http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/17/business/world-rich-list-singapore/index.html?iid=article_sidebar World rich list shows emerging Asian Century By Kevin Voigt, CNNupdated 2:23 AM EDT, Fri August 17, 2012A new survey projects that Singapore will - by a wide margin - be home to the wealthiest citizens in 2050 with per capita income estimated at $137,710.HIDE CAPTIONWorld's richest 2050 - Singapore << < 1 2 3 4 5 > >> STORY HIGHLIGHTS Asia set to have the world's wealthiest residents, with city-state Singapore heading the rich list Knight Frank-Citi report predicts the top four wealthiest regions will be in Asia by 2050 Japan and several European economies are predicted to grow the least in the next 40 years Report: Seven of the world's top 10 fastest growing economies will be in Asia Hong Kong (CNN) -- Asia is set to have the world's wealthiest residents, with city-state Singapore heading the rich list. Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea will do well, too, according to by a new survey that predicts which countries will be home to the wealthiest citizens by 2050. By one measure, they are already are. Singapore's per capita income is estimated by Knight Frank and Citi Private Wealth's 2012 Wealth Report to be the highest in the world at $56,532 in 2010, measured by purchasing power parity. Norway follows at $51,226, then the U.S. ($45,511), Hong Kong ($45,301) and Switzerland ($42,470). (The International Monetary Fund listed Singapore 3rd in the world in 2010-11 by per capita GDP, behind Qatar and Luxembourg, which weren't included in the Knight Frank report). By 2050, the Wealth Report estimates the world's wealthy citizens will be dominated by Asia: Singapore ($137,710), Hong Kong ($116,639), Taiwan ($114,093) and South Korea ($107,752). The only western economy projected to remain in the top five is the U.S., with an estimated per capita income of $100,802. Danny Quah of the London School of Economics predicts that by 2050, the world's economic center of gravity will be somewhere between India and China, the report notes. In 1980, the global economic center lay in the middle of the Atlantic. Some of the world's super-rich have already crossed the Pacific. Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, a native of Brazil, moved to Singapore in 2009 has since renounced his U.S. citizenship. Jim Rogers, the co-founder of the Quantum Fund with George Soros, also moved to the former British colony in 2007. <a name="em1" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">Rogers: It's easier to get rich in Asia"I have moved -- I have sold my house in New York. I have moved to Asia and my girls speak Mandarin, speak perfect Mandarin ... I'm preparing them for the 21st century by knowing Asia and by speaking perfect Mandarin," Rogers told CNN recently. "It's easier to get rich in Asia than it is in America now. The wind is in your face. (The U.S.) is the largest debtornation in the history of the world," Rogers added. "The largest creditor nations in the world are China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore. The assets are in Asia. You know who the debtors are and where they are. Look at Greece. Look at Spain. I mean, I don't like saying this. You know, I'm an American, too. But facts are facts." The report's list of fastest growing economies between 2010 and 2050 also gives more credence that the world's wealth is moving toward Asia. Of the top 10 fastest rising economies -- Nigeria, India, Iraq, Bangladesh, Vietnam, the Philippines, Mongolia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Egypt, respectively -- all but three are in the region. Old World economies will have the worst growth performance in the next 40 years, the report predicts: Spain, France, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany are at the bottom of the list. But Japan and its aging population will have the weakest projected growth of all economies, Knight Frank estimates. However, just because the denizens of Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are projected to live in the world's wealthiest regions doesn't mean all will share in the wealth. In the report Tina Fordham, Senior Global Political Analyst at Citi, warns that the dissatisfaction with income inequality shown in the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations "will gain momentum, and that there could be a long-term recalibration between governments, businesses and society as a result." On Monday, a court ordered the protesters of Occupy Central in Hong Kong, one of the last outposts of the global protests sparked by Occupy Wall Street, to give up its encampment at HSBC's headquarters in the city.

The IRS is Going for the Gold By Bob Bauman JD, Offshore and Asset Protection Editor Dear Americans I am a proud Marylander from the Eastern Shore, and like many Marylanders, I have been following closely Michael Phelps’s impressive performance at the London Olympic Games. Phelps is a native of Baltimore, and I’ve been eager to watch him rack up many more medals in what he’s said will be his final Olympic Games. As I cheered him on at home, Michael went on to claim three silver medals and one gold, making him the most decorated Olympian on record. He didn’t stop there, and by the time of his final race, he had three more golds. When Michael returns to Baltimore, he will be met with cheering crowds, plenty of confetti and free access to the Inner Harbor, the National Aquarium and the entire Chesapeake Bay, if he’s in the mood to take another swim. He will also have some unwanted bureaucrats waiting for him… agents of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Advertisement The Safest Way to Benefit from Emerging Market Growth As the U.S. economy sags and the dollar faces a grim future, emerging markets around the world are booming. New consumers with money to spend are driving incredible growth. For a simple, safe way to take your money out of the U.S. dollar and take advantage of these stronger markets, we’ve secured exclusive access for our Sovereign Investor readers to EverBank’s MarketSafe Emerging Market CD. To be one of the first to take advantage of this incredible opportunity, click here to join the priority access list. Tax the Gold, Silver and Bronze It seems the U.S. Internal Revenue Service has its greedy eyes on every winning American athlete in London. That’s because a gold medal, worth about $650 at current gold prices, could cost athletes about $236 in taxes. While a bronze medal, which is worth $5, could only cost an athlete $2 in taxes. As of this morning, U.S. athletes have won 30 gold, 19 silver and 22 bronze medals, for a total of 71, just behind China with 74 and ahead of the host United Kingdom with 48. The real bite, however, is not medals, but the taxes to be taken out of Olympians' cash bonuses. The U.S. Olympic Organizing Committee awards 2012 U.S. champions $25,000 for a gold medal, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bringing home a bronze. For example, Allison Schmitt swam a sizzling final leg to lead the U.S. to a gold medal in the 4x200 freestyle relay. Congratulations, Allison. You now owe the IRS $26,679. Michael Phelps, with his stunning performance, owes somewhere in the range of $45,000 for his 2012 victories. At a 35% income tax rate, for each medal, bronze medalists will owe the IRS a total of $3,500, silver medalists will owe $5,250 and top finishers will be liable for $8,750, according to calculations by Americans for Tax Reform. Rubio’s Reform U.S. athletes are effectively being punished for their success, argues Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who introduced a bill earlier this week that would eliminate tax on Olympic medals and prize money. (]President Obama agreed with him!) Rubio said this tax is another example of the “madness” of the U.S. tax system, which he called a “complicated and burdensome mess.” No argument from us, senator. We’ve been saying that for years. Our friend, Dan Mitchell of the Cato Institute, points out that it’s important to understand that the senator’s bill isn’t a feel-good effort to create a special tax break. Instead, Senator Rubio is seeking to take a small step in the direction of better tax policy. More specifically, Senator Rubio agrees with The Sovereign Society that we should end the current U.S. system of “worldwide” taxation and shift to “territorial” taxation, the common sense idea of sovereignty applied to taxes. If income is earned inside a nation’s borders, that nation gets to decide how and when it is taxed. Continuing Battle for Tax Freedom The Olympics have exposed a continuation of the global battle between conservative and libertarian advocates of source-based (territorial) taxation on one hand, and those high-tax leftists who want residence-based (worldwide) taxation, on the other. President Obama, the Democratic Party, the Organization for Economic and Community Development (OECD) and their kooky Left allies, such as the so-called "Tax Justice Network," avidly support worldwide taxation that allows their big spending government to collect tax on any income taxpayers earn worldwide. That, unfortunately, is current U.S. tax law. But, to tax income earned outside their borders, government’s tax collection agency, such as the IRS, must be aware of the income; thus the PATRIOT Act, the demand to eliminate all financial privacy, the bullying of governments such as Switzerland, the attempt to impose FATCA on every bank in the world. In contrast, under the territorial method of taxation, countries such as Panama and Uruguay, for example, reserve the right to tax the income earned inside their borders, regardless of who earns the money; but they do not assert the right to tax income earned in other countries. While this may seem to be a rather obscure debate, known or understood by few, the eventual outcome has profound implications for all of us, as Americans have just discovered about their suddenly taxed Olympic medalists in London. As Dan Mitchell points out, radical leftists like Michigan Senator Carl Levin prefer worldwide taxation because it undermines tax competition among counties removing individuals’ and companies’ ability to escape high taxes by shifting activity to jurisdictions with better tax policy. Indeed, this is why politicians from high-tax nations, like Levin and Obama, are so fixated on trying to shut down so-called tax havens. It’s difficult to enforce bad tax policy, after all, if some nations have strong human rights policies on privacy. Hope and Change Unfortunately for American Olympians, U.S. taxes follow them wherever they earn and wherever they go. Fortunately for us, there are still ways to safely and legally move your assets to nations with more progressive low-tax policies. Uruguay, for example, has a secure banking system and offers interest yields far better than we can find here at home. While it might be too late for our returning Olympic champions, there is still time for you to take steps to protect yourself from America’s draconian tax laws. Until next time, Bob Bauman P.S. Until our politicians fix our broken tax system – which seems incredibly unlikely – people will continue to look for ways to protect their wealth from the greedy hands of an overreaching government. Since 2007, more than 800,000 millionaires have vanished from America doing exactly that. To find out where they’ve gone – and how you can join them – click here for my latest special report.

Listen to the Call for All News Shared Conference Call Replay for Sun. - August 05, 2012 or Call: 760-569-7699 / Pin 769478# Highlights & Summary of Last Night's News The I.Q.D. Team plus L.J.'s Next Step Team Highlights from some of the Best News Articles Discussion and Analysis (Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed after each news article listed below - the following are the highlights after the articles were read) "Parliamentary Economic Committee discussed the situation monthly sales of the dollar and other bills" Committee discussed the economy and investment, a number of parliamentary bills. A statement from the House of Representatives received the Agency (news) a copy of it on Sunday: The Committee discussed the draft laws and ratify international agreements a memorandum of understanding between the governments of Iraq and the U.S., and Iraq's accession to the Convention establishing the International Islamic Trade Finance. The statement added that the committee also discussed's papers received from the Department of Research entitled (the green economy on our way to achieving sustainable development and the reform of the environmental situation and the most prominent indicators of the Iraqi oil sector) in addition to discussing the book received from the Central Bank of Iraq, containing the position monthly dollar sales to the banks for the month of May 2012, and the book received from the Central Bank and the project containing the currency restructuring project to delete the zeros. Straight Talkin' Mike: Committee approved... nice to see they approved the memorandum of understanding... draft laws and ratify international agreement for the banks... all the paperwork that they need and they are moving along... from the Central Bank in reference to their sales and their project containing the currency restructuring project to delete the zeroes... When we say they are moving forward... we look for those positive articles to say they are moving forward... this is a sign that they are moving forward... we have them passing laws... we have them doing what they are supposed to be doing in the Finance Committee which is supporting the Central Bank... not trying to make laws... but supporting what they need to do all of this... we like to see these things as they move forward... steps to move them forward... support the restructuring of the banks... see the passing of these memo of understanding and internationally... is really great... one of the things that we see is that we are really starting to see them focus on what is going to be the next step... to stop the smuggling of their currency outside of their country... we have seen them take major steps by shutting down the currency dealers and the next step you are going to see after they sign these memorandums because this will give them a lot more information from the int'l community... it goes both ways... as they open up to the int'l communities... the int'l community can now share information back with them..now they can see what banks they can go to banks outside of the country... they can go to banks int'l around and say you are receiving this... where's this money going to and they can now trace all of these things... its going to give them a lot more tools to stop basically Iran from smuggling money outside of the country and put a stop to that... so they can get back to stabilizing their currency and keep it stabilized... they have a ton of resources and dollars in the CB so there really is no fear but if you want to add value to your currency you want to make sure that the ship is not leaking in 16 different directions because once you do this and have this in place and you start to add value to your currency it starts to flush that currency out so not only this is successful before you add value but it is also going to be successful after to track where this money is and the will be able to determine where the money came from and the sources it came form... they have signed onto all of these initiatives for money laundering and terrorist things so it is going to give them power... all of the things in thee two articles are tremendous - another step in the Future of Iraq project to get their banking system on line and they have been going... more so than the gov't side - these guys have been moving with several new things every other day... good good news for the CBI... Shabibi is putting the things into place he needs to put in... he's following all of the directions... following all of the goals that were set for him by IMF to get his banking sector in shape he has followed that... they are not going to get this banking system in place to have a currency will little or no value. He has to have help from the int'l community... he is not going to be able to do it alone... we've seen by these Memo of Understandings, etc... these are all specific tools that he needs to combat these things - Because his economy is not up and running he needs help from the int'l community... they just extended the guarantees again for one more term... all of this is help - to help keep people from backing out of investments... to help keep him stabilized with his currency as he goes thru these things to prepare - almost to get him ready for his changes that are coming with his currency... he has a lot of support from the int'l community as well as getting support internally now... we really like to see that. Arthur [L.J.'s Next Step Team]: Shabibi is moving along with the project... the Future of Iraq Project... The deletion of the zeroes... All we see now is the Central Bank moving right along as if they are going straight into the deletion project and I like that because of the slow nature of the gov't side - it doesn't seem to be slowing Shabibi down at all and I think that is great. "Association of Banks of renewed fears of statement of accounts for customers" Straight Talkin' Mike: All of these type of things move Shabibi's time tables up.....when he sees these things going on he starts to move forward....- all of these things are positive things for the ultimate goal which is add value to the currency....puts pressure on things to move forward and that is what we want to see... Mike and Arthur discuss Maliki's desperation and things going against him on the political side... listen to recording. L.J.: Things are starting to move... it seems that the end of Ramadan is a target time frame... makes sense Talabani is supposed to be back after Ramadan... and we see they trying to have the reforms done before the end of Ramadan... with that we have reason to have encouragement to see something take place and we just hope that with what Shabibi is telling us and what the banking sector is doing that it all comes together like we think and know it should... please have cautious excitement and optimism because as we have always seen deadlines come and go. Great Round Table Discussion during the government articles with LJ, Don & Straight Talkin Mike... listen to the recording... Article 140, Demonstrations planned, Chapter 7, Amnesty, Mutlag, Reforms, Federation Council & the NCSP & Allawi. RECAPS: CBI / ECONOMY Straight Talkin' Mike: Moving ahead... we discussed 4 articles tonight... one was from the Finance Committee from Maliki's voice on that Committee saying we don't want this to go forward, we want it to stop and they don't have any constitutional right to do this... Well we know for sure that constitutionally this is done and they can move forward. We also talked about them wanting to tax the bank accounts which kind-a puts pressure on the situation - again this comes from Malikis side - What Shabibi tends to do is he tends to move himself forward more quickly when he runs up against these things - provides a little pressure for him and we are happy about that. And really the next step for the Central Bank is to get control of their money laundering and they are becoming and vastly signing all of these international treaties, and all of the international things with the int'l banks and they are working very hard to be able to get this information so they can shut this down and you will see this happen come very quickly... He is moving forward and you do not have to worry about anything on the Central Bank side as they are moving forward. My guess is Maliki's political situation is pushing Maliki to mess with the Central Bank - in one article he even called it the prime ministers central bank and it is not... it is the Iraqi Central Bank so it kind-a gives you some of the arrogance involved with all of this... But all is positive on the CBI side. GOVERNMENT L.J. [L.J.'s Next Step Team]: People are going to have their voice heard... hopefully we have reforms. We see the advancement of society they are making with the trains and using satellites. We are looking at Mutlag issue and bridging the gap between Allawi & Maliki... Looking at the Federation Council being established and they are trying to get that settled to where they understand exactly what the role is - Representation is actually speaking about the article and what the Federation Council does - says it is kinda additional to what the constitution already has in it it but it is written in the Constitution under Article 65 so you cant even dispute the fact that this Federation Council will exist - we are starting to see some movement...the news is telling us that before Ramadan and before Eid al Fidr they want to have things done Talabani is supposed to be back right after Ramadan. We are seeing a lot of good things on the government side... laws passed 100... 70 more to pass... National Alliance isn't going to change their tune... they are going to continue to try and prolong this thing for as long as they can... You have Maliki saying I am going to do this and do that... You have Jafaari meeting after meeting with National Alliance about the reforms... Supposedly we had reform papers delivered today - Najafi looking over Reform documents as we speak... National Alliance says they have addressed every item talked about in the reforms - so we will see... We have a lot of good things coming... small steps like Mutlag and the fact that he is back and Maliki was working diligently to get him back means a lot to us... Looks really good... looking for articles really moving towards what we are looking for which is the government to make some kind of decision on what they are going to do on forming itself and I think we are going to pleased with it hopefully before the middle of the month.

Cyber bank robbers attempt billion-dollar heist, targeting your money 06/27/2012 Cyber bank robbers attempt billion-dollar heist, targeting your money By John R. Quain Personal Tech Published June 26, 2012 FoxNews.com The next Internet billionaires won’t be pushing social-networking apps. They’ll be breaking into your bank accounts. An organized global cyber crimewave has been underway for months, according to a report released today from security firms McAfee and Guardian Analytics, attacking banks in Columbia, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the U.S. A total of roughly $78 million was successfully siphoned out of bank accounts, according to researchers, with a potential total of $2 billion attempted. (Banks are understandably loathe to reveal losses and due to additional security concerns have not been identified.) Analysts at the firms report that these thefts represent a new generation of attacks running off of hijacked servers that can be frequently changed to avoid detection and completely automated so that thousands of customer accounts can be broken into without even raising the owners’ suspicion. By adapting two types of malware designed to steal passwords — known as Zeus and SpyEye — hackers can now invisibly record login information and add additional requests for information on what appear to be valid online banking pages. They can even intercept secondary, one-time only passwords, and then put the user on hold while they login and transfer funds to criminal accounts. After the transfer is complete, the software can even post false balances so that the victim is unaware of the theft until it is too late. What is different about these new attacks is their high level of automation. It allows organized cyberattacks that can drain just a few dollars from multiple accounts without any intervention by the crooks. Furthermore, according to McAfee, the criminals look for large account balances — hence the researchers dubbed the crime spree “Operation High Roller.” In at least one case, the criminals made off with $130,000 from a single account. The moral of this latest cyberscare story is that you cannot rely on your bank or financial institution to protect your money. In many cases, the financial institution’s profits are sufficiently high and the investment in additional computer security measures considered too expensive to prevent many of these attacks. As some analysts have told me, it’s considered part of the cost of doing business. Just make sure it isn’t your cost of doing business online. First, you have to run some sort of anti-virus software. There are free basic versions out there from the likes of Avast, AVG, and BitDefender. Many of these monitor new threats and will warn you about suspicious Web pages. Second, never, ever, ever open a link in an “official” e-mail message you receive. This is the primary way criminals lead thousands of users astray every day. If you get a message from your bank, open a separate browser and type in the URL that you usually use. It’s the only way to avoid being led astray. Third, update your software: in particular the Web browser you’re using and Sun’s Java and Adobe’s Reader software (for opening PDFs). These programs are the favorite targets of hackers and new exploits are uncovered every week. Keeping them updated can often prevent so-called iFrame hacks that may compromise legitimate Web sites and secretly install malware on your computer. So instead of watching that Tree Girl video, check for updates whenever you have a spare moment The computer security threats are clearly endemic, prompting the head of Britain’s spy agency, Jonathan Evans of MI5, to coincidentally come out this week to warn that the level of cyber attacks is now “astonishing.” Evans warned that the scale of such threats has now reached “industrial-scale” proportions. So it’s no longer a matter of paranoia to check your software and Web surfing habits. It’s a matter of common sense.

1.Dan and Tony quit having calls and saying we got news from our contacts but we can't tell you. And the San Francisco trip is cancelled. 2. Dan quit hollering at the callers as if he's their daddy. 3. Tony quit snickering whenever a question is asked.

I hope it comes out better than that. Of course you can probably negotiate the bank spreads and find away to offset taxes.

Isn't it bad there?

Add GID Associates,you can get $940 PER MILLION DINAR. http://gidassociates.com/

I think we won't know what it actually means until it happens. A lot of the information applies to Iraq and not us. I believe a lot has to do with not having to have all of those bills. I believe that if the 25,000 note is now 25 note that the value will still be 25,000 if 1:1 or 25,000 X rv rate. IMHO.

It can be up to 20% over Kuwait.

You haven't missed anything unless you want to hear Dan hollering at people all the time like he's their daddy, and a bunch of laughing and snickering when you ask questions. Believe me you will hear a lot about them when this is all over. For the member's sake, I hope it's good.

First of all,Thanks, I have received by VIP wallet card. How is it looking on Post RV negotiations. Do you think the ministers will be seated before The Arab Summit?

Aren't they suppose to run the old and new currencies concurrently for a year?

Thanks for that article kennyc

Not all bigamist and racist but a couple that are favored are one or the other. And whose to say any of them are gonna please everybody. Many of the past presidents did many negative things that a lot of people complained about and were talked about like they were a dog. After several years now they are folk heroes. No ALL of the Republican candidates are NOT classified as bigamist racists? Show me a perfect president!

I don't know if Obama is the best one for the job,but we don't have any better candidates but a bunch of bigamist racists and nobody knows their full agenda. No matter who is in office,fault will always be found in them. -

I like that Texas Granny. I have 32 more years to go. I'm a Texas Granny too.

Great Call.

I think it's going to be more around the $3 and something range or more. I don't believe that they would go through all of this trouble for .26.
