you are obviously familiar with iraq - ended up doing anything?

I have a substantial amount of money sitting on deposit here in Ireland (lets face it it is a waste of time) and am looking for alternatives. My criteria: Annual return 7%-10%. Low medium risk No repatriation issues if abroad. No exit issues. I am looking for something hassle free...

I dont understand the confusion about the Irish property bubble - it was so obvious - Ringledman - good post. In simple terms the large medium multiple, the house price earning ratio and the phenomenon of the ingenius 100% mortgages was a great indication of the developing Irish housing...

ACCA more practical? holder has a "trade".

A typical degree takes 3 years. ( Business, Finance). The ACCA would take approximately 3 years. If time is the most important, which one would be the most valuable?

MichaelDes You seem to have some knowledge of Iraq - have you been involved with any business over there. ( not real estate related).

Baghdad? Interesting choice. I have actually thought about this. I have family out there in the security training business and the feedback is that it is still safe. I would focus on land. There is probably going to be more infrastructural investment there than anywhere in the world - What...

OverseasCafe - being a specialist - where would you propose to invest? I would say your advice would be of interest to posters. Have you invested much yourself? By the way, are you not just advertising your website here?

My son is also looking for work at present and he is very well qualified. He has been primarily interested in employment in the Financial Services. One thing he did mention was that when he searches for jobs on Irishjobs under agency,loads appear and when he only opt for employer there is...

Cape Verde is certainly over priced especially the new projects - in fact most of them are new. This country hardly produces anything. Would buy in the Canaries and get similiar weather. It is funny that Eddie has not said anything on Cape Verde as an investment location in recent times.

I agree with the previous poster regarding not purchasing off-plan.

Dont like it.

This particular currency is very weak at present and with everything that is going on you can assume that it will strengthen. I did a deal over there about 8 years ago where I made close to 50% only on the currency strengthening. Obviously this may not happen again, however, I am confident...

I should really clarify what I meant by "not being affected". This particular country do not have the need to bail out their banks like the UK, US, Ireland and the rest. They are also no where near recession. Their housing market is still growing. Unemployment is not on the increase like in...

Thanks for all your posts. The locals are investing ( the ones with money). Not even close to the Nigerian scam you mentioned. No connection to the company that is providing the product. Besides, if it did work out for me the last thing I would be doing is sharing the opportunity. If I...

My understanding is that the buyer would lose their deposit if they were to pull out. No ways around this. So I suppose you can have guarantees if you lend out the amount equal to the deposit.

This seems to be a popular business in this country. The company that I am dealing with has 43 offices and have been in business for about 10 years. The risks are acceptable in relation to the returns and by posting here I was hoping someone could highlight an issue I may be missing...

Thanks for your reply. You raised a very good point, however, I dont have an answer for you. These guys are making huge money. If they are paying me .75% you can be sure they are making a few $$$ on top of that.
