2. corp bonds, I don't care on them either, I talk to a Merrill lynch adviser once, I think they offer a floating bond, with a guarantee of 5%? ( do we have any Merrill Lynch people here??? to confirm???), but its not FDIC insured.
3. stocks, easy way just buy index fund. or if you think you better than 95% of trader, go for it yourself..,
4. REIT, some REIT offer dividend high as 20% a year, but I don't think that can last forever.
5. hardmoney lender, usually with first lien against property you loan to, high risk, can fail miserably.
6. Landlord, haha, like all other biz, 90% failure rate. can easily achieve 10% return.
7....lol
omg, can't believe I actually wrote all these on my phone....
