more than 15%/yr return in passive investment, is it still feasible? - GoFuckYourself.com

Quotealex · 12-25-2005, 11:42 AM

Can you still make more than 15% annually in passive investments over a long term period?

Pete-KT · 12-25-2005, 11:44 AM

if you have a business plan and work it correctly

woj · 12-25-2005, 11:50 AM

Doesn't sound too hard, if you invest in a growth index fund, you can probably do that over long time frames....

chadglni · 12-25-2005, 11:54 AM

15% lol. Yes.

andrej_NDC · 12-25-2005, 11:59 AM

my 2 funds did grow by 30% and 60% last year, but thats a long term plan(20 years), so it can be 5% this year(even though I hope it isnt)

What business plan! I'm refering to investing money without doing any additional work on my part.

Are they gold and natural resources funds?
Over the last 12 months, I did an average return of 14.69%; and 12.46% over the last 5 years which is below my expectation...

With 1 million cash, I could make over 25% on my equity in my area real estate market but i would have to manage it as well.

no, those are funds with many companies in each...its WIOF funds if Im correct, after 20 years, the average growth should be 15% yearly, what would be awesome, because with only few bucks spent monthly, it could get me a fat retirement

i laughed inside when a Merril Lynch rep told me that their investments were at 7%growth. I'm currently working on a $1.5m investment with $5.4m return where $2.1m is guaranteed by the government.

So the question shouldn't be is 15% feasible, but rather is there something better than 15%. Good luck with your investments.

heres the problem with that... you can easilly borrow, lets say 10mil, at 7-8% interest ... now if you can make 18% ..thats a 10% profit above what the loan would cost you on repayments.

If it were this easy, everyone would be doing it

Ron Bennett · 12-25-2005, 09:39 PM

This is an easy one ... domain names

100%+ annualized returns are common ... and this is for names that have been bought second-hand, not new ~$10 regs. Such returns are happening in all price ranges, including high-end 5, 6, 7+ figure domains.

Ie. I sold a domain just the other day for $2500 that I paid $499 about 2 years before. And another for $500 that I paid around $200 about a year before. Both names were undeveloped - just pointed to parking.

If "passive" is what you're seeking, domain names is where you should be looking ...

Click my sig below to get started ... see what is possible in the domain name business.

Ron

p.s. another benefit to investing in domains is there are no property taxes, no transfer taxes, no zoning issues, virtually no maintenance, etc - it doesn't get much easier than that.

People with means do that all the time.

Yep.. It's called land.

Choose carefully, - buy it cheap - sit on it, - and watch it increase in value.

15% is a modest increase for land values. They don't make land anymore

Buying land is too much trouble. In some city, they make you pay twice the tax rate for a vacant land and force you to maintain the land.
