The steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, reputedly the world's richest man in the late 19th century, had some advice for anyone who wished to follow his example: âPut all your eggs in one basket,â he said, âand then watch that basket.â Watching those eggsâaka asset protectionâmay no longer be that simple, if it ever was. But it's no less of a concern for anyone who has managed to amass some wealth. Making money is one thing; keeping it may require an entirely different set of strategies. Our guest today believes âMoney represents power and power represents freedomâ. If you have some money, you have some of both. Itâs better to hold on to it than give it to fast talking politicians or investment gurus. Your challenge is to save your money, avoid expropriation and taxes.
Today we hear from Alex Doulis noted expert and best-selling author on taxation, investing, banking and asset protection. He has written six books providing guidance to Canadians to legally avoid paying tax and hold onto wealth. They are NOT get rich quick books. His background is in finance having received his Chartered Financial Analyst in 1978. He worked in the investment industry in his later years and at aged 50, in 1990, having determined that more than 50 percent of his income was going to the tax men he devised the ultimate income tax avoidance scheme. He quit earning an income and went sailing for 15 years. At that time, he wrote the book âtake your money and runâ. During those years of leisure in the Mediterranean, Alex had the opportunity to write about investing, the Canadian stock market and how it got to be what it is and why the Canadian market is a very dangerous place for you.

Part 2 of The strategic importance of water â an irreplaceable and un-substitutable resource with Stephen Armstrong and Bryan Karney
For centuries, wars have been fought over resources. The need for land, oil, trade routes and other commodities have all led to deadly conflicts throughout history. But soon we could be seeing more fighting over arguably the most precious resource of all - water. Now to set the stage 97% of earths water is salt and 3% is freshwater. 97% of the fresh water is frozen in ice caps and glaciers so a fraction of a fraction is accessible. As the effects of climate change get worse, and the planet gets hotter and drier, the fight for water is only going to intensify. So - where could we see water wars? And how likely are they to actually happen?
