[QUOTE="Easy_C, post: 954583, member: 8290"] Don't forget preferred stock. They're a rare product, but... Keep in mind that the problem with trying to get "passive income" right now is that the artificially depressed interest rate environment means a lot of professional, massive dollar-value investors (e.g. state retirement funds, other pension funds, insurance companies, etc.) are desperate for any kind of yield they an get in order to remain solvent. This demand tends to push yields for "passive investments" down across the board and negatively impacts the risk/reward ratio for that type of investment. My advice would look at dividend instruments people don't think much about. Preferred stock are rare but somewhat underrated and are designed as a dividend paying instrument. You can also find some extremely high dividend paying stocks (as high as 10% annually) in industries like coal that the NPCs reflexively hate. Not all of that hate is logically based but it suppresses prices, which means you as the buyer get a higher yield (annual return) on dividends. [/QUOTE]
