Investment crowdfunding has opened up a new market for all investors – including non-accredited investors. While debt is less risky than equity, in general, the returns may be limited if a company has a good exit.

It’s not all about the Benjamins, baby — particularly for executive compensation, but increasingly, all levels of employees at firms around the globe. At the start of the first dot com boom in the 1990s, equity emerged as one of the most compelling parts of new hire offer packages for employees at varying levels, according to Matt Simon at MyStockOptions.com.

Dubai now stands alone in the Eastern hemisphere as the nexus point for the wealthy of the Middle East, Asia, Russia, and many Europeans.Similarly, Miami became a top destination for the wealthy through the pandemic and has now emerged as the Dubai of the Western hemisphere. Already considered the “capital of Latin America,” Miami has become the nexus point for the wealthy of the U.S., Canada, and Europe for the same reasons as Dubai: sunshine, lifestyle, and lower taxes.Very much like Dubai, the culture of Miami encourages emigration, success, capitalism, and wealth. The local government, led by Mayor Francis Suarez, actively seeks to expand the city and attract new business.The new peopleFor those who have not visited Miami since before the pandemic, it’s hard to comprehend how much has changed
