Thanks for your good work.

Enjoy the Pacific paradise, wherever it is!

Good, specific information on moving gold and storing it offshore. Given your proclivity for Panama, I am wondering why this is not a country you include. Why not have a bank account, gold repository, and an interactive broker all in Panama? And while we are at it, what is Panama’s current stance on banking privacy?

Best,

Scott

My name is Martin Vaughn. First off, I seriously enjoy details of your travels and adventures. I left the US in 2001 and spent the next eight years in Argentina, Malaysia, Thailand, HK, Philippines, China, and New Zealand. After eight years out, I have just returned to the US for a year of contract work; thinking I might buy some land in the countryside and take it simple for a few decades (growing foods and counting my gold each night, laugh). Frankly, from the moment I hit the LA airport on my way to Atlanta, it was severely apparent that I just don’t belong here, cannot live here whatsoever… Felt like a foreigner in a strange land (compared to how comfortable I feel in all of the countries listed above). At this point, I am beginning the considerations in regards to Uruguayan residency vs malaysian 10 year visa vs philippine residency. All are very easy to do, costs not too extreme (nil for uruguayan). Leaning towards Uruguay as it comes with a passport route down the road a few years whereas the other two do not. Ah, hope to hear more from you on the south Pacific island opportunity you hinted at yesterday… I think the only thing I miss outside of the US is being able to build a nice gun collection, being a serious believer in personal safety and security… Anyway, thanks sincerely for including us in your thoughts and travels. It is an encouragement, a validation, and an opportunity.

Though I know you are quite busy with travels at this time, I would like to leave a request with you. If you could put this on the backburner and consider it when you have more adequate time, I believe it would seriously benefit more of your readers than just myself. I read your report on gold transport and storage, and would ask you to take it a step further. Would you please let us know if you personally, or any of your contacts, could discover a non-US broker/futures exchange where we would be able to conduct metals futures trading without the requirement of being cash settled(ie., the opportunity to actually deliver the bar into your physical possession). As detailed below, I sell put options (a few a year, particularly when volatility is high for optimal options pricing) on gold and silver futures. When the options finish ITM, my account pays for the bars and broker accepts the warehouse depository receipt(WDR), specifying the exact bar serial numbers, into my account. Sometimes I take delivery, other times I sell calls against the WDR to generate additional income on the metals. So I trade commodities futures and invest in a number of CTA programs in the US, and I , on occasion, taken delivery of metals from comex storage though I more often sell calls against the metals to generate additional income. I have tried to find a broker, internationally, who has relationships with an overseas metals exchange allowing delivery (Swiss, Dubai, maybe HK, and a few others if I recall correctly), and can accomodate this same investment strategy. But seem unable to find a broker or private banking relationship with a group who has the capabilities to support this.

i.e.:

1) Sell put contracts on gold and silver futures
2) If the put contract is in-the-money at expiration, broker receives the warehouse depository receipt; else keep put commission and try again
3) Sell calls against the bullion that your warehouse delivery receipt covers; or arrange physical delivery to my overseas bank in that same jurisdiction.

I have searched, but have been unable to find information on this outside of the US. Within the US, I have used this strategy quite successfully. There must be a broker or private bank investment service who can handle this in the international arena. But as of yet, I have been unable to find!

Thanks again Simon. Sorry to trouble you. I figure that amongst your readers you might have a number of others who would like to accumulate more international bullion holdings (and allocate part of the holdings to generation of income to fund additional bullion holdings as well) in a more efficient manner than paying premium price from a bullions dealer. The futures exchange is the lowest cost manner and also provides opportunity for income through options commissions on both side of the trade.

Note: I use MFGlobal as the futures broker handlind delivery in US and Interactive Brokers for my equities investments.

Best regards,
Martin

Checking on the internet i found NO address for ADIB in Dubai.
Is it possible to give it IF you have it?

Thanks!
Taki

Are you ever available for a consult? I have several business related questions I would like to review.

The South Pacific sounds fine to me. Thanks.

DG

P.s. The link does work. All it takes is but a bit of ingenuity.

Where in SoPac? Eager to hear more about opportunities there, wherever “there” is.

Give my regards to the Merlion. Hope to be seeing it soon myself. Eagerly awaiting your updates on good old Singa-bore, KL, et al.

My guess —Vanuatu!

Have read your latest missive with some interest as I live and invest in the South Pacific. Namely the nation of Vanuatu. I don’t think this is where you are writing from as some of the things you mentioned are somewhat inconsistent with what is happening here at the moment.

However if you do drop in to check things out when next you are in this neck of the woods please allow me the opportunity to show you around and buy you a frosty beverage or two.

Cheers,

Dave

The link to “How to move and securely store gold overseas,” does not seem to be working.

By the way, what do you think is the current size of your readership?

Take care and try not to get too spoiled,

Pete

Yours, Angus

Can it be repaired?

Best, RJ

Could you please make this article available?

Awaiting your help,
most sincerely,
Jusina

I want to take this opportunity to let you know that I was one of the lucky ones to obtain your “Black Papers” on Panama. I’ve read it once and now I’m going to digest it and sort it out based on my particular needs. I know it will be very helpful and I want to thank you again for taking the initiative and the time to produce it. Great work!

PS, your letter is short and fun and one of the first I read about 5AM (3AM in N.Y.) after checking the gold and silver prices on Casey Research plus the Dow and S&P 500.

Please be so kind as to republish a correct link.

with baited breath,

The link you gave in today’s missive for the Storing Gold report, pointed to the old intlman.com website, and it wasn’t found. I simply changed it to point to your new website sovereignman.com and there it was! The correct URL is http://www.sovereignman.com/Move%20and%20store%20gold%20overseas.pdf

As to the contents of the book, looks great — although I haven’t read completely thru it yet! A couple of other spots besides Vienna and Dubai would be useful for storage locations recommendations, esp. S.America, Panama, Asia.

Thanks,
Jim.

P.S. Enjoy your newsletter; thanks.

Re. Storing gold overseas report

This message is to let you know that I could not access your free report. After registering, I received the return e-mail asking me to download the free document (not to confirm my e-mail address) but the document once again could not be accessed. I trust you’re having a good time on the undisclosed island and I hope the native women are “hospitable” and good looking.

Thank you.

Have fun in Singapore I was there a couple of weeks ago. Hope you can share the island story soon. I’ve a friend that is trying to close a deal on Tonga for a new resort area.
Cheers, Mike
