man made using tesla technology.its the weapon of the future
The last biggest tsunami is happen in Indonesia was in Aceh. It's around 3 days by car and 4-6 hour by flight. The tsunami affect isn't reach Bali, only the sadness does.

1 - Great weather and scenery (preferably tropical or mountains) - YES
2 - Inexpensive living - best bang for the buck etc. - YES
3 - Good schools (for our kids) - DEPENDS ON THE STANDARD
4 - Safe for Americans / foreigners etc. - As far as i remember YES
5 - English is prevalent thus making it easy to get around (if outside of the US) - YES
6 - Low crime - As far as i remember YES
7 - Hight speed internet available (this is a MUST) - Depend on "High speed" terminology , you can have 3.1 Mbps with unlimited bandwidth around $35. Is that fast enough?
8 - ....anything else you can think of. About Bali, anything you want to ask, i will happily give you an answer

wait, is this a comment on the hours, or on Perth? I have also thought Perth would be a nice place to spend a winter trading vacation....
it was about hours.
About, Perth, I don't have enough info to comment on.

Why not warmer part of US itself?

If Time zone is not an issue
Singapore,
- Safe ( however in case of natural disaster it is just a tiny island and terrorism has not struck yet but has in surrounding countries )
- English speaking
- expensive real estate ( other leaving expenses are low)
- Low tax

NZ
- Safe (except earth quakes)
- English speaking
- Time zone could be a problem
- Tax? and higher cost of leaving

No tax, Modern etc
Low cost of leaving except real estate
Safe for Americans/// so far yes

Everyone really seems to be talking about the best place to *live* rather than the best place from which to *trade*.

Being on the East Coast US, I really envy the folks in London. To trade the very volatile London hours from here I'd have to start trading at 2AM. Not insurmountable, but a lifestyle change for sure.

I'd consider moving to the GMT longitude somewhere. I assume that includes places nicer than London like Scotland and Ireland. Well nicer for me anyway; I have ancestors from Ireland.

Trading time wise, GMT sounds almost ideal.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Yeah, but it's legal to do animals, I think

...so i am contemplating moving but unsure of where to. The ideal place needs to offer the following:

1 - Great weather and scenery (preferably tropical or mountains)
2 - Inexpensive living - best bang for the buck etc.
3 - Good schools (for our kids)
4 - Safe for Americans / foreigners etc.
5 - English is prevalent thus making it easy to get around (if outside of the US)
6 - Low crime
7 - Hight speed internet available (this is a MUST)
8 - ....anything else you can think of.

Right now I am looking into Phuket Thailand but looking for input...
I'm in Japan. #'s 2 & 5...no. The rest OK. I know a guy who's a full-time commodities trader from Florida.　He and his wife moved to Panama after Katrina made their house into a pancake. He claims it's paradise. Large American expat presense.

Yeah!!

Scotland, England, Ireland, The USA, Canada, most of Europe etc- are going to be raising taxes...they are so in debt, they can hardly make the interest payments.

A country that has no income taxes and little debt however, already knows how to survive...without having to take it from the "well off" forex traders, who ruined the World Economy through their reckless speculations

If you can't see the "Writing on the Wall"

Having lived in Malta for half a year - definitely Malta for all the points on the list. Left a very good aftertaste in the mouth. Lovely and kind people (not many countries can boast of simple kindness of their citizens these days), dry and sunny climate, yet not too hot or too cold, strategic location, packed with history, yet swimmable (rocky + sandy beaches abound), territorial taxation system, lots of activities, kids go to school from 3, lots of facilities.

Has abit of an oldish look and feel to it but it definitely has a charm. Infrastructure is not Germany but noone will be chasing you for taxes or smth else. Gives you a feeling of peace. Piece of cake to get residence on self-sufficient grounds if you're a European passport holder.

4 months ago I moved to Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) and I would say it's a great place to live an trade.

1.-Excelent weather (15ºC lows in winter, 30ºC highs in summer)
2.-Low crime, good health, transportation, education, etc. Probably not like the top european countries, but way better than Latin America and many other regions.
3.- GMT Time zone
4.-No problem getting high speed internet, cell phones, etc.
5.-Beautiful scenery (sea, mountains, desert, beaches, forest) Whatever you like, you can find it.
6.-Great people, very kind and very used to foreigners (lots of english and german in retirement here)
7.-Probably the lowest cost of living among the european union


If you come from a big city (like i do) you might find the pace a little slow, but you'll get used to it.

Has the financial crisis in Spain not hit that area? How would a failure in the US dollar affect these parts? Note sure if you knew but I figured I would give it a try.
