Agree with you Giorgio.
I believe Ukraine was your favourite country for Investing because you thought people would not Invest in Ukraine. Well there was a reason why people wouldn’t have gone and invested there which is very apparent now.

My rule is that what you think can go wrong, will go wrong. So one has to analyse the risk factor very honestly and critically, specially Geopolitical risks. You don’t have to go to Mogadishu or North Korea to double your property value, you can might as well go to a small unknown city in Europe or a capital in Latin America.

I see people making YouTube videos saying the investor will get x percent in x months, double or triple their investment. I say there is a reason behind say an apartment in Paris or New York or London cost millions. Yes, you probably won’t make any return on the investment but you are damn sure that you won’t loose any.
Also, since the world is connected and globalised more than ever it has been, please know that the investment climate in such difficult situation can affect each and every pocket in some way.
Cheers 😉

I love, love, LOVE this video. I am looking forward to your videos about acquiring new citizenships and/or residences.
Our investments are not affected by this conflict as we stay clear from Russia and Ukraine. We used to live in Moscow from 2011 to 2015, that period includes the Crimea crises. We learnt a lot during those years about the region, about the mentality…. That is why I did not even watch your video on Moldova. 😂
Now we live in Singapore, our sixth country so far. We are trying to get PR position here, no reply yet to our application, fingers crossed.
Our passport country is Hungary, so on an emotional level it is very hurtful. Also, even if we did not like Moscow, we have some friends there too. Fortunately, most of them left Russia when the crises broke out.
Again, I really appreciate this video. A voice of reason in emotional times. 👍

Inheritance tax doesn't bother me because I won't get much but also you get £350k ish tax free which can buy say 10 BTL in UK, instantly don't have to work for life and you've not done anything for it. Plus you get to keep the majority of anything you're lucky enough to have over that. I'd rather my estate was taxed once I'm dead than pay more taxes in life to cover the loss in contribution. The Rupert's are rich enough let them have £6m instead of £10m, if they've got anything about them they'll double that anyway.

Agree 100% about inflation, commodities, and property with long-term fixed rates. Personally I'm primarily looking at equities and hard assets trading well below book value in countries that are safe. My preferences are for them to be highly militarily defensible (Canada, USA, Switzerland, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, etc) and have strong governance and corruption rankings. To my mind if a person can dig around and find niche value there, then long-term safety is that much more guaranteed. I also think certain EMs like Uruguay, Mauritius, and a few others are potentially interesting. Great episode as always.

At this point, we should all take advantage of the dip. The fact is BTC is the future of crypto and the question most traders ask themselves is – if this is right time to invest? I don’t think we’ll get a reversal until this geopolitical issue finishes. The ups and downs can be hard to stomach at times but as traders we can still make good money, I trade with Bill Strut , his skills set is exceptional. Even with the ups and down I am growing my 3.2 btc to 11 btc from December till date🙌🏻

Poignant information indeed, Giorgio. You must be agile and dexterous nowadays, there’s no choice. IMO income-streams, women, countries are the same in that one is too close to none. You need multiple avenues and options.

Insofar as real estate, you can practically roll out of bed and find double-digit yields on rentals in the US, especially STRs, though it is diminishing w/ Blackrock and the likes now gobbling-up homes.

I, like most I assume, are extremely reticent to invest in real estate overseas. It’s hard enough to forecast the future for a place you know well. But it does serve multiple purposes in terms of capital/asset diversification as well as a residency permit and eventually citizenship in many cases.

I’m going to employ the strategy of investing in or very near UNESCO sites. Kotor would be a premium example, as the geography is such that future development is impossible. I would hasten to stipulate that is not legal advice, just an idea that I’m not advocating or promoting.

Just revised my investment portfolio. In this time I was buying stock heavily dropped, but with a very good dividends. Eg. COVESTRO (German trade). I just bought some for 42.10 and 42.90. They announced a 3.40 Euro dividend for this year. That means you buy stock at a crisis price and you will get this year around 8 % interest on you capital. So summarize. Best buy blue chips stocks with a good dividends in addition to real estate and a good cash

Look what a beautiful peaceful city. And now it's a hell. Unbelievable.

Thx, As usual a very sharp video. I am in Vienna housing and German real estate. Also for diversification in Cryptos fairly heavy. I insure you I get there around 14% fix interest so better than real estate. Certainly 14 % in stable coins means USD.

It's a bad time to buy in gold (maybe) as it has gone up so much, buy low sell high, been long gold since $700, I called long commodities on another channel may 2020 and got laughed at, invest like a wolf not a sheep people, to be honest very difficult to call it during time like these but oil etc will drop dramatically if this is just a game of negotiations, fingers crossed it it, who was it who said invest when is blood in the streets? More importantly let's hope it calms down for those people on the ground in Ukraine

Great video! Do you think property prices in neighbouring countries to Ukraine could possibly go down as a result of the situation? Or even up due to the influx of refugees in these countries ?

I have few apartments in Kiev and I believe this war will end soon, and the real estate prices shouldn't drop more than 20-25%. Otherwise it won't be profitable for developers

Buy physical gold and silver

After Ukraine/Russia and Canada my trust of the banking system has reached a new all time low. Now I want assets outside of that like physical cash and gold. Yesterday, like a lot of other people I got more gold, the price is about to explode.

Will be interesting to see what happens to the Russian stocks I "own" (mainly mining) .. the stock exchanges have stopped trading them on their own even though the sanctions don't apply to that.

Thanks for nice information

You think it's a good ideea to buy a house with the bank in Italy?
