Are you in the financial sector, overworked, and worried about layoffs? Are you willing to relocate for the right job? Are you aware that there’s a market where prospects are good for job growth, you won’t have to work too hard, and they’re more relaxed on age-of-consent issues than in Greenwich? It’s called Cambodia and it’s calling your name.

All the nonsense that’s keeping you busy in New York – watching the markets, reading research, analyzing companies, making trades? Is going to be way, way less pressing in your new surroundings.

It’s impossible to invest with any of the companies listed on the Cambodian stock exchange because there are no companies listed on the Cambodian stock exchange.

And don’t worry that you’ll be taking a step back in your career. Neighboring Laos’s stock exchange is booming, insofar as it lists two companies:

[I]n the first days after opening the Laos exchange zoomed more than 80%. It dropped precipitously afterward, and remains volatile. Still, those bumps in the road are expected in such spunky places; it’ll be a long time before they are grown and tamed.

    After a long, hot day touring Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, I settled into the Red Piano bar in downtown Siem Reap hoping that the Brangelina clan was in town if just to get a glimpse of Angelina’s luscious lips. Instead, three beers later and sitting in a room chock full of French tourists, a young Cambodia girl came up to me and said, “The stock market Buddha would like to see you.” Intrigued, I followed her. I soon found myself in the presence of a monk clad in saffron colored robes. nHe asked me, “Are you American?” n”Yes,” I replied. n”Where do you live?”n”In New York,” I responded. n”Do you work in finance?” n”Yes,” I said, “at UBS.” n”Ah, OK,” at which point he proceeded to place an Ipad in my hand. n”UBS sucks,” he said, “but the Cambodian stock market sucks even more. Can you buy me shares of Apple?”

    Is that risk adjusted? e.g. APT STD > NYCS STD?
