In 1984 he wrote How To Get A Second Passport which sold tens of thousands of copies around the world -- and was shamelessly plagiarized in Greece, the Philippines, the UK and Canada.

He was Hong Kong correspondent for the New York Journal of Commerce in the late ’70s, a columnist for The Australian Stock Exchange Journal and Business Traveller, and his articles on investing and other themes have appeared in Reason magazine, Time, The Australian, Liberty, The South China Morning Post, and elsewhere. He is also co-editor (with Martin H. Greenberg) of two collections of science fiction stories: Give Me Liberty and Visions of Liberty (both published by Baen Books). He has also been a featured speaker at seminars in the USA, London, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and elsewhere, and has appeared on TV and radio all over the world.

Since 1991, in addition to helping start five new (and highly successful) investment publications, he has been a marketing consultant and acted as a counsellor. A graduate in economics from the Australian National University, he began a PhD program in economics at UCLA. He is also a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming.

Six years ago he adopted the Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett and George Soros himself, sold all his business interests and now lives solely from the returns on his investments. He also coaches investors who want to transform their investment results — and works on improving his tennis game.
