Comments on: This country can make you rich

I Put $5K into Nicks (Asia Pacific Securities) Suggestion (APP) and lost 26% in 3 weeks. Nick did not even call me to tell me that their recommendation crashed. Anyone thinking about investing in this market because they too want to be as “rich as a Mongolian” should be very cautious or they will soon be as broke as the federal reserve system. Also, people need to be very careful when they change their lives to relocate and just get up and go. Most people return to their homes (with less than they started with when they left) after the house has been built and the reality of boredom and strangeness hit’s them. Simon is a great salesman but a salesman he is – remember he is not your buddy.

Uruguay just elected a leftist gov. They are now taxing world wide income also. No thanks.

Be very careful with doing business in Mongolia. It's a culture based on Deception. I lived there 8 years and could tell you story after story. The worst thing you can do is to get into a partnership. If you want to do things above board and honestly you will be pulling your hair out. If you know how to work ropes of corruption then this is your place.

I looked up METF, there is no listing on yahoo as a ticker nor as a web search.

A solid brokerage firm is Asia Pacific Securities. I've heard there will also be some hedge fund/ etf type investment products coming to market in the near future.

Dear Simon,

Could you please give more details on Mongolia for people who actually want to relocate there?
Any reliable local contacts you can recommend?

Best regards and keep up the excellent work, Simon.

Hi All
I absolutely agreee with Simon. Mongolia is full of opportunities for the creation of wealth, enterprise and future prosperity.Never in our history, Mongolians had such vast opportunity I should know I am Mongolian. There are handful of brokerage firms Northernsec.com, Altan san securities and BD Sec and some small firms. Mongolian government just announced reform of stock exchange to improve transparency and its operations. If anyone wants to know more about specific info or about Mongolia please contact I’ll try to help as much I can. Actually lots of Mongolian young people speak 3-4 languages English,Russian and Japanese also Chinese and well educated. We are open and friendly yet dynamic hungry for success.
Kind Regards

I visited Mongolia last year and enjoyed myself very much; I have been considering a return trip. Can’t say enough about the friendliness and helpfulness of the people. I’d like to know more about investing there – brokers, the exchange, transparency, and company’s and their reporting requirements.

There is at least one investment to made in the very large copper project of Ivanhoe Mines (IVN on the NYSE). It is still a few years of production though.

I would be very, very interested in other investment opportunities.

Well, moving to Mongolia seems a desperate choice. No sea. Probably very continental weather with very cold winters and very hot summers. Also people speaking a totally non-understandable language. But I may be wrong, it may be a nice place with beautiful rivers and acceptable climate. Additional information regarding that may be interesting to have an idea.

Certainly I am not interested to move in a country just for money.

From your list Colombia and Palau seem much more acceptable.

I’d like to hear a lot more about Mongolia. Investing there, moving there, what they need, etc.

For example: Is English widely spoken?

Sounds like the right kind of opportunity! I’d love to know more, but could this work for the small investor?

Interesting article about Mongolia. But, you mention Colombia in the same article.
You ask if one would “want to hear more about investing in or moving to … Mongolia”.
As my wife is Colombian, I welcome the same question regarding that country, and yes, I’m interested in hearing more about investing in or moving to Colombia.
Thanks

Can you provide guidance on how to access Mongolia’s stock market. Which city would serve as a good base in setting up on operation to pursue the many opportunities present in the country.

Gracias

Hi Simon:

Pretty new to your newsletter, and I have really enjoyed it. Christine is someone you need to get specifics from…she needs her own newsletter ASAP. An ETF will be “too late” in Mongolia…OK…so let’s get her to give us the goods! I’m sure your readers will pay a Premium for it, as I will, if you’re able to pull it off. But run, don’t walk!

Keep it up Simon

Dear Sir,

I would very much like to learn more about investing in Mongolia. While it may not possible to make specific recommendations, would it be possible to recommend a source (e.g. website, newsletter, etc.)? I think Google finance allows users to list some or perhaps all of the issues traded on the Mongolia exchange. Maybe the Mongolian exchange has a website?

Any information or ideas you could pass along would be most welcome. Thank you again for your continued e-mails. You provide excellent information and insight.

Best regards,
Nick

It’s fairly transparent for foreign investors to get in to this market– which is exactly what I am doing right now
Really? How does a Canadian go about investing in stocks on the Mongol Exchange? Or researching them for that matter?

I also like Mongolia because it piggy-backs on China while possibly remaining somewhat shielded from the impending social upheaval there.

this sounds extremely interesting please keep Mongolia in the loop of your dispatches…opportunities to get in on the ground floor of a country mass exporting to two possibly three of the BRIC countries!!

More info on Mongolia would be very interesting. I’m also interested in your take on Ecuador as a place to visit/buy property as we are planning a trip there later this year. Thanks

Hi Simon,
always love to read your blog. I’ve been to mongolia sometime ago. and thought as well that the combination of low population and hugh natural resources is a opportunity as well.

can you or Christine comment on possible brokerage firmes in Mongolia.
I’ve seen there are some companies listed at the MongolStockExchange – any companies/area to be aware of or one you think might provide a good bet to participate on such a countries future e.g. bargains.

There has been some intransparency recently – e.g. the IPO and take over of Anod Bank by the government under some dubious circumstances.

keep your interesting work going. i’ve been on the road for the last 2 years as well…
greetings from europe
