What’s the best way to get a consistent rate of return that exceeds 3.5%?
Dividend-paying stocks: energy, healthcare, large multinationals.
I’ve been getting right at 8% the last three years....
Find a small biz with cash flow problems, good receivables, and orders on the books. Get them to give you 51% of the stock with a buyback clause for when they get healthy and a claim on receivables if you provide the cash they need.
One of my customers is in this boat. The Factoring Loansharks want 30%. They will be happy to pay you 15%.
The equity position is so that your profit comes in the form of capital gains....which is at ZERO percent under the small biz stimulus act of last year.
I really think the best deals are investing in small biz right now. The weak ones already died.
Maybe Australian bonds. Or a dividend stock like VGR
