Without meaning to sound cocky - I am not here to talk to most of you. I am here to talk to the few of you who ARE making 10-15%+ ROI and income cashflow. If anyone on this board is. And bounce ideas around to that end.
That means that 90% of you have nothing to contribute, while I appreciate your desire to help and respectfully mean you the best, Please do not tell me about your strategy to get 3%. You're rowing against the stream and I am not interested in being a normal investor.
Yeah, sorry X, you don't get to decide who chimes in with their thoughts, or not. Anyone is free to post as they see fit, as long as they're following forum rules.
If you're successfully getting 15%+, why not continue that? If it's sustainable and something you understand, it's a lot better than branching into risky things you don't understand (aka speculating aka gambling).
I'm getting over 20% per year over the last 6 years:

I wouldn't then be like "well, I'm only going to accept 20% returns now, so let me figure out what else offers that."
If I switch to other types of investing, I expect and will be happy with lower returns, for the positive trade offs they offer. (My stock investments, for example, I'd be happy with 7-8% real return long term.)
At this point, If any mods are watching I would like to ask that you get this post back on topic please.
The mods are pretty lazy around here, I wouldn't count on them for anything. Buncha bums.
