The kind and the choice of investment, is often a product of the current environment where one lives in. Hate the place or love it, one may be faced with the challenges of multiple tax systems, regulations and currencies that may pose a threat to ones investment goals and it could also be different and more favourable in another region or new location where one intends to settle or may consider ideal to live in.
Well, it is partially a yes for me in your comment, but I would like to say that the choice of one's investments is also born from their dreams or goals and not just the environment. Speaking of investment, it could be to start a company of your own or business, invest in an asset, have fixed savings for annual returns, or invest in a company still for annual returns, which may not really be based on the environment but also on the goals and dreams you have set for yourself. If you are only referring to business or setting up a company, then you can consider the environment, which is usually a major factor to look into, like you said. I remember one time that a plastic company was set up in my state, but after operating for 1 year and some months, they decided to move out to another state. The reason they left was because the taxes imposed on them by the state government were really too much for them to keep up with, and the environment was already becoming toxic for their normal work activities, so they decided to move to another state.
