W.I.L. Finance Digest
Education and information from the front lines.
 As the old saying goes, if you are not confused you just do not understand the situation! Our intention is to help investors understand the financial world at a deeper level than is available from so-called analysis courtesy of the mainstream media and Wall Street talking heads. We aim to help people think more clearly in an often disorderly world of investment opportunities and pitfalls, where information overload and outright misinformation are the rule.
[Note: The below was written, except for some rewording, in 2004 when we started this digest. Now the day of reckoning and the accompanying all-too hard landing is here. Get some assets out of the dollar and out of your home country while you still can.]
The investing worldview that heavily influences our article selections is as follows:
- The current debt-stimulated asset boom cannot have a happy ending or “soft landing.”
- We do not know when the day of reckoning will arrive (probably “real soon,” but that has been our guess longer than we care to confess).
- Thus, the challenge is to find intelligent and productive courses of action that will not leave us too exposed to a trend reversal and – perhaps more importantly – have the potential to generate substantial profits when that shift happens.
A not-so-subtle hint of “gloom and doom” pervades this orientation, but preparation given by gloom now can mean avoiding gloom later. And by “preparation” we emphatically mean having some or all of your liquid assets offshore.
[Note: The only assets that did not get hammered when the trend reversal did arrive were cash and gold.]

The “Selected Offshore News” page for each month (through 2008) is primarily comprised of items from the Offshore News Digest – a complementary service to this Finance Digest.
