British banks have turned against the Obama tax plans

British banks and brokers may refuse to service American customers will be taken if the tax proposals presented by U.S. President Barack Obama, the Sunday Telegraph.

The decision, which the Americans in London would be difficult to open bank accounts and trade shares, the leaders discussed British banks and brokerage firms, which indicate that Americans care may become too costly. The proposals contained in the first budget message, Obama, aimed at combating the evasion of U.S. taxes overseas. However, British banks argue that they want to force to collect taxes on Americans, thus impractical and expensive litigation.

Andy Thompson of the Association of Investment Managers and brokers serving individual clients (Association of Private Client Investment Managers and Stockbrokers - APCIMS) said: "The cost and administrative rules of the tax regime for the U.S. forced the British investment companies to reflect the withdrawal of the investment of its customers in U.S. equities. This is wrong and shows that the international tax regime that hurts the U.S. economy itself, which he tries to protect. "

The Holy Grail to Investing.

Developed multiple arbitrages for the financial markets. Arbitrages that produce just a few percent a year, to arbitrages that produce over 30 percent a year.

In 2001 i started developing, as of now, a dozen arbitrages. I lock in an X percentage, and Y time later, i close out the arbitrage. Over 30%/yr.

Risk-Free Investing is not only possible, but in abundance. Just that people are told and taught that it is impossible. No risk has been in front of all, but not seen.

The market is unlimited.

The Ultimate business solution that can be offered.

Say one can guarantee a return on investment of 40% a year, then a business could offer their product or service for free.

Lets say i had a solar company, and that company offers Alternative energy to both private and business sector's, then we end up with an interesting business solution.

Well, if i have a cost of $10,000 to install a solar system on a building, and able to sell the install for $20,000, i have $10,000 to invest(40% a year). The purchaser then finances the install over a period of time. I just keep investing the profit till the end of the payment schedule. Thus, the buyer never makes a payment, and gets the product at no cost.
