Altura Life Arbitrage

About Altura

Altura is a working notebook on geographic arbitrage — the idea that the same quality of day costs different amounts in different places, and that the gap is structural, not lucky.

I'm Donald Shelton. I run an options-trading business while rotating between Fort Myers, Panama City, and Medellín. This site is the long-form column where I think out loud about what that actually looks like — the math, the logistics, the things the relocation industry gets wrong.
