You can benefit from Government borrowing tactic by seeking loans that are below inflation rate. When thirty-year mortgage rates drop below 6%, refinance your home or other real estate assets. If you buy nonperishable goods that you'll need in future, you are earning 6%/year tax-free interest on your risk capital. If you have storage space, this tactic may make sense to you. There are many other self-reliant tactics that are worth considering in your battle to maintain your lifestyle against Government's Inflation Gremlin.
The alternative to conservative investment isn't speculation. You will lose your risk capital if you gamble it. If you speculate in a startup business, U.S. Small Business Administration will tell you that your odds of losing your risk capital are about 85%. If you gamble your money on speculative stocks, your odds of losing your money are about 98%. You may beat speculation odds once or twice, but over time, you will lose your money. Anytime you gamble against House, over time, House will always win, because odds favor House. It's way Las Vegas Casinos prosper in good times and bad.
You should seek returns over 10% with a risk of capital loss of 6% or less. My advice is always ask how likely you are to lose your risk capital, before you ask about potential return on your money. I'm aware of two strategies that meet these requirements. Both require pro-active investors. It's like buying nonperishable goods to preserve their risk capital. You have to do something to benefit from strategies. I'm willing to supply information on these two strategies to any reader who can suggest other investment strategies that beat Government Inflation Gremlin.
