Ecuador Coastal Hotels Savings are now available at Palmazul Coastal Hotel Spa, one of the newest Ecuador beach hotels.

Palmazul sits directly on Ecuador’s beach and is offering an Ecuador coastal Hometel program so you can have a home away from home on Ecuador’s beach…live in luxury on the Ecuador sea at very low cost for a month (or longer) at a time.

Palmazul becomes your home for an Ecuadorian coastal adventure on the Pacific.

This your Ecuador coastal swimming pool really on the beach…tennis courts too…overlooking the Ecuadorian sea.

This empty Ecuador beach, is your front yard at this Ecuadorian coastal hotel.

Here are some snapshots of the Palmazul Coastal Hotel and Spa. Ecuador Living is working with owners Kjetil and Jessica Haugan so subscribers can stay in this brand new modern spa at an extra low rate of monthly rate of $1,499 (less than half the normal daily rate).

The monthly price includes a wonderful served breakfasts from this dining room overlooking Ecuador’s wonderful Pacific coast.

Dinner here is special too. You visit this Ecuadorian fisherman when he brings in his fresh Pacific catch each day back to the hotel….where you can choose your meal. Few Ecuadorian coastal hotels offer this service.

Wonderful Pacific fish, crabs and shrimp that are huge…like this….cooked at the hotel minutes after they are brought off the boat.

Or stroll into nearby Ecuadorian coastal town of San Clemente where the hotel is located for dinner or lunch as we did. Here is one of the many Ecuadorian coastal seafood cafes on or near the beach.

At one of the Ecuadorian coastal cafes a Ceviche is $3.50…like this.

A short walk back to Palmazul Coastal Hotel & Spa gives you miles of empty beach.

From the café we look to the right.

And the left…more empty Ecuadorian beach.

San Clemente is a charming rustic, coastal village, 45 minutes north of the port city of Manta , almost exactly in the middle of Ecuador ’s coast. Palmazul is perfectly located on a dead end road..enjoying proximity to town yet quiet as there is no through traffic. Transportation is also easy and fun…small motorcycles with a seat!

San Clemente is a perfect starting point for exploring Ecuador ’s coast…in the middle so you can reach the north or south of the coast in a day.

Yet in San Clemente , the days are full. You are welcome to join the local fishermen who ride this surf out for the day.

Fish from the jetties, stroll the beach, travel the coast, hike, horse ride, play tennis or just relax around the pool or on the beach.

Of course you can also work. Palmazul offers free wireless broadband for your laptop. Enjoy the peace and quiet of Ecuador ’s coast, but always stay in touch electronically with the rest of the world.

The spa also has a treatment room where you can enjoy a massage.

Your room will have a view and private balcony so your comfort does not end when the sun sets.

As dusk arrives so does the seas breeze…fresh into your room.

Cozy in your bed…

The surf serenades you in a soft night’s sleep…so you’ll be ready for the gentle surf and Pacific waters warmed by Ecuador ’s never ending sun.

“Join Gary & Merri Scott Steve for an Import-Export Expedition in Ecuador “

Exports Expedition $999 Reserve

Exports Expedition $1,499 Reserve

“They’ll go to the markets, famous and obscure; visit the known and unknown…those who hand make, hand craft one of a kind goods. You’ll meet the artists, designers, creators, craftsmen, wholesalers and visit them in their workshops, homes and markets.

“Here is Gary ’s story.”

After 12 years of traveling, digging, exploring and enjoying ourselves all over Ecuador ; we invite the few of you who want to really get out there and experience the Export Trail. You’ll gain exciting ways to increase your security, independence, freedom, wealth and well-being while helping this very deserving country and its indigenous people.

Broaden your horizons as you expand your bank account! Help the poor and gain more fulfillment and fun.

Improve the quality of your life, expand your horizons and reduce the tax you pay as you increase asset protection by having an overseas company and overseas income!

A silver lining comes from Merri’s and my extensive travels throughout Ecuador . We have searched, scoured and scrounged our way across this nation to find special products and goods that you can export in a suitcase and make outstanding profits. We have joined this experience with Steve Marchant’s to create an expedition that is effective and fun.

You’ll go to the high Andes . You’ll see products from Zuleta where they create handmade “green” cotton-one-of-a-kind tableware, shirts, specialty items. You’ll travel everyday to see different markets, crafts people and masters who create special products that will make your eyes gleam with delight…both for their uniqueness and salability.

In addition, over the years we’ve combined this knowledge and experience with contacts in the form of American and European readers who now live in Ecuador . Working with them we have set up office and business facilities to create an export support service that we can now offer to you.

We have even purchased a 180 year old hacienda that is a charming hotel to turn into your business center!

Here’s the hotel. This is where we will conduct the course when we are not visiting markets. Rooms are only $59 a night + tax.

Plus we have an experienced English-Spanish speaking businessman who lives here and can act as your local backup for the business. Steve has lived and worked throughout Europe, Africa, the US and South America and now is committed to his Ecuadorian family so you can feel assured that he is here to help you.

Steve Marchant, our man in Ecuador at Peguche Falls can act as your import export backup.

This combination makes it possible for you to have your own Ecuadorian import/export business, which can be run from your home or in your own Ecuadorian hideaway you’ll be able to buy with your extra profits.

Timing for such a business has never been better!

Exporting has already created fortunes for a few sophisticated individuals. Now because of our knowledge, experience and contacts, a special business is available for you. Until recently, operating an overseas business took a great deal of time and effort to start. This is no longer true.

Technology makes it possible to take your business where opportunity is best and allows you to run this business from anywhere in the world. You can run your export business from an office or at home! The internet makes this more possible than ever before and at the course we’ll share ideas on how to develop and use your website to enhance sales. One session in the course looks at ways that really small businesses can compete on a global basis with the big guys via the internet. We look at how to have a huge impact with search engines. Delegates learn how to literally own words on the web without paying a cent in advertising.

For example the two areas of great focus in Merri’s and my publishing business are “Ecuador Investments” with a special interest in Cotacachi and Galapagos plus “International Currency Investments”.

We use these examples to show how the key is to start small and use long phrases! Then as we learn we take these longer phrases and use them as stepping stones to rank well with shorter, more searched for phrases. We also saw how to blend areas of harmonious focus for better ranking results.

Imagine this. Merri and I have a tiny publishing business. Just two of us run this operation from a remote farm in the Blue Ridge and a small village in Ecuador . Yet look at our recent ranking review. Though we have never spent a penny on ads.. by starting small and building with stepping stones and harmonious focus we now own several words at the MSN search engine.

The plan of our business is to sell reports about Ecuador and our international currency educational service, plus our seminars about these subjects.

If anyone searches for the phrases below here is how our sites ranked February 25, 2007:

Phrase	February 25, Rankings Review
Cotacachi Real Estate	Google #3 #4 #5 #6 MSN #5 #7
International Investments in Cotacachi	Google #3 #4 #6 MSN #1 #3
Investments in Cotacachi	Google #2 #3 #5 MSN #1 #6
International Investments in Galapagos	Google #1 #2 #3 MSN #1 #2
International Investments in Ecuador	Google #4 #5 #7 MSN #1 #2 #3

Chances are if someone anywhere in the world is interested in investments in Ecuador , if they search much on the web, they’ll see one of our sites!

In addition the impact of doing well with those words helps our currency publications and vice versa. Look at these phrases and their rankings.

Some days our tiny business even ranks with the search phrase “International Investments.” We ranked #5 for the phrase International Investments at Yahoo on February 25, 2007.

This is how well the big phrases that support one another can lead toward higher rankings.

The internet is the Colt 45 of business, the great equalizer. If you choose to have your own import-export business you too can let the internet help your business grow for wealth and freedom.

The course, Suitcase Exporting, combines theory, practice and contacts and is conducted by Steve Marchant. All 3 of us have decades of experience living, working and conducting businesses overseas and over a decade of doing business in Ecuador .

I’ll tell you more about the contacts we have developed to help your business in Ecuador and then explain the course in a moment.

First, let me answer the question “Why Ecuador ?”

Ecuador is a tiny South American country but enormously rich in resources and biodiversity as the closest source to North America (just a 3 hour and 45 minute flight). The country is so rich because it has 12 hours of direct equatorial sunlight a day, 365 days a year. This mountain nation has a rich Pacific coast on the west and one of the most incredible diversities in the world. Because this country sits on the equator but is coastal and mountainous, it has the same bio-diversity as the territory ranging from Ecuador all the way to the Arctic Circle .

The country is a tourist delight offering sights, sounds and goods at prices so low it is hard to believe and is one of the least expensive places in the world to enjoy a luxury lifestyle. You can own a grand home, have a maid, cook and driver even with a modest income.

What a great place to start and conduct a business!

As an emerging economy, Ecuador is ripe with business potential, especially now that it has been through its worst depression in history. Yet the nation has incredibly skilled labor that works for as little as a dollar an hour. The US dollar is Ecuador ’s currency by the way (another reason that business is easier to conduct there…no need to worry about exchange rates, etc.).

Everyone in Ecuador wants things from America and Europe . Plus Ecuador offers products and services at rock bottom prices that everyone abroad desires.

In short Ecuador is an incredible bargain basement business opportunity now.

Many of our readers enjoy Ecuador , have developed export products and some have even moved to Ecuador and started businesses and we have used this fact to create a system that can help you develop your own export business.

You can gain independence, have more income, security and enjoy overseas travel. This course is not pie in the sky theory. The knowledge you gain comes from years of experience and from our extensive research plus out reader’s current global export activity.

The course is designed so your international business will be easy to start and keep going (with the help of the contacts if you choose).

The Export Trail is an extensive week long hands on course.

Yet the course is only $999 - $1,499 for a couple. You will work and study directly with Steve Marchant and the contacts we introduce to you. Then you’ll be able to continue your studies (and your business if you choose) through our exclusive email business forum.

You’ll learn why a business in Ecuador is the ultimate lawsuit and tax protection and why global businesses are immune to recessions. You need not suffer during recession, inflation or during market crashes. Fatal economic flaws which ruin others create your profits for you.

From the beginning, the course gives ways to expand your knowledge about having a business in Ecuador plus provides a network (active business people and investors in 82 countries) that can help you find partners, sell products and services and raise money abroad! The goal of the course is to give you more than just knowledge. You are shown specific businesses you can start now and are backed up with follow up support in Ecuador .

The course brings you real, usable knowledge and the after course support so you can put the knowledge you gain into action right away.

The course takes nothing for granted and walks you step-by-step through every aspect of having a business in Ecuador . One lesson for example shows why this is an idea whose time has arrived. Learn the theory of setting up your business, whether to turn your passion into profit (by starting a new business in a field you love) and how to use existing businesses that we have spotted for you to expand).

You will learn how to become involved in an area where your expertise or interest gives you an advantage. Next you will learn about suitcase exporting that avoids shipping and storage. Merri and I have been importing this way for years. We have researched the facts and figures and are using them now.

Our goal is to help you find products that:

#1: Can be sold to easily identified markets.

#2: Can be marked up many times while allowing a fair trade for the indigenous.

#3: Can be imported in a suitcase.

The course gives you practical tips on how to achieve these goals in three ways.

You share the practical experience from the shipments that we have actually incurred in our own business. You learn the problems we encountered and how to avoid them. (This alone will save you far more than the course tuition.)

One incredibly valuable lesson is on how to buy at the source… and how sometimes it is better to not buy at the source. You will also learn how to establish your market… how to sell your inventory and to whom. How to know your product, your market, your source, and your competition.

Most important you will learn how to market your products abroad.

Which products? The Import/Export Expedition has already identified carved wood, architectural and decorative woods designs in San Antonio de Ibarra.

Textiles from Otavalo.

Here is one of the vendors in Otavalo photographed by delegates at our last Import-Export course.

Wood Products from San Antonio de Ibarra

Jewelry and Pottery from San Goqui.

Paintings from all over Ecuador .

This is an example of one type of art that a previous course delegate is having made from recycled paper and a metallic paint. Their Reiki symbol line of art is selling as fast as they can get it produced.

Leathers in Cotacachi.

Flowers grown in Imbabura and much more. Here I am with rose we imported.

I regularly import roses from Ecuador at a fraction of the price you normally pay. Here I am with a bouquet we had delivered to our home in North Carolina for our own use.

You will visit many of these places and more so you can start your business directly from the course after you have learned the fundamentals, visited these places, seen the goods and learned how and meet contacts who can back you up (or even act as a joint venture partners).

You’ll learn about international structures. Learn if you should operate a sole proprietorship, an IBC (International Business Company), overseas trust, offshore limited partnership or use offshore life insurance for tax and asset protection.

Learn how as a small business in one country using overseas structures in another you can reduce tax. Find out how hold assets in overseas structures so you are almost impossible to sue! Other lessons look at expanding your horizons and creating a fantastic lifestyle with benefits of having business friends abroad.

Learn how to enjoy the finest things in life because of international friendships plus how to develop them.

Everything about running your own successful international import/export business is in the course. How to get started, develop a product or service, where to find clients and customers, how to choose hot markets, the risks versus the rewards, where to advertise, asset protection and tax advantages, how to cope with language barriers, using the mails and shipping abroad, when, why and where to have offices, why and how to live abroad or not, the best places to live.

Lessons cover how to use new global technology, find free sources of marketing, set up distributors, how to build and use networks, increase profits and manage and protect profits.

Learn how and where to bank, how to get loans, private finance overseas partners and raise venture capital abroad. Learn how overseas partners can stop the tax man from taking all your profits! Learn how to choose accountants, attorneys, marketing and insurance abroad.

The course helps you choose the business you want. Many professionals look for new beginnings, turning hobbies to profits. For example you’ll learn how to set up tours for golfing, fishing, horse riding and other hobbies can be successful businesses. The contacts alone are worth ten times the cost of the course.

We have developed contacts with top businessmen, bankers, accountants, attorneys, marketing experts, business consultants, agents all over the country that can help you, large or small, full or part time.

There you have it, valuable contacts and knowledge about timely and fulfilling business opportunities that you can cash in on now. Regardless of whether you want your business to make millions, or just add excitement and adventure in your life, to reduce tax or even live abroad, the Import/Export Expedition can help you get involved with something you love and turn after tax costs into tax deductible expenses. Whether you have a successful business, want a part time business for change or as job security, this course can be of enormous value to you.

The week long course is only $999 ($1,499 for a couple). This is nothing compared to the incredible education you gain and the importance of the knowledge for you and your family’s wealth now.

Space makes it impossible to explain everything in the course, but I am convinced if you try it, you will find it improves your entire way of life! There has never been a time when the risk of higher tax, greater unemployment and investment dangers were higher in North America , but neither has the opportunity for small businesses abroad been so outstanding.

Expand your borders now! Increase your economic security freedom, independence and success. Gain a fortune, enjoy life more and help those who are less fortunate.

We stress that this is a course combining theory and practicality…but this is a true expedition! You’ll be having fun as you view products, interview, bargain, meet, search and many will even buy. Those who are just looking for a “classroom experience in a hotel” should not attend. Everyone will be out in the field looking and examining and finding.

Join Gary, and Merri Scott on this Import/Export Expedition and learn how your Ecuador business can be made easy today.

How is this for an Ecuador on the beach front yard?

Would you like this type of view of property on Ecuador ’s beach from your front room?

Would a one minute amble, if this were your local Ecuador beach property restaurant, do good for your heart…and soul?

Is this close enough to the beach? Remember that tides and high waves diminish as they grow closer to the equator and this beach is on the equator…in Ecuador . There are no hurricanes on the equator and much less worry about coastal erosion.

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you’ll want to attend one of our 2008 Ecuador Coastal real estate tours. All of these properties are at San Clemente , the focal point of our next Ecuador Coastal Property Tour.

Merri and I have scoured Ecuador for 13 years and have driven its coast, top to bottom, again and again. We finally settled in the high Andes …but have not forgotten the beautiful Pacific.

I am going to invite you to share this with me but before we look at what we’ll see on the tour, let’s look at some basic truths about Ecuador ’s Pacific coast.

You may have read that you can buy a beach front lot for $5,000….or a beach house for $25,000. Perhaps you can…but…be sure you check it out before you look. Prices have risen since we first started taking groups to the coast over a decade ago and … there are risks. On our tours we check properties… in advance to make sure you don’t end up spending a whole day to end up viewing something like this.

More on the tour in a moment…first some geography….and three more warnings.

There are four Provinces on the coast, Esmeraldas, Manabi, Guayas and El Oro. Three main cities are Esmeraldas in the north. Manta (Manabi) in the middle and Salinas Guayas) much further south on the coast.

Development radiates from each of these towns. There is much less developed property between each.

There is enormous growth potential in each of these areas…but let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, the three warnings, first.

Warning #1: Health

We rarely go south of Salinas into South Guayas or El Oro Province. The beach gives way to mangrove…conditions are more primitive and there are health concerns. For example one authoritative medical website wrote:

“5 persons have died so far in 2006 because of meningitis and hemorrhagic dengue, conditions that are affecting coastal areas in Ecuador , Dr. Ivan Zambrano, Ecuadorian Minister of Health, announced on Thursday, 09.02.2006. He pointed out that the main epidemics caused by the intense rainy season are classic dengue fever (561 confirmed cases) and hemorrhagic dengue fever (23 confirmed cases, including 3 deaths). He indicated that coastal provinces mostly affected by dengue fever are Guayas (310 cases) and El Oro (Peruvian Border, 118 cases). Dr. Zambrano stated that the sanitary situation in Ecuadorian coast is ‘worrisome’ because of the effects of heavy rainfalls.”

If you plan to go south on the coast, see a MD and get your vaccinations. Merri and I do not take shots so we generally avoid this part of the coast. Plus the water is not so good on Ecuador ’s coast. Unlike our high Andes hotel, El Meson de las Flores, where we drink water from the tap, we drink only bottled water…anywhere on Ecuador ’s coast.

Warning #2: The Shakes

There are also…like in California , earthquakes. The Andes and this region is a new geological location (in geological terms) so this area is more prone to the shakes than for example our home in our other home North Carolina’s Blue Ridge which is a very old, very settled geological formation. The equator is delightfully free of hurricanes and typhoons…but I guess anywhere there is a huge body of new mountains and large amounts of ocean there is some risk of natural disaster. Earthquakes are this regions nemesis…and yes, there is earthquake insurance.

Warning #3: Colombian Guerillas

Plus we avoid Esmeraldas…too close to the Colombian border. When you are in doubt about an area, a simple rule of thumb is …”follow the missionaries”. They are a fearless lot, going places where most people won’t. If missionaries won’t go somewhere you probably should not either. The Latin America Missionary web site recently wrote about Esmeraldas:

“Miami (LAMNS)—New reported threats against Americans in Colombia are once again causing U.S. missionaries to be careful about their movements. Along Ecuador ’s coast near the city of Esmeraldas , Batchelor reported that missionaries have had to take caution.”

There you have it…three warnings. There you have it…three warnings. This may seem a strange way to invite you on a tour, but having taken many hundreds of people there…all I might add without a single mishap…I know that some people should not come to Ecuador’s coast. I hope I have weeded the more particular who only like their sand and surf, mopped, groomed, with casinos, shopping centers and lots of entertainment. If you love immaculate, sterile, cold, paved, polished, flashy or high rise…do not come on this tour! Stop reading here.

This may seem strange because you may have heard before from those who sell land on the coast. They may forget to mention these warnings because they want you to buy land on the coast. Selling that land is their job.

Frankly…I do not care if you buy Ecuador coastal property or not. We are publishers and we sell information, contacts and tours. Our obligation is to you our reader and we never take commissions or any reward for the sale of land. In fact one time a developer in this area gave us a fully serviced lot with incredible ocean views. He appreciated that 16 of our tour delegates had purchased lots from him. We were polite but we refused to accept the gift.

We are looking after you our reader not property sellers! In fact we will encourage you not to buy real estate on your first trip…though I have to admit we are often ignored.

Having said this…for the adventurers and even slight adventurers, if you would like to see several hundred miles of coastline that is empty, wild, wonderful, alive, beautiful paint peeled and a bit rough around the edges…then read on!

You will love this tour! We have a stretch from 30 or 40 miles north of manta all the way south to Salinas …several hundred miles of coast line with almost unlimited beauty and opportunity. There is no more safe and efficient way to see as much real estate on a whirlwind trip than with our tour.

We will fly from Quito to Manta but will not stay there in this port city long. We’ll immediately head north to San Clemente where our friend of a decade Kjetil Haugan is developing a small, luxury spa and residential development.

Kjetil is a Norwegian who moved to Ecuador after being the administrator of Atlanta ’s Olympic Village. He has become a prominent businessman, owning the largest Spanish school in the country along with several Galapagos cruise ships.

We have done business with Kjetil many times and always been pleased.

Here is a shot of how the spa construction looked a month ago. Chances are this spa is nearly completed now.

Here are some closer shots as we walk round of the construction.

The back.

The inside.

The top.

And bottom…the pool.

The entrance sign.

A view from the spa to the beach

We’ll look at land next door to the spa where Kjetil is developing. He is expecting 30-35 lots to make more space for green areas…plus 3 terrace buildings with 4 to 5 apartments in each building..

The owners of the houses here will enjoy the spa as their community center…all the spa facilities will be available to home owners. Nice…living in a spa on a beach, Palmazul.

Here is the land taken from the spa construction.

Here is a shot taken from the top of the land. Imagine this view!

Then we’ll head south looking at projects, condos, houses and lots for sale along the way.

We’ll go as far south as this beach.

Depending on how many properties we try to cram in, we may make it…perhaps for lunch to this wonderful eco resort Alandaluz…which also has a residential community nearby.

We may even get as far south as a charming resort called Atamari. Here is a view from one of Atamari’s rooms.

What specific properties will we see? I do not know. We research the tour just before we start, inspecting land and buildings that are for sale at that moment so we can maximize the efficiency of your trip. Our goal will be to find a cross section of property…land like this lot we saw on a previous tour.

Houses like this….on, just off and near the beach.

And condos like this one currently listed in Manta for $35,000.

This project may be interesting because like Kjetil’s project financing is available. The current listing on these condos says that there is a 7% mortgage 15 years with down payment of $3950.00. However we have learned that there is often a stretch…perhaps some fine print… between the listing and the reality so this will have been reviewed in advance.

In the end what you enjoy are three days of travel with like minded souls led by experienced travelers and real estate buyers (Merri, me and/or Steve Marchant), who know the area…who can provide you with all the important reliable contacts you need…attorneys…property inspectors…architects and brokers who can work with you…in English.

I cannot guarantee you will find a property you will love. Even if you do, I’ll probably try to talk you out of rushing in. What I can guarantee is a savings of time…trouble and many miles and many properties to see on wonderful surf and sand.

The tour fee includes the courses and all internal travel but does not include round trip air fare from Quito to Manta.

The tour fee does not include accommodations food or air fare to and from Ecuador.

* See How to Earn 236.47% with Multi Currency Portfolios in Less Than a Year!

*Learn Why Emerging Markets Offer More Potential

* Learn How to Market Ecuador Business Opportunities

* Learn Seven Money Making Economic Distortion Secrets

I invite you to share a course with Merri, Jyske Bank and me in the courtyard of our Cotacachi hotel.

Learn seven secrets on how to earn extra profits as you travel, invest, do business and or live anywhere in the world.

* Be a Multi Currency Investor as you Borrow Low-Deposit High

* Travel or Live Wherever You Choose

Here are a few of the subjects we review at this course.

#1: How 100 years of global economics can enhance your investments and business now. Learn how history reveals currency distortions that create opportunities to borrow low and deposit high. For example right now you can borrow Japanese yen at below 2%, Swiss francs below 3% to invest in business, real estate or other currencies that pay 5%, 6%, 7% and even more.

Subjects in the global investing sessions include a review of global stock markets, currencies and interest rates and how they are shifting versus the greenback.

Another session looks at where to invest globally right now…plus how to spot the hottest trends before they become hot.

We also cover how to cash in on currency shifts through the Multi-Currency Sandwich (Borrow Low-Deposit High) tactic. This is a perfect time for such investments because they diversify currencies and take advantage of the currency distortions that now plague investors around the world.

Currency experts from Jyske Bank (one of the major currency trading banks in the world) will speak at that course on this subject.

For educational purposes we developed five Multi Currency portfolios with Jyske Bank that we track for informational purposes.

Jyske Bank is the second largest Danish bank, with 450,000 domestic clients, 35,000 international clients, USD 23 Billion in total assets, and a moody’s rating of A1.

Jyske Bank Private Banking division is a business unit of the Jyske Bank Group, and they cater exclusively for international private investors from 180 different countries. They have offices in Copenhagen , Switzerland and Gibraltar and Fuengirola and Cannes .
Jyske Bank is one of the most experienced currency trading banks in the world and trades 24 hours a day. Many bank’s use Jyske Bank as their currency trader and their daily turnover is 50 billion dollars.

Jyske has over 35 years’ specialization in private banking and Denmark is ranked by Moody’s as the safest country in the world to have a bank account in.

Jyske Bank uses a good value system as well and their affiliated fund management company has been rated number one by Morningstar. They use this value system to help us select shares for our Multi-Currency Portfolio Educational Tracking Service.

These diverse portfolios have all been both be profitable, but at times also dropped quickly. At the course we will look at how and why and what investors can do to gain from this type of investing.

These portfolios offer the advantage of diversification, in several cases into nine currencies and nine different investments of which more than half have strong A to AAA ratings.

We will review any changes made in these portfolios and update what and how currencies and interest rates may move in the months ahead.

#2: We’ll look at emerging stock markets and emerging bond markets as well. 2007 was the seventh consecutive calendar year in which international investments in emerging markets outperformed developed markets. In 2007 the MSCI overall Emerging Markets benchmark was up 23.8 % in US dollars compared to the MSCI World Total Return Index being down 0.08 % in US dollars.

For one year the same emerging markets index (in US dollars) is up 58.99% compared 23.05 for the same world index. Over three years the index on emerging markets is up 37.88% versus 17.27% for the world index. The emerging market index is up 35.63% compared to the world’s index rise of 18.43% over five years.

You’ll learn why in 2007, high equity returns were recorded in Peru with a triple digit percentage gain (+103.8 %), Turkey (+64.5 %) and Brazil (+58.6 %) and why these may not be the top 2008 markets. Then we’ll update 2007 and what could happen in 2008!

#3: One session will especially focus on alternate energy and water. For example we’ll see why Hyflux (water cleaning membranes mainly in China ) has risen from $1.50 to $5 in less than a year ago. We’ll look at Vestas (windmills) shares also up from $50 to $106. Plus there will be an in depth review of bio diesel that becomes profitable at $30 (Brazilian) and $48 ( U.S. ) per barrel oil prices. You can see above that our Green portfolio which invests in environmental firms is the top performer up 236.47% in seven months!

We’ll look at two shares, Vestas (wind energy) and Q-Cells Ag (solar energy) that are in our portfolios and more than doubled last year.

This course goes far beyond just investing in stocks, bonds and currencies. Other sessions cover:

#4: How to cash in on distortions in global real estate in Ecuador ! We have gained much more than just profit and business and investing opportunity in our global real estate searches. We have gained incredible luxury, heart- warming sweetness, breath-taking beauty, much better health and pleasant surprises at every turn. Having lived, worked and played in Ecuador now for over a decade, we’ll focus heavily there.

Ecuador has some of the most magnificent pieces of mankind’s infrastructure that has been almost totally unused and offer grand investment potential. We will review many properties in Ecuador and why this Andean nation has special value now.

This course is for investors and for those who have a business to expand and for those who want to start a business for fun and profit. Business sessions include:

#5: How to have an Import Export Business anywhere. We’ll especially zero in on Ecuador export business opportunities in carved wood, ceramics from Cuenca, carpets from Guano, silver and gold jewelry from Chordeleg, paintings and art, textiles from Otavalo, leathers from Cotacatchi and flowers from the Andes. For example you’ll learn how factories make bread dough jewelry that can be fashioned into high school and college mascots and purchased for pennies apiece (to be sold for dollars abroad). You see how the only native American owned mill produces coats, shirts, sweaters, hats, gloves and scarves in school colors of your choice (at really low prices). These can be sold for ten times their cost.

#6: How to write and use publishing, seminars and the Internet to create your own global business from your home.

#7: How to use the latest tax savings and offshore legal structures to gain the ultimate asset protection.

This course offers even more. You will learn how to gain more than cash-freedom, friendship, financial security, prestige, tax savings, legal protection, fun, adventure, self-sufficiency, fulfillment and more satisfaction…by combining very small amounts of money with your time and energy.

We even offer special massage programs and Merri attends to the cooking to make sure every aspect of this course is special for you.

“ Ecuador has it all. Beauty, convenience, low cost and opportunity.”

I wrote these words over 13 years ago when Merri and I first visited this unique equatorial country to look at Ecuador real estate as an investment.

The country has really paid off financially over the last decade, but as is so often the case what we thought we were looking for was only a smidgen of what we received. Ecuador has brought our lifestyles so much more than just extra cash.

We have gained much more than just profit and business and investing opportunity. We have gained incredible luxury, heart- warming sweetness, breath-taking beauty, much better health and pleasant surprises at every turn. Yet having lived, worked and played there now for over a decade, we are just beginning to feel how really special and what enormous joys and pleasures this tiny country has to offer. Ecuador real estate opportunity is just one small part.

Slightly smaller than the state of Nevada , Ecuador has four highly distinct zones, the Amazon jungle basin, the Andean central highlands, the Coastal Plain and the Galapagos. Not only do these four regions offer highly different lifestyles and opportunities distinct from each other, each also offers unique sights, sounds and thrills that you cannot obtain anywhere else in the world. Yet it is all so compact!

Nothing is much more than an hour or two away from any other place. In Ecuador you encounter cultures, knowledge, birds, plants, sights, scenes and sounds you will not find anywhere else in the world.

Yet there is even more that is hard to explain. A sweetness that lies just below the surface permeates all things and makes them somehow enjoyable in ways that are difficult to describe. Merri and I have taken almost 2,000 investors to this country since we first began.

Again and again they say the same. “I don’t know what or why it is that I feel so good here, but I love it. I have to come back again.”

Perhaps it’s the random, jumbled, apparent lack of order in a society where things do work. The airport is organized and gets better every time we arrive. Despite having eight Presidents in the last nine years the political system does move forward ( Ecuador is South America ’s oldest democracy), the legal system does work. Perhaps it is the way things work differently there. Perhaps it is the incredibly low cost of fresh fruit, clean air and pure water. Whatever it is, many of those who have accompanied me have (like Merri and me), invested, bought homes, moved there full or part time and bettered their lives in a multitude of ways.

Our upcoming International Investing and Business Course in Ecuador explains how you can enjoy and cash in on this wonderful country as well as global economic distortions by having a global investing and business view. We will conduct this course at our Ecuador home and hotel Meson de las Flores .

Here is an excerpt from a delegate who attended our last International business and investing course.

“This is a LONG overdue thank you for the MARVELOUS International Investing and Business seminar you held at the farm in September. I had an awesome time and made some wonderful new friends.

“Thanks for your wonderful vegetarian chili and hospitality at the farm, Merri. You have a lot of energy! I also enjoyed your talk at the seminar - I was hoping you would share some of your own story and you did! The massage Sandi gave was heavenly. Gary , the information you gave, especially the history of economy, was excellent. Thomas and Peter were absolutely outstanding too - I look forward to exploring an overseas bank account. I wish you continued success in all your endeavors and hope to meet up with you again at another seminar. Thanks so much!”

Previous course delegates have included business people, brokers and professionals, doctors, dentists, lawyers, retirees, couples wanting to get into business together, insurance agents and marketers who want to enhance their existing business or build a second sources of income.

If you want to invest globally or have your own full or part time business, you should sign up for this course at Meson de las Flores .

Those who attend can also stay on and inspect real estate for sale in the area.

Space is always limited at the hotel and is on a first signed up, first available basis. Don’t miss this opportunity. Sign up as soon as possible and share the satisfying, profitable and exciting lifestyle that being international brings with Merri and me.

Your friend in Ecuador ,

Gary Scott

P.S. Stay on and enjoy a two day real estate tour. Details are http://www.garyascott.com/catalog/ecuador-real-estate

Here is what another delegate wrote after attending one of our courses.

“Thank you both for an enlightening, memorable, informative five days that were filled with life-changing ideas and wisdom from you two. It was indeed an honor to attend your seminar. I loved your stories and enjoyed hearing the joys and challenges of your journey… so far. And look forward to the next chance we get to share some time with you.

“Merri, your meals were outstanding! Wholesome food and delicious. At the meal we had when we reached the airport we just looked at each other and shook our heads at the difference between the cooking we had experienced for the past few days and the usual restaurant fare.

“ Gary , the passion and understanding that flows from your presentations embraces the group and magic happens. The wisdom you shared from your life experiences was priceless and I can’t express in words the effect it had on me. Thanks again!”

I have invited two investment analysts from Jyske Bank to speak. Jyske Bank is one of the leading international investing and currency managers in the world. Their trading room process $50 billion of business a day. So this next course makes a huge amount of global investing information available to you.

Delegates love the warm, colonial atmosphere so conducive to learning, the friendly staff and really low room rates ($59 to $79 plus 22% service and tax). This includes a delightful and huge breakfast including fresh squeezed tropical juice, fresh fruit, granola or quinoa, eggs, ham or bacon, toast and coffee, tea or herbal tea served Al Fresco in the sunny courtyard. Ecuador ’s weather in November is normally perfect, 50 degrees at night and mid 70s during the day with full sunshine…a nice break from northern autumn’s grey.

Online Writers and Publishers Courses Self Fulfilled - How to be a Self Publisher

E-mail Correspondence Course. Order Here $249.

How can we keep up in this fast paced world? Where do we find time for God, family, charity, and our friends? How can we rediscover the easier life we led with sun filled, pine needle covered, dirt paths and time to stroll?

One way is to turn our passions into profit, by doing what we love through our own writing and publishing business.

This fact was summed up in a quote from Sir Arthur Keith, “The course of human history is not determined by what happens in the skies, but by what takes place in our hearts”.

The keys to success are something each of us holds inside and there are seven specific steps we can take to slow down, raise our spirits and gain everlasting wealth.

These seven steps are revealed in our online writers and publishers course Self Fulfilled - How to be a Self Publisher. Merri and I humbly blend the hard facts we have learned in the publishing business with some of the world’s greatest wisdom so you can learn how to avoid the fate of most people who are doomed by never-ending fluctuations in their freedom, happiness and wealth.

Whatever you do, whether you are a small investor or have huge institutional investments to manage, whether an employee, business leader or professional looking to direct your clientele more accurately, the ideas in this online writers and publishers course can help you.

This online correspondence course covers publishing in print, taped and electronic using the computer and internet.

The goal of this course is to help you be free so you can earn anywhere in the world, being involved in what you love.

We help those who would like to write. We help those who want to publish other people’s information.

There are three main types who use the course. First there are those who want to create and self publish their own product for profit. For example we have a chiropractor who wants to write and sell a report on how to relieve pain. He has retired from his regular practice so this would be his full time business.

Second this course can be especially helpful for business people, brokers and professionals, insurance agents and marketers who want to enhance their existing business or build a second source of income. Plus we have a photographer who wants to publish post cards and calendars with natural medicinal plants.

Publishing can be used to shift the cost of marketing into a profit center that enhances your existing business who want to publish a product that supports their existing business. For example we have a real estate broker from Florida who is coming that is publishing a report about her area that she intends to use to gain more re buyers.

Most important in the course is that we help you learn how to market publications because having the correct focus is of vital importance to attain financial success.

The third group who benefit are those who want to just write and let others publish their material. For example we have a Doctor who wants to be able to write articles in magazines that will enhance his professional reputation and perhaps attract business.

The fee for this online course is $249 and can be deducted from future Writer’s Camp fees. Details of the writer’s Camp are at www.garyscott.com
