No-Brainer
Denver Dale, who runs private-equity firm On-Point Capital in Monterey, California, ponders the same question in April as he sips a drink at a preconference cocktail party held at the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, one of Paulson’s recent acquisitions.
Dale, a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. alum, says he and his wife, a gynecologist, are seriously considering relocating, calling it a no-brainer as long as he could ensure that his business would be eligible for the island’s tax breaks. He wasn’t so sure whether it was a no-brainer for Puerto Ricans: “We’ll know in five years if you end up with a couple of areas of haves amid a whole bunch of have-nots.”
