Re: Sometimes I just wonder
1.5%/mo. equals 18%/year.
It's doable w/ dividend stocks and closed-end funds even in the US. But if $100k is all the capital at your disposal, you'll have a sleepless night once in awhile, depending on market gyrations...
At 18%, it's far more comfortable to have a minimum of $250k+ to invest. I value my sleep.
But then, I also rather have young, hot pussy before I am hitting 50! Never underestimate the value of pussy...

I have friends that live only off this interest and nothing else no pensions nothing.
I think if large earthquake hits like Haiti they are in deep shit but their life is hell of alot better than what they would have in their home country--
Young pussy 50 years younger them warm weather--
Granted all the corrupt bullshit but they get acustomed to it --
I would join em but I don't know what I would do for 50 years---

Have friends with different amounts but it is fixed at 1.5 percent per month -- they have no worries
I worry about earthquake hitting DR I think their money would dissapear
I am NOT Hypocritical of their amount of their worth I don't care--
Life don't turn out perfect for everyone.
They make the best of what they have.
Re: Sometimes I just wonder
Just to elaborate a bit further: look at AGNC, AOD, IVR, CH, etc. Exchange traded.
These are no fly-by night operations, but one certainly needs to be aware of the associated risks. Still beats a pension or SSN, IMHO, if you got the cash...

Who do you know that's getting 18% a year now? Where are they getting it?
Re: Sometimes I just wonder
For example,
http://eresearch.fidelity.com/eresea...AGNC&rsrch=gqb
Dividend yield of 18.75%, payable quarterly. This is the view if you are on the other side of the housing crisis.
Of course, you won't get 18.75% in a savings account or by investing in CDs.

Seems like some guys moved there to get drunk 7 days a week and bang skanks.
There was this ex pat that lived about 45 minutes away from Sosua and he posted and guys would either see him when he stopped by once a week in Sosua or go out and visit him. He was older and choose to have a Dominican wife.
My rant of the day.
From what I see Jimmy a lot of dudes here are/were undersexed, brought pussy all there life and never had nothing hot like they are getting in DR and I might be wrong with my observations. So when they get to a place like DR (Sosua, POP, SDQ, etc) where it is a hop skip and a jump away from mainland USA and the woman do as a woman should cater to you it blows their minds! I agree living in mix of everything is not my idea of fun but I am not the norm here I don't think. Ive been on rap tours, fucked a lot of pretty bitches here in the states, am part of the greatest fraternity (in my opinion, DMV will 2nd this), have a good job, basically living life the best way I can so the pussy isn't the major allure for dudes like me. I love the layout of the land, people, smell, just the feel when that plane lands and you know you gonna lay on a beach with a cold Presidente, good food, and truly enjoy experiencing DR no matter how many times you have visited or extended stayed there experience something new. Maybe it's me I've been to other Islands, dealt with other people, but there is something about the island of Hispaniola and it's people that make me fall in love all over again.

I am getting 18% on my CD's, until next December. After that, I'm not going to be getting shit, unless something drastic happens with the peso.
I'm not counting on that.

Oh and BTW, if the price of the shares take a steep fall, you'll be hearing from me ;):rofl:!
