Not much of a reader? If you want our complete opinions on yesterday’s offshore investing story, we tackle that this week on the podcast. It’s one of our most oft-asked questions here in the basement….”what is offshore investing?” “Can I make more money by investing in the Cayman Islands or Switzerland?”
We deliver answers this week by reviewing the pros and cons of offshore investing. Both of these (pros and cons) are substantial, but I think we answer most of the questions you’d have.
