  • How To Beat Inflation Rates With ROI Returns? 0 comments

    How do we beat inflation rates with ROI returns? The answer is it's certainly not easy. With bond rates artificially low and inflation apparent all around is, it's difficult to crank out consistent xx% returns from the market to really beat current inflation levels.

    Most solutions turn to shorter term trading, after all a 2% dividend doesn't look that great when inflation is by many beliefs above 5% annually for the USD.

    What it ultimately comes down to is taking more risk. Some believe you need to take a borderline gambling approach to reach 15%+ annual returns now in the market, and it's hard to disagree with them.

    I'm not saying it's a good idea to get into 3x market leverage ETFs and pray to the stars, but picking up some dividends you've researched and found opportunity in and using 2x leverage might be a good call for younger investors.
