To investors, retirees, and executives planning cross-border activities, it may look oh, so simple. Occasionally, thinking out loud, one asks "What could possibly go wrong?" And I cannot help but recall this quotation:
"When anyone asks how I can best describe my experience in nearly 40 years at sea, I merely say, uneventful. Of course there have been winter gales, and storms and fog the like... but in all my experience, I have never been in any accident of any sort worth speaking about... I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked, nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort. You see, I am not very good material for a story..."
-- Captain Edward J. Smith, RD, RNR (Commander, RMS Titanic)
