Dear Sovereign Investor, Here are the highlights from this week's Sovereign Investor articles... Monday, July 02 – Paradise Under the Southern Cross Just Got Better Last March, Bob Bauman, our Offshore and Asset Protection Editor, made his first visit to Uruguay and saw first-hand proof of the quality of life, good infrastructure, profitable investments, beautiful beaches, personal safety, friendly banking and the broad welcome mat for foreigners, both as new residents and eventual citizens. Last week, Bob received even better news from down South. Since last year, there has been confusion over changes Uruguay's Congress made in the nation's tax laws, especially as it applied to foreigners who moved to the country expecting their offshore income would be totally tax exempt. Well now foreign residents need not worry about being taxed by Uruguay on their worldwide income. Click here to learn more. Tuesday, July 03 – The Next Alternative Fuel Grows on Trees … and You Won't Find it in America In the far northern reaches of Brazil, a new opportunity is emerging in a crop most Americans pay no attention to – palm oil. Brazilian commodities giant Vale this month announced plans to build a $500 million biodiesel plant to turn palm oil into an alternative fuel source, much like U.S. companies now suck up most of the American corn crop to turn into ethanol. For a while now, Jeff D. Opdyke, Editor of The Sovereign Individual, has been writing about the fact that palm oil is a key play on the rise of the New Consumer around the world. And after spending an afternoon with the Indonesia Palm Oil Association, it's clear that what's happening in northern Brazil – as well as in Indonesia and Malaysia – will have an equally important, if not more-important impact on palm oil than will the consumer. And therein lies an opportunity. To learn more, click here. Wednesday, July 04 – The 236th Year of American Independence: Freedom Imperiled On July 4, 236 years ago in Philadelphia, the revolutionary Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson was proclaimed throughout what was to become the United States of America. One of the most memorable freedom documents of all time, it proclaimed every human being's right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Jefferson later expressed his wish that, "the annual return of this day will forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them." But Bob Bauman, our Offshore and Asset Protection Editor, shudders to think what Jefferson would say about what has happened to these cherished rights. Click here to learn more.

Thursday, July 05 – How to Profit in Today's Volatile Markets There is an old Wall Street adage that states: "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." This is crucial advice for any investor at any level. One of the most crucial lessons Andy Hecht, our Senior Commodity Editor, learned during more than three decades as a Wall Street trader is the importance of keeping on his toes. A successful trader is always ready to change direction and switch gears in accordance with market conditions. Just as market conditions change, your strategy must be dynamic. However, too many traders right now are failing to analyze and adapt. To learn how to profit from today's volatile markets, click here. Friday, July 06 – What We Can Learn from Moffett, OK This past 4th of July, Erika Nolan, Executive Publisher, was doing what many were – heading to the beach club with her family. Unfortunately, while Erika was driving – less than two miles from her home – a man stepped off the sidewalk and flagged her down. That's when she noticed that man was a police officer. Erika had been caught in a 4th of July speed trap, along with many others. And so the fleecing began – she was hit with a $322 ticket. Erika also reveals that this fleecing of honest taxpayers will only get worse as cities try to generate more revenue to avoid bankruptcy. Click here to learn more. Until next week, stay sovereign, Mark S Smith P.S. During this Fourth of July week, we have unfortunately seen some serious examples of how our freedoms have eroded, and how desperate our government has grown to avoid fixing its fundamental problems. Whichever party is in charge, our political class would rather dip further and further into your pockets (and privacy) than to trim itself down. No matter who wins this November, it's just going to get worse. Now is the time to start making your escape plan. For his Freedom Alliance subscribers, former congressman Bob Bauman is constantly researching ways of legally decreasing your taxes, exempting yourself from onerous government regulations and shielding yourself from spying government eyes.
