Thanks for the suggestion, dind't know about that forum.

Thanks for your answer.

This is money that I can certainly "tie up" for quite some time. I'm talking about a very small amount in the US context but a good amount compared to local standards, around $4.000 USD.

What I really don't want is that money to lose value after bringing it home and having to pay 30% on local taxes to a corrupt government that will do almost no good to me or the community.

I'm looking for anything, not necessarily stocks, that I could invest in online, that accepts PayPal as a funding/payment source and that keeps my money from losing value to local taxes. Stocks in the US were my example because I really thought it would be an investment that the government in my country would find difficult to tax me for, but from your very well explained answer I understand it might not be my best option now.
