The hard part is how to hide them in plain sight.
I've about 300 acres of money trees, for me the hard part is timing the market for harvest.
It's a matter of perspective. Stocks are only off about 20%. Measure that against the phenomenal gains of the last decade and you are still way ahead. I've put stock purchases on hold for the last couple years because I have an aversion to buying high, but I suspect the market with drop another 10%. If it does, I'll go back to rolling dividends into stocks instead of taking them in cash. Maybe. There are other assets worth looking at. I have bonds maturing in November that will be looking for a bargain in assets too.Well, my retirement funds look like hell the past 12 months
If this is the strongest economy ever, I’d like to go back to below average.
In grad school we were tasked with finding the best investment over a 30 year period. We had to both qualify and quantify it. I had a grandfather that planted trees as his hobby. He had everything from walnut to cherry trees growing in his orchard. He also loved to plant tree rows by the hay meadows. When I was in High School, some guy offered him stupid money for all his trees he planted 50 years prior. He made a nice little profit, but he only sold about 25%. So it got me thinking, could that be a low cost, high yield investment over 30 years. Did the math and everything and the numbers came out good. So that is what I did my project on, hardwood lumber, in a setting that grew straight clean wood. It costs very little to plant and mother natures does the heavy lifting, but good desirable lumber brings in good money.
Amazing.. I hope this pans out.
Now there are more and more places legalising it, so the government gets all of the profit there, also.
