If you don't mind having a different incoming number the cheapest way would be to get a local SIM chip in whatever country you are in. If you would be receiving a lot of calls from different people then this would be complicated as your number would change in each country. For making calls...

Wanted to point out that is is fairly easy to have a US phone number to ring an Argentinian mobile phone. Really easy on Android. Added bonus is if you are connected to a Wifi all calls to the US are local and super cheap rates internationally. It basically involves Google Voice, Sip client...

If you don't have an unlocked GSM phone and you want a half decent one buy an unlocked one on ebay before you come. When you get to Argentina simply buy a SIM from Movistar, Personal or Claro and you are good to go. I don't know about low end phones in Argentina but the higher end ones look to...

It was the only possibility I could think of for an Argentinian to open a US bank account without going to the US. If you wanted to move your paypal balance to a US bank account and then xoom it to yourself that might be fun until paypal loading via credit card is blocked/limited and/or you get...

Sorry, I just heard back. I got a noncommittal email back but here is the content. My take is that you have to have at least a director of the corporation be here to open the account. It's an interesting option though- you can appoint anyone as a director friend, family etc. You would need to...

I've got to run and I'm no expert but your post made me think of this- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_Swiss_dinar If you have not heard of this it will blow your and the gold bugs' minds :D

You are right that Buffet does have dividend income outside of BK but it is from his personal holding and is a negligible part of his net worth. You can also invest in stocks and take part in his scheme. Buffet has got to be one of the least evil rich guys around. He is giving away 99% of his...

Berkshire Hathaway has never paid a dividend. Warren Buffet has proposed a higher tax rate for individuals such as himself. I believe they are referring to it as the "Buffet Rule" or something like that. At any point in history there have been people who predict the end of the financial system...

Coincidentally or not you have picked as a starting reference point the approximate year where gold has been at its lowest price in over 30 years. That is like comparing Argentina's economic growth since the early 2000s to other countries economies and calling it, as Krugman says, "a miracle"...

1500 shares of BRK.B is equal to 1 share of BRK.A but with limited voting rights. A share can be split into 1500 B shares but loses the A voting rights but you have the same liquidity. An above poster seemed to elude to Buffet being part of some sort of secret cabal and/or global conspiracy. He...

That is exactly my point. Stocks, bonds, and real estate do provide streams of income. Stocks beat gold over time. INCLUDING the recent gold bubble. http://www.stocks-for-beginners.com/gold-market-price.html Taking out the recent rise due to increased investor speculation and you will see that...

Gold costs money to store and the higher the price the more that can be profitably extracted. The major market for it is India and elsewhere to show something shiny that supposedly indicates your status. We are in the midst of a huge run up following a financial bubble burst. Gold produces no...

I am going to check out the corporate account opening procedure. You can completely incorporate online in Virginia and I believe a director of the corporation can open the account and possibly by a certified document. If your "corporation " has no taxable activity you don't have to file taxes...

a Must be in person with any government issued ID from any country. This is according to my bank manager in Virginia . BB&T sends buses to the apple orchards to sign up the migrant workers. You may be able to open a corporate account without being present.

My bank (BB&T) will open an account with any government issued ID from any country. I confirmed this a couple of days ago for a friend and the bank manager said they open accounts all the time for temporary migrant workers. From the other post above me maybe it depends on the bank. BB&T will...

Ben- That is a good point. I was a new seller. The complete lack of interest (ipad- not one question) is what got me. Over the two weeks of the listings I decreased the pricing to just slightly over US cost. I have a Argentinian friend with over 700 feedback and there are some small electronics...

This sums it up for me- el que no afana es un gil To clarify, this is NOT what I believe :) Complete lyrics here http://www.planet-tango.com/lyrics/cambalac.htm Turn down your speakers before clicking.

I can only speak for two Apple products, ipads and iphones. The last time I traveled I listed my iphone and an ipad on mercadolibre after seeing the prices and figuring that I could easily replace them. I listed them for less than most of the listings. Keep in mind that mercadolibre charges a...

A transfer to a friends account at Santander Rio only took 2 days and there was no charge to my friend. I sent $500 dollars twice in one week.

Was there a couple of weeks ago being a complete tourist. Enjoyed the views from the teleferico and also had a blast at a peña (and the cabrito was delicious). The plaza is beautiful and it was fun just walking around.
