I don't know that we are headed for a period of global protectionism but it seems likely given that each country values their domestic needs as more important than others.I still think that with all the cheap money in the system we are bound for inflation, that's why gold is the bet.

Currently I manage global operations teams in media measurement and analytics, which is my current day job and sometimes night and weekend jobs.Real estate interests me as a hobby and as a potential alternative to investing in stocks, bounds, and cash.

However I would argue that anyone serious about FIRE, has become even more serious about it once they witness a global pandemic like this that can suddenly cause serious financial stress on the entire world. 

We help place investors with real estate trained VAs at REVA Global.

At the time the amount of foreign aid and other money pouring into that city was astounding and real estate was the wild west.I ended up in the investment side of the business first, then later moved for several years to national and international tenant rep as an SVP at Equis, where I sourced and managed global accounts and also transacted their deals, more leases than purchases and sales.A few years ago I left and started Angelic with my life companion, angel, who is our CEO (and he's a non-broker, our only non-broker).

Typically runs a few hundred buck each year.Regardless of your flavor of Kool-Aid, global warming is real and insurance actuarials calculate the probability of flooding. 

The market place has started to turn but its certainly going to be a slow battle for it to recover when in our global environment we are fighting the world for good jobs.

Almost everything mops up or can be scraped if they get gum or some other sticky stuff on the floor. 

They have professional jobs with companies that are globally recognized and you probably have one of their products in your pocket right now.

That would be quite a hit.According to this article: http://finance.zacks.com/relationship-between-stock-market-real-estate-prices-10244.html, it doesn't appear there is a direct credible correlation between the performance of both markets: ...there's no confirmation of causation between stock market indexes and demand for homes or their prices....The strength or weakness of the U.S. and global economy appears to influence both stock and home prices.
