Personally i put in NUSI. i treat it like a long term savings account with crazy interest lol (7-8%) + avg 2% growth . I think more and more of these ETFs are coming out.
you're looking at it from capital growth. Add back the yield you're pretty much in par with the index. I mean if you only care about steady yield, then i think it's good
Safest way is not to invest or trade. Because chances of losing money is extremely high. Go and be a cleaner, a laborer, a delivery man.... And every month, you will have a decent income
My approach would be to trade a small portion of a portfolio with a tested strategy that historically was capable of returning 50% per year. Trading 25% of a portfolio leaving 75% in cash, even if the original strategy had drawdowns of 25% your total portfolio would only experience drawdowns of about 6% and you would achieve about 12% per year. The added bonus is that you have less capital at risk so it may make sleeping at night a little easier.
Up on till April 14th, 2021, I would have suggested asking Bernard Madoff how to achieve the safest results. Said to say he went to the great beyond on April 14th.
1% per month, 12% per year...basically asking for a Guaranteed return. That's essentially impossible to answer, or deliver on. Nothing is Guaranteed in the market. 12% guaranteed, or the "safest approach". I can deliver to him 100% return in a month, but it's not guaranteed. Maybe even in a week. If he wants a guarantee, or the "safest approach", he should let his money sit in bank checking account, or take up a CD or bond yield that pays peanuts. Nothing good ever arises from a bar or alcohol. Drinking is a disgusting lifestyle habit to poison your mind and body, spirit and soul. Society, the world, would be a better place..if Jesus didn't invent, or turn water into wine.
