OK so ADR not CDR. Hey BoBo, thanks for doing that spell checking for me. I used
to have a secretary do it for me but not any more and i know spelling is not my
thing (too mundane and clerical for me) but i know older expats like you and Ron
like to do that stuff to keep the old rusty mental gears turning so it's a win
win, good for you and good for me.

One clue you seem to miss when you talk about hiding assets. All major stock
exchanges are computerized so all transactions (your ADRs) have a record of the
transaction and consequently are subject to taxes plus penalties anytime the
government chooses to do an audit. A real audit flag is when you die (and you
guys are not getting any younger) and your will is acted on all the ADR
transactions you hid might be pulled up and your poor grieving widow and young
children could not only lose all the money you left but also be tabbed with the
penalties on your hidden transactions. Yikes! They may then owe the taxman and
be left homeless and broke! So be careful with hiding transactions from taxes.

Just another reason to buy gold coins which when you have them are off the
books.

PS Hey BoBo you know all that info you posted about GERN is right there in
Yahoo Finance at just a click of the mouse so in the future you may want just
provide a link and not type it all in as if it were your ideas which will save
you lot's of time and avoid the possibility someone will accuse you of plagarism
which is presenting info that is not yours as if it really were your work.
Unless of course you like to type, which like spell checking seems to keep older
expats rusty mental machine working in which case you should just put the info
you are copying in guotes ( " " ) so as to avoid charges of plagarism.

Just another helpful suggestion from,
thegoldjackass

diamond in the rough. to date it has lost 0.81 cents per share for the past 12
months. it has had a 12 month high low of $8.50-1.95 and is currently at $7.65.
it will collaborate with general electric's health unit to make stem cell based
drug discovery test and products. geron is the first company to receive food and
drug administration approval to conduct 'early stage' clinical trials on stem
cell based therapy. as for hiding assets from the gov't it can be done easily
here. if social security goes the way of the stage coach america will have a
revolution to contend with. s.s. is indexed to inflation, bring it on. money
should work for you, and thats what i do. cash hording, buying gold, is not
working for you. all that one has to do is be informed enough to make it work
for you to beat, not meet inflation. geez, damn rookies. bobo In

keeping money, something that a dude here named Nascar has expanded on but most
people with a mindset that is about living on a social security check just don't
get. They think that government check will just keep coming, but in about 2
years they will find they are wrong.

transactions there is ALWAYS a paper trail and you can bet the government will
be tracking and looking for their share and if you marry, the little honey and
her divorce attorney will be looking for her share, in a lawsuit anyone can come
after your assets. But if you bought one or two or three American Eagle gold
coins (currently about $950) per month every month over a span of several years
all this money is going OFF the books, no one knows you have it, any
appreciation is not taxed and any divorce, lawsuit etc. can never touch it.

Gold is surety of bread, beer and bootie in the future.
