A nemesis (NEM-us-sis) -- from the name of the Greek goddess of divine retribution and vengeance -- is an opponent or rival who cannot be beaten or overcome; a source of harm or ruin.

Early to Riser Mark Fitzpatrick sent me an e-mail with some questions about Central American real estate. He has owned some ocean-view property in Nicaragua's Brito foothills for about six years. (It sounds like it's near the development I have an interest in, Rancho Santana.)
