5 Can You be Inconspicuous Abroad? By Vincent Paez

Let’s face it; the world is inherently a dangerous place. When traveling abroad, I prefer Speech: to go to the less dangerous locations, simply because I don’t feel like being pick-pocketed, Try not to use obvious American lingo. The following are some examples and suggested kidnapped, or taken advantage of in any way. I want to sightsee and do business and be alternatives: safe. So I don’t travel to risky places like Nigeria or Yemen. But even in the safer places, like Example: Alternative Western Europe, China or Japan, I like to play it safe and not draw too much attention to Y’all You (or all of you) myself as an American. Whether we like it or not, Americans are targets abroad, because of Awesome Great our country’s politics and we always carry money. I would never deny that I am American, Bathroom Toilet if someone were to ask me my nationality. But I prefer to not draw attention to myself as The word “I” Don’t use it so much. Most cultures don’t talk about them- an American to stay as safe as possible. selves like we do. So how does one do this? How does one neutralize looking or seeming American while Oh my God! Don’t react so strongly to things. We’re more vocal than other traveling abroad? It is not easy, because we are who we are, and it is extremely difficult to cultures. hide who we are. I have a few tips that I always follow, and I’d like to share them with you, F bombing/cussing Don’t do it. We cuss more than any culture I have encoun- in case you ever need them. tered. Complaining We are used to great products/service. Don’t complain if you Dress code: don’t get it. Wear regular shoes, not sneakers (tennis shoes). Sneakers are a dead give-away that you Criticizing You are not in your country. Don’t criticize or compare things are American. Most of the world is more formal than us, and sneakers are used for sports, to the USA. not for travel through an airport. There are very comfortable shoes available that you can Talking politics Don’t. You’ll give yourself away for sure. use instead. If you do wear regular shoes, men, do not wear penny-loafers. Only Americans Your life story Only Americans tell their life story to the waiter. Don’t. wear penny loafers. Don’t wear khakis. Only Americans wear khakis. So if you are wearing khaki pants with penny loafers in a foreign city, you might as well carry a big sign saying, Food: “Hi, I’m American.” We are also the only nationality that wears blue jeans, sneakers and a Try new things without a smirk on your face. Yes, it may be gross to you, but you need to suit jacket. Where this combination came from, I have no idea, but I see it often abroad show no disdain for the strange flavor. After you’re done, order something you know and worn by Americans. And finally, don’t wear sweats abroad. Sweats are for exercising, not like. But try to keep it simple like bread. Don’t ask for peanut butter and jelly, because we for traveling. are the only culture that eats PB&J. If you don’t drink or smoke, you can turn down alcohol or a cigarette, but if you go on and on about how you don’t drink or smoke, because it’s not healthy, you’re trying to lose weight, blah, blah, blah, they will know that you are American. Just say, “No thank you.”

Nightlife: There are bars and nightclubs which cater to Westerners and Americans. I love to explore these, especially if they have live music. But such places can be targets for people who are out to hurt us. I would suggest having fun, while being vigilant and aware of things going on around you. It would be a mistake to get sloppy drunk in a pub with all Americans, so that you could not detect any trouble around you.

Travel problems: Travel can be frustrating at times. Flights get cancelled. Hotel reservations sometimes have a way of disappearing. Quality of food can vary tremendously. When faced with these problems abroad, try to be as patient as possible. You can avoid the reputation of the “Ugly American” by being pleasant and patient. Most of the time, you will find that people abroad are very interested in you as an Ameri- can. They see so many American movies and hear American music. Most of the time, you will be greeted with politeness and interest. Eventually, people that you meet will figure out that you are American. Still, sometimes you may want to tone it down a little and be inconspicuous. So go and enjoy your international trip and leave the penny loafers at home.

8 INVESTING 101 By Nicholas Shevland If you own bonds… Fore!

On a busy summer day there is a pretty good chance I’ll hear someone scream “fore” when I’m out on the golf course. This is the universal language for “duck and cover and hope not to get hit by a golf ball.” After the Fed raised interest rates on December 16th, it seems the bond market is screaming, “Fore!” Many bond investors might be in for a rude awakening if interest rates start to rise. This is because most bonds follow the standard rule that as interest rates rise, bond prices go down. Let me explain with a grossly overstated example. Imagine, today, you invest $100 in a 10 year US Treasury Bond with a 2% interest rate. If you hold the bond for 10 years, you’ll get $2 of interest each year, for the next 10 years, plus your $100 back at the end of 10 years. Fast forward to five years from now and assume interest rates on a 5 year US Treasury bond moved up to 15% (remember this is an exaggerated example). For whatever reason, you’re in a predicament and need to sell your bond after five years of ownership. However, here is the problem with rising interest rates: Why would someone buy your bond with a 2% interest rate when they can buy the same bond and get a 15% interest rate? The unfortunate answer for someone wanting to sell their lower interest rate bond is that they’ll have to sell it for less than they paid. After doing some math, the going market rate in this example would be: $56.42 as opposed to the $100 originally invested. Now, the above example is an illustration meant to highlight what happens to bonds when interest rates rise and is quite far from current reality. The truth about bonds is that they are not all the same. There are floating rate bonds, high yield bonds, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, short term bonds, long term bonds and more. They all behave very differently when interest rates rise. The key to investing in bonds going forward is to have a plan. The next 30 years will most likely look a lot different than the past 30 years. If you’re searching for a relationship to help you establish this plan, take 10 minutes to plan for the next 10 years and reach out to me, Nicholas Shevland.
