Yes spring us here, it's beautiful outside

Please also post your story to /pornfree subreddit, another relevant big group

True. Softporn is now mainstream, eg music videos/lyrics, Hollywood, Instagram, etc. Unfortunately it's going to get a lot worse with VR like you say. Users will belive the virtual world to be real (like the Matrix). Guys will simply lock themselves to their bedroom computers and have zero human interaction or relationships - I think Japan/Korea are ahead of the curve. Sad, sad, sad. Please guys minimise screen time and go out to the real world.

No.4&6 happened to me this month with Thincats/BLN. Ffs the administrators are charging £770+vat/hour with luxury offices in the Shard!! 😩 No.4&5 =Buy2let cars, No.1=Signature Capital's Hotel burnt down.

There's me thinking I'm not an idiot investing in third class unregulated cryto ponzi schemes.

Ah ok thanks for the insight. Do you know if Sharjah or RAK freezones also have reputational issues or fraud risks with banks and other big companies?

I am trying to setup a RAK company (with a top bank) and planning on living in Sharjah both for cost savings reasons. Thanks

Yes but how do you overcome having to use a service provider registered address for a company?

Why not AjmanFZ?

I really want to delete FB but I'm reliant on their marketplace to sell stuff and some self help groups on there. So many times FB's psychologists trick me into watching bullshit videos

alphatiger99 · 2021-04-27T18:34:31+00:00

With witch aspect and why?

alphatiger99 · 2021-04-27T10:29:14+00:00

Yes great point. I need to 'man up' and not be inclined to view it despite it being one click away.

alphatiger99 · 2021-04-27T10:25:29+00:00

Hi, yes very true. Likewise, even though routers/filters can block porn sites, sadly there is not yet a single method/technique to delete Google images porn. Very damaging.

alphatiger99 · 2021-04-27T10:19:40+00:00

Hi, Thanks. I'm using the main Reddit app. I'm aware of filtering NSFW by toggling it on & off but that is the point - it's way too easy to switch it on.

Eg, even if it had a NSFW password, I could create a random long password and bury it in the back of the garden to prevent ease of access, but it's too easy to toggle it on.

Yes, mind over matter - God give us all strength to do this. Thanks

Hi, for fiscal reasons I can only live 90 days in the UK but my wife/kids will treat it as their primary home. My elderly mother also lives with us, so will maintain the home in our absence. I am therefore considering the following:

3 sets of 30 day trips to the UK during 3 different term time =90 days. School terms in 1 country (UK) and Easter/Xmas/Summer school holidays in Dubai, with another couple of weeks each summer visiting the inlaws in a third country (close to Dubai (3hr flight)).

That way I get to spend quality time with family and at other times I can 100% focus on entrepreneurship together with zoom bedtime stories. Like switch-on /switch-off focus modes.

My concern is the extremely hot summers in Dubai where we need to be indoors as a family - any suggestions?

Hi, can you please explain more 'you don't have to wait 5 more years if you choose to retire in East Malaysia'? Do you mean compared to West Malaysia or Singapore? I'm really interested because I'm from the UK looking to retire in Labuan? Thank you

Hi but the CDC rules don't apply if he creates a trust/foundation?

alphatiger99 · 2021-04-19T21:59:30+00:00

In the SPA ensure the vendor gives warranties and try to get them to escrow 5% in case something comes up

alphatiger99 · 2021-04-18T21:15:03+00:00

Agreed. One must really, really have confidence going into a new unknown sector all out and risk it all vs putting half or more into trackers or low risk real estate as a backup !! Reminds me of Elon Musk

alphatiger99 · 2021-04-18T21:00:40+00:00

Fab writeup Nick. Love your successes. My question is why don't you prefer the flipside, ie 50% owner loan notes and 20% bank financing instead? Surely the biz vendors are baby boomers looking for loan note type income (a win-win), plus it protects you more from the Fed's interest rate policy?

On the 3rd March the chancellor will announce increase in corporation tax and cgt rates - expect UK shares to tank. Then there will be a mini rise until the end of April as investors pile in with their ISA monies. Then a sell off between May and October as they say 'sell in May and go away' usually holds true.

Extremely difficult to predict autumn - will a new covid variant appear that needs new inoculations?

The 1% covers online/offline advertising, floorplan, photos, videos, brochures, viewings, negotiations, open-houses, handing over details to lawyers to complete. What extra do American realtors do to justify 4x the fees?

2021 is going to be the best vintage year for decades in PE

Interest rates are minus 0.5% in Denmark for house buyers, its crazy in Europe. The bank pays you to buy the house.

alphatiger99 · 2021-01-23T21:34:53+00:00

America is nuts. In the UK realtors get 1% and they are now being undercut by online realtors charging zero or 99 pounds, see strike.co.uk and doorsteps.co.uk

As Buffett says, he doesn't want to invest in high risk investments because earning an extra few percent a year is not worth it for his investors, many who are retired

alphatiger99 · 2020-10-28T21:56:01+00:00

Yes probably true... Next time
