Mate I haven't taken any notice of the NRL since Big Mal, Daley and Stewart played for the Raiders Jet-lag yes, and they were testing player combos 1st couple matches. I think the tests will be great, but hell Allblacks are so strong.

I'd love to see the Lions remind them what losing is. We all have to be reminded of that from time to time. Kadachiman you're very welcome but traffic will be crap with this storm. Next game you're on, if you're serious. I know the Lions didn't get off to a great start loosing 2 games already but they were give only 1 warm-up match and no time to get over the jet-lag.

Im a massive rugby fan. Following the Lions tour and cant wait to see how they fare against the All Blacks on Saturday. To rugby league fans: Aussie lamb chops and pork and chicken are already sizzling on the BBQ. There has been zero trouble when I have been there. Not big balls at all. More likely to get trouble in Cotabato city than there.

You have big balls bro. I trust that was long before the troubles and you won't be going back any time soon. I'd keep the GF away from her family too as if word gets out she has a white BF she because an attractive target. GFs family lives in the Pigkawayan township right on the highway. RT is reporting it as well not that I am suggesting any affiliation between Fox and RT mind you.

And it quotes AFP as saying they believe it is intended as a second front to drain resources away from Marawi. This shit is getting serious. DU30 is on the phone with Jokowi about all the Indonesian terrorists now on Mindanao. Now given the source ome must view it with a grain of salt as much salt as in that lake in Utah ; http: Nobody will ever beat Mayweather while the fight is in the US with American judges unless Mayweather is knocked out cold as a maggot.

No American judge will be the one to hand their undefeated golden child his first loss. So the question is Can Conor McGregor Beat Floyd Mayweather? My Sports bet doesnt give him a great Chance.

They have a PHilippines Equity Mutual Fund. Also invests in a basket of Phils stocks. SunLife has an office in Angeles, if that's where you are. And Makati and other places in the Manila area. Anyone who is a U. Passive Foreign Investment Company PFIC The tax treatment of PFICs is extremely punitive compared to the tax treatment of similar investments that are incorporated in the U.

High taxation rates are not the only big disadvantage of PFICs for American investors. The other major complicating factor of PFICs is the onerous task of simply complying with IRS reporting rules for PFICs That is not correct relative to the ETF I bought under symbol EPHE. There are several reasons the article you reference is not relevant to a NYSE ETF. In addition, I cashed out of this ETF over a year ago and only paid long term capital gains. Skuz is referring to investments by American citizens organized in other countries like mutual funds not based in the USA and the warning he posted is well worth heeding.

He was not referring to an ETF like EPHE which is organized by ishares US. As you stated, for an American citizen owning EPHE which is listed on a US stock market, it is like owning any other ETF, PFIC rules do not affect it. To answer the OP's question directly, owning something like the ETF called EPHE is probably far and away the best way for an American to invest in the Philippines stock market.

The expense ratio is about 0. Besides avoiding IRS paperwork, you will probably encounter much lower taxes in the US than in the Philippines. One oddity of EPHE compared to other country or regional ETFs is that the Philippines has a very high tax rate on businesses, and this is carried over to the ETF by reducing the dividends to pay those taxes. But you will usually get that money back when you file your US income taxes via the foreign tax credit.

Keep in mind that the Philippines investable stock market capitalization is only about 0. So one should be careful about investing too much in such a small fraction of the world economy. However, there can be some advantage to such an investment for someone spending primarily in Philippines Pesos as it serves as both a currency hedge and as a proxy to real GDP growth in the Philippines which tends to be correlated to the real prices of services in the economy.

Posted 25 January - Your Government will not let you treat for what it is. They require that it is treated as a PFIC. Posted 04 February - The thing you can do is invest with your IRA and if it's a Roth IRA you won't pay any taxes. A traditional IRA you will pay taxes when you pull the money out only.

All my stock market plays be it individual stocks or mutaul funds are done with IRA's and I do not pay any tax on the gains. You could not invest in foreign mutual funds i.
