Third World Investment

[pcbres16]

I was wondering... how do I got about investing in developement in the third world. Lets say I want to build plantations or a rail line, is it possible to stay in the U.S. and run the enterprises from home? Has anyone here had any experience in that?

International business eh? That's a huge scope and many things can get in the way. Law, restrictions, time zones the list goes on. I'd probably invest in stock of development companies. Starting one would probably require years of time and millions of dollars. Not to say it's impossible though.

ahaha... How are you expecting to finance railways.. Plantations etc in economically and politically unstable countries?

Hi,
Yes, there is a lot of opportunity to invest in the third world. The yields are high, there is sovereign gaurantee in USD, etc. I have come across requirements in Africa for around a billion dollars. What kind of scale are you looking at investing?

I was thinking in terms of the country Guyana. They only have 5 phone companies, only like 116 miles of railway. Their dollar is very weak compared to the U.S. dollar. So, i see this as an oppertunity to become a barron in this region. I was also thinking like the west coast of Africa for investment and possibly starting my own corporations there. Can anyone recomend reading or websites i can vist to others doing something like this or companies offering this type of investment?

If your going to cunduct business in the "third world" make sure the country is safe first off. But also make your you don't conduct negativity just like any other American that has done business in a 3rd world country. Treat it as if it was your own

What type of plantations are you thinking about? I was thinking about doing the same somewhere down the road.

Run from home? Surely you jest?

In all honesty, I don't think your personality is setup for this.

Hi,

I live in a third world country, and people say why invest in a country economically and politically unstable, just let me tell you that, investments from other countries or people with money help in a lot of ways for the country to develop and the best one is to create new jobs for unemployed people that are starving, oh yeah, labor is very cheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap here..!

by the way, i live in NICARAGUA, its located in Central America, between Honduras and Costa Rica, and we are a third world country, and let me tell you, a weekend here will change your life..!

Third world countries have huge investment opportunities along with huge risks. Its not just the political and security environment but an overall business climate. For example corruption, labor laws(written and unwritten), import/export, money transfer, incorporating a joint venture. A lot of countries will advertise themselves as very friendly for investments but when you actually go about doing it you will see that all applications move along at a slow rate and the concept of e-government is non-existent making monitoring of the situation very very difficult. In all cases you will most definitely need to visit/stay for some time in the country where you want to invest. I do not think it is wise at all to invest in any country without visiting there and staying there for some time at least.

I of course would plan to live in their enviroment, be it for 1 year or 1 week. I was just wondering if it could be run from my home in Michigan b/c i don't want to live the rest of my life in an unstable nation. If I screw up they'll come looking for my head and i'll be safely tucked away in the U.S.A.

I also don't want to buy into an investment company, i want to own the company that developes the third world.

First, learn how business works, then you can think about doing business internationally. Just from reading I can tell you aren't anywhere near ready to set up an operation like that. I'm not attacking you, just being honest.
