Unlock the 'Money Secrets' the World's Financial Elite Have Quietly Used for Decades...

Invest freely in top-performing foreign stocks, investment-grade bonds, mutual funds, and currencies not readily available in the investment-restricted U.S. Buy a luxury home at a 60% discount to comparable properties and pay NO REAL ESTATE TAXES for the next 15 years Legally shield your wealth from predatory lawyers and other busybodies with iron-clad financial privacy laws Create your own international corporation and do business anywhere in the world - without leaving home, filing financial accounts or paying taxes to the local government And discover how the very same opportunities are now waiting for you... Dear Reader, The world's wealthiest families seem to play by a different set of rules than most people. They shelter more of their income from taxes... they tend to own properties and financial accounts abroad, with significant asset protection and lifestyle advantages... they take advantage of investments with low risk yet very high potential returns... For instance... Sam Walton's estate was valued at around $25 billion when he died in 1992. But his heirs didn't pay a cent in estate taxes. Yet if the owner of the local pharmacy dies with an estate of $3 million, the government will swoop in and take up to 47 percent (not including any legal fees and other expenses the family might have to deal with). What did Walton know that other investors don't? A recent study conducted by the New York Times found that people who earn more than $10 million per year pay a smaller percentage of their income in taxes than those who make $100,000 to $200,000. What hidden strategies are protecting their assets from the clutches of the tax man? The number one goal of contingency lawyers is to get a settlement. Yet 'old-money' families have their wealth structured so that it becomes expensive to even attempt to sue them. So the lawyers end up dropping their plaintiff-clients! What structures do they use to send the wealth jackals scurrying? You can buy investments that guarantee your principal and yet pay you up to 120% of the upside of a group of stocks or even commodities. You can also make investments with government incentives, discounts, guarantees or all three... that generate enough income to pay off your initial investment... and then let you sell the investment for additional gains to boot! How do they gain access to these little-publicized, rock-solid investments? These aren't the kind of strategies typically recommended by your CPA or neighborhood financial adviser. These almost appear to be Privileged Opportunities, reserved for the world's wealthiest and best-connected families only. But here's the truth. The same techniques are available to you. They don't require a lot of money or connections. They simply require knowledge. The rules and regulations we have to play by...are actually the same for everyone. The Walton's of the world are subject to the same laws as you. It's just that the financial elite have access to the best financial advice in the world. So they take advantage of a few important rules that others don't. At The Sovereign Society our mission for the last seven years has been to lift the veil on these 'money secrets'...to bring you the most effective techniques to help you slash your taxes, get higher investment returns, and protect your wealth. Now we've put together the most effective of these wealth-creating and wealth protecting methods for each of the top offshore havens in the world. It's all in an in-depth offshore series called 'Money Secrets of the World's Leading Asset Havens.' I've just completed the first of this series. It focuses on little-known lifestyle, investment and asset protection opportunities in a true investor's paradise. A place I've been connected to for over 35 years...and one I expect to return to for the rest of my life. Where is this land of secrets? It's Panama, my home away from home - and a place where Money Secrets run deep... Many of the World's Wealthiest Families Take Advantage of Panama's Closely Guarded Money Secrets - Now, You Can Too! Panama is a country where the world's wealthiest investors have been cashing in for years, thanks to secrets like these: Legal ways to create trusts, corporations, private interest foundations and holding companies free from local and some foreign taxation, with very low setup costs. (Book 2: page 30) How to purchase real estate without being publicly identified (banks and other officials can suffer civil and criminal penalties - including jail time - for disclosing your identity). (Book 3: page 14) Where to find undervalued properties throughout the country...18th century seaside villas (with sweet tax incentives for investors willing to restore them)... (Book 3: page 7) U.S.-built buildings in a former military zone (now being transformed into hotels and luxury residences by savvy investors and corporations)... (Book 3: page 8) Completely legal strategies for avoiding most U.S. federal and state estate taxes, preserving your hard-earned wealth for your heirs. (Book 2: page 18) 'Four years after the last U.S. Troops pulled out and Panamanians gained control of the canal that is their most important national asset, the Yankee footprint here remains deep and surprisingly welcome. Although anti-Americanism is on the rise in much of Latin America, Panamanians heartily embrace their onetime occupier's values and symbols, from language to music and fashion -- and the almighty dollar.' -- Los Angeles Times These are just a few of the time-tested investment and asset protection opportunities in one of the friendliest, most affordable and easily accessible offshore havens in the world. It is a haven that is rock-solid economically. The US dollar has been its currency since 1905. Unlike its Latin American neighbors, Panama has never experienced a bout of hyper-inflation. And its asset-protection and investment-incentive laws date back to the 1920s, though they have actually consistently strengthened over the years! And when I say Panama is a proven asset haven...I'm not just referring to the official history. It is a pioneer offshore financial center with respectable avenues for real estate investment, trade and asset protection...all with a high degree of financial privacy, guaranteed by law. My name is Bob Bauman. You know me as the Legal Counsel for The Sovereign Society, a contributor to the Society's monthly newsletter The Sovereign Individual, and the editor of The Society's daily email service The Sovereign Society Offshore A-Letter. But you may not know that Panama is like a second home to me. I've been to the country dozens of times in professional and personal capacities over the last four decades. I first arrived in this isthmus nation as the ranking member of a Subcommittee for the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. I met the Shah of Iran there shortly before he died in exile. I participated in treaty negotiations that brought about radical changes in the relationship between this country and the United States. I have since returned many times as a private citizen. And on each trip, I've been amazed to discover this country's continuing transformation into a profitable, modern, global financial center. Let me tell you why - from my personal and professional experience - Panama may be one of the best places in the world for you to invest, retire, purchase a second home or very safely and discretely protect your assets... The Evolution of a World-class Financial Safe Haven And Investor's Paradise The United States effectively dominated Panama for most of the 20th century. Even though Panama is now a fully sovereign nation, an American-style infrastructure remains...much of it built by the U.S. to begin with. Americans who worked in the zone and their families have returned to make it their permanent home. You can find American movies, fast food...even Fourth of July barbeques. And they love American baseball here. And since Panama is a global offshore banking center, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a more refined lifestyle too. Restaurants, clubs, golfing, first-class hotels, yachting, luxury shopping, sun-washed beaches and much more. Living, retiring, owning a second home or doing business in Panama is now within your reach. The low cost, high quality of life, proximity to the US (less than three hours from Miami) and unique asset protection, tax savings and investment benefits of this isthmus nation are drawing Americans, Canadians and Europeans in droves. Real estate values have doubled in the last six years, yet - as I'll show you - prices are still extremely affordable, and the upward trend shows no sign of stopping. Many everyday commodities -- often the same brands and quality available in the U.S. - are available for 20%-30% less in Panama. There are even additional discounts for resident foreigners. The economy is booming, and the country is rapidly becoming one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. Modern Maturity magazine, published by the AARP, rated one of Panama's towns as the fourth best retirement destination in the world. (I'll tell you which one on Page 3 of Book 1.) International Living ranks Panama as #1 on their list of offshore residency and retirement countries. In the last year alone, Panama has received favorable coverage in National Geographic, Travel and Leisure, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, London's Telegraph, and Harpers Bazaar, which described Panama as 'the most beautiful retreat in the world and almost undiscovered.' The Boston Globe called it 'an undiscovered paradise.' But the secret won't be 'undiscovered' much longer... In the last two years, tourism revenues have topped the total income from the Panama Canal and the Colon Free Trade Zone for the first time. Businesses and investors worldwide are shifting operations from Miami to Panama to escape the threat of terrorist attacks and the crushing restrictions of the USA PATRIOT Act. In short, the spotlight is shifting to Panama, its business-friendly government, guaranteed financial privacy, undervalued real estate, natural beauty, and friendly, affordable lifestyle. Here's just a taste of what you can find right now: Spectacular tourism and real estate investment incentives. With a minimum investment of a fraction of the value of your home in the US, you can get a 20-year exemption on real estate taxes and import duties. These exemptions will expire soon, but are transferable when the property is re-sold...investors who get in now can take their time, and cash in at the expense of latecomers who miss the cutoff. What's more foreign investors can get tax-free use of airports and piers, and accelerated real estate depreciation of 10% per year! (Book 2: page 46) Luxury condos on beautiful white beaches - surrounded by the same gorgeous tropical settings you've seen on Survivor, but with modern facilities, tennis, and golf - available for the cost of a modest home in the U.S. (Book 3: page 5)...luxury penthouses overlooking the Pacific on four sides for a third of the cost of similar property in Miami (Book 3: page 3)...and land that's available for $100, $10, or even less than $1 per square meter (about 10-3/4 square feet...Book 3: page 9) Privatization of facilities formerly owned by the government. Panama's government has been getting out of business since 1997. Foreign investors already control 49% of the countries phone system and 51% of its electric grid. Companies based in Hong Kong and the U.S. operate Panama's ports and railroads, and the government is eager to pass on other aspects of the country's infrastructure (we'll tell you who to contact on Page 50 of book 2). A tax-free zone for high-tech businesses (especially information technology) just outside of Panama City...already being used by Florida State University, McGill University, Smithsonian, The Nature Conservancy, and many others. Investors in the 'City of Knowledge' (La Ciudad del Saber) have low rent and are eligible for special work visas for employees...all strategically located at a major hub of the digital, financial, and transportation sectors. (Book 2: page 47) There are many more great opportunities like these, but time is running out for some of the best deals. If you've ever dreamed of having your own safe-haven tropical getaway, the time to act is now. That's why I'm writing to tell you about the fastest way to learn everything you need to know about living or doing business in Panama...before the rest of the world catches on to the secret. In fact, I'm convinced that the brand-new resource kit I've just completed - Panama Money Secrets - is the single most valuable resource on Panama ever written for savvy investors like you. Your Key to Unlocking the Money Secrets of the Western Hemisphere's Oldest, Most Secure Asset Haven Panama Money Secrets is designed to bring you up to speed on the amazing opportunities to make big profits, protect your privacy, and enjoy life in a way you never thought possible. You'll learn how you can take advantage of many of the asset protection and investment opportunities without ever leaving home. More likely, though, when you learn the secret advantages of having a second home, investment property or retirement getaway here... you may just get a burning desire to catch the next plane to Panama. And if you do decide to make that trip, you'll be in the know about Panama's secrets...and far better prepared than most people who step on that flight. Throughout my career, I've been to Panama more than a dozen times. The Sovereign Society and I have relationships going back many years with leading figures in business, government and the financial community. I've also spent more than 35 years helping investors like you preserve their privacy rights and protect their hard-earned gains. So I can say with full confidence that Panama Money Secrets is the single best inside source on financial and lifestyle opportunities in this remarkable 'Little Big Country' that you'll find anywhere in print. You see, I don't believe it's enough to tell you about Panama's 'Money Secrets.' I've also provided everything you need to become a connected insider... Get A Complete Turnkey Kit to Opportunities and Contacts in Panama Within the pages of Panama Money Secrets, I'll tell you what Panama is like today - and what makes this fascinating country ideal for: Your company, trust, or family foundation First-class asset protection, banking and financial privacy - guaranteed by law Your vacation home or retirement residence Profitable real estate investments of all kinds, from condos to coffee farms to beach fronts A must-visit place for tourism, vacations, or just plain fun! I'm more than an impartial observer of Panama. Thirty years ago, I was an adversary of Panama's contentious government. Today, I'm shopping for real estate in Panama City (I'll tell you what part of town I'm looking at on page 3 of Book 1: and reveal other great places to live in Chapter 1 of Book 3). It's taken me nearly three decades to learn the ins and outs of building - and protecting - wealth in Panama. But you can discover them for yourself with just a few hours of easy reading. Here's a short excerpt of what you'll find in Panama Money Secrets: Why an Offshore Bank Account? (From Book Two: Panama Banking, Investment and Asset Protection Secrets - Page 13) 'An offshore bank account in Panama or any other offshore haven is not just a place for safekeeping cash. It gives you the ability to trade freely and invest in foreign stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and national currencies not available in your home country, especially for those living in the investment restricted United States. 'An offshore account is excellent for diversifying investments, plus taking advantage of global tax savings. You get instant access to the world's best investment opportunities, free of your home nation's legal restrictions. 'You can use the account to purchase attractive insurance and annuity products not available in the U.S. and some other nations. Tax savings may result from deferred investment earnings, capital gains or appreciation, rather than receiving ordinary income taxed at a much higher rate. 'An offshore bank account in Panama offers opportunities to profit from currency fluctuations, easy ability to purchase local real estate, and earnings from higher interest rates. You also can trade precious metals and other tangible personal assets through an offshore account. 'Equally important is the stronger asset protection a foreign bank account provides. Cash offshore is better shielded from domestic lawsuits and claims of all kinds. Panama does not automatically honor foreign civil judgments and may require re-litigation of a foreign claim, a legal impediment sure to promote quick compromise.' You could easily spend years - and a lot of money - and still not learn all the secrets my colleagues and I have packed into Panama Money Secrets...and by that time you'd have missed out on a lot of great opportunities. Before this year, no single resource of this scope and detail existed anywhere. But now you can find all the information you need in one place: The Most Comprehensive Guide to Investing, Banking, Doing Business and Living in Panama Ever Written...And Not Available in any Bookstore Panama Money Secrets is divided into four fast-paced, easy-to-read, highly detailed resource books: Panama Banking, Investment and Asset Protection Secrets is a 56-page guide to Panama's economy, extensive finance and banking resources, the country's carefully-cultivated role as an offshore haven. It also details why and how to do business in Panama, including: The historic role of the U.S. dollar...Panama's official currency for over 100 years. One benefit of this is you don't have to worry about devaluation. Another is that this has kept real estate extremely affordable for Americans. And yet, there are no foreign exchange controls. So, if you're bearish on the dollar, you can also bank in any other currency or currencies you like! The economic drivers that are supercharging Panama's economy...how it has become one of the wealthiest nations in Latin America, and one of the world's 'upper middle income' countries, with annual per capita income 43% higher than the regional average for Central America...the economic boom triggered by the September 11 attacks...and why the dollar is almighty here. How to select banks and open accounts for maximum privacy and tax savings...securing the necessary personal introductions, letters of recommendation and other documentation...what you'll have to tell the IRS (and what you won't)...a full list of licensed local and offshore banks...and which ones we recommend based on the experience of both Panamanians and expatriates living in Panama. Panama 's guaranteed financial privacy...its refusal to compromise its tax-competitiveness for the benefit of Washington, the EU, and self-appointed international 'watchdog' organizations like the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF)...and its strict anti-money laundering laws, which are vigorously enforced. Asset-protection choices available to investors, including Trusts, Corporations, and Private Interest Foundations...even 'off the shelf' corporations already set up by local law firms, available for around $1,500 and ready to do business within hours after activation. Details of Panama's tax-free zones for manufacturing, shipping and high-tech businesses...including the second-largest free trade zone in the world (after Hong Kong)...and other government-sponsored incentives for investors. Detailed guidelines for U.S. reporting rules and obligations...what you have to reveal...and what you don't.

How to qualify for Panama's famed pensionado visa, which entitles you to discounts of 10%-50% off everything from hotel stays and restaurants to doctor's visits, prescription medicine, and real estate closing costs - discounts that are guaranteed by law. The #1 cash crop in Panama - valued so highly that the Panamanian government offers a fast-track residence visa and tax-free profits to investors in accredited companies. Panama Money Secrets gives you the keys to how the local business and social scenes work. You'll need to understand the ins and outs of doing business there, so we've devoted a 50-page report on it's history, and government. In addition to how and why its laws and fiscal policies make it one of the world's best asset havens, you'll find how to: Prosper from the expansion of the Famous Canal - Called 'the seventh wonder of the world.' The Canal plays a central role in Panama's past, present, and future. Today, it's realizing record profits and you'll see the opportunities that can create for you as an investor. And yet, you'll also learn how the Canal is just one part of Panama's exploding economy. Invest with confidence. You'll get a realistic assessment of current political conditions - why the government of Panama is becoming more business- and investor-friendly...why its current stability is likely to last for years to come...and why it won't be bullied by the United States or any other country that wants to invade the privacy of foreigners who do business here. Plug right into the best of the local social scene. Who your neighbors and employees will be if you retire or do business in Panama - how educated they are...how to recognize the diverse social groups many foreigners don't see...their standard of living...what languages they speak (an old joke says there are more English-speakers here than in Miami or southern Florida)...and why their future is so bright. Get an insider's knowledge of how business is done in Panama. You'll understand the structure of Panama's government...its official language...social undercurrents that affect its politics...idiosyncrasies of its provincial and municipal governments...and a profile of its new, pro-business, reform-minded President Torrijos. (Torrijos recently went toe-to-toe with Washington to protect financial privacy and Torrijos won!) Understand the local culture. You'll get a detailed history of Panama - its discovery by Spanish explorers...its struggle for independence from Columbia...the era of U.S. control that produced the famous canal...its decline into military dictatorship...and its stunning rebirth as a stable democracy and the Western hemisphere's leading international trading, banking and maritime center. Insider's Rolodex. The last book in the Panama Money Secrets kit is deceptively small, but it's potentially the most valuable. Designed to fit unobtrusively in your suitcase, the paperback-sized Insider's Rolodex summarizes key information from the other three books, along with key contact information for just about anything you'll need when you visit, including: Panama 's most exclusive clubs Our favorite picks for dining and accommodations... where to find the best steak and seafood...or just order a pizza Shopping malls, including three newly-built ones that rival anything in the US in terms of selection - but typically offering far lower prices First-rate health care services inside and outside Panama City Contact information for the best banks and professional services The best local programs for quickly learning Spanish, answers to frequently-asked questions, and capsule summaries of Panama's presidents and history Forms you'll need if you live or do business in Panama... and so much more In addition, you'll also receive a full-color 11" x 14" map of Panama. But I won't attempt to whitewash the country... Panama Money Secrets reveals it to you intact with warts and all: its crazy traffic, where the highest crime rate is (though in most places your personal safety is better than in the U.S.), where things are going on under the table, and what concerns Uncle Sam has when you start investing or doing business there. But we think you'll be pleasantly surprised to discover the realities of modern Panama...and how far it's come from its 'Banana Republic' days. And that leads me to one of the most important things I want to tell you about Panama... Is Panama Really Safe for Foreigners? One of the most common things people ask me about Panama is if they will be safe when visiting. In fact, the Fraser Institute of Canada rates Panama as one of the safest countries in the world. (We discuss this in more detail in Book 3: Chapter 1.) That being said, there's one very real danger every foreigner must be prepared to face before they set foot in Panama: You may suddenly fall in love with the country and never want to go home. I'm not kidding. I've seen it happen at our annual Offshore Advantage Seminars in Panama City. People arrive intending to stay only for the four-day conference, and end up lingering for weeks, months or a lifetime. Be warned: the natives have been conquering 'invaders' this way since the Spaniards landed in 1510. You'll have to experience Panama for yourself to see what I mean, but you'll start to understand why the moment you begin reading Panama Money Secrets. On page after page, you'll find hundreds of safe, proven ways to invest profitably, protect your wealth and enrich your life in the 'Crossroads of the World.'
