Subject: Re: OK - so now what?
In a way, the most robust thing to do is probably just plain a lot of work: don't limit yourself to public markets. Buy (or start) a dry cleaning business in Manchester, and pocket the modest profits. Choose line(s) of business and jurisdiction(s) to suit your tastes--there are surprisingly few restrictions on foreigners starting or owning private businesses in a lot of countries if you stay away from finance and news.


PS, fascinating site.
businessesforsale.com
Pick a country and start browsing!
They even have a category for companies with management in place.

Not a recommendation, I've never dealt with them.
