Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How would you invest

A basket of high dividend stocks that don't have much beta (price change either up or down) like ARCC, SLRC, or AM. If they're not performing as you like, get rid of them and look for something else.

Can’t believe no one’s suggested it yet, but hookers and blow?

Buy cheap land nobody knows about and sell it to Yankees that don’t have a clue for 5x what you paid for it

A degenerate suggestion, for sure.

Consider that people who respond with a single investment are idiots, so easy to pass up their advice. Also worth considering that some portion of the funds should reside somewhere other than the traditional (((banking))) system.

Says the mighty knowledgeable one that contributes no suggestion at all.

You got the first part right, which is one in a row for you.

Cause schi tt runs downhill! 🤔

I would buy a small house in Upper Michigan very close to Lake Michigan . I would take the rest, about $500K, and invest it it what people will be needing 50 yrs from now with good dividend stocks.

1.. Verizon ( VZ). pays 5.5% dividends and iuncreased divies every year. Cell phones are a consumer staple now days.
2 Hanes underwear (HBI) 5% divies. if we cant afford socks , Tshirts and undewear , we are doomed anyway.
3 Stanly Black & Decker (SWK) been around 150 yrs. divies are about 3% and raised their divies for decades. Very low price.
4 Intel microchips... We need micro chips and the price is way down... 3% divies.
5 Kelloggs (K) we need to eat or die... Pays 3.5?% divies. Price is fair.
6. Fidelity Utilities ETF ( FUTY) We go back to the stone age without utilities. pays 3% .
7, WPC, O, STAG, ADC, AMT.. These are all real estate companies . pay avr. 4.5% divies and raising them every yr.
8 Kimberly Clark (KMB ) toilet paper , paper towels . 3.5% divies, been raising then yearly for 50? yrs.
9 Proctor & Gamble (PG) tooth paste, shampoo , soap. 2.5% divies, yearly increases for a LONG time.
10 Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) cooking oil, bread flower ETC... Low divies but good company but price is kind of high.
11. Tyson,,(TSN) chicken , pork.. Price is very reasonable. 2.3% divies.
12 HYD ETF. Tax free Municipal bonds. 4% divies payed monthly Price is way down and a good time to invest some .
13 Chevron , Occidental Exxon Mobil. Good companies but price is kind of high. XOM & CVX pay 3.75% ,Occidental 1%.

This is a good and reasonable 15 companies that we will need for 50 yrs. Many will say the dividends will not exist if the [bleep] hits the fan. True, most will be cut. However, you will have to go through hell and high water to get your rental money too , if times get really bad, but we will eat, wear clothes heat our homes or you Texans will die of heat , and us Wisconsin boys will freeze to death. \

I also think that an ETF ( SPYD) 3.75% divies is a good ETF . Has the 80 higher dividend companies in the S&P 500 and very diverse ETF with lots of energy stocks , nat gas, real estate and banks.

Guy on the radio was talking about investment opportunities insurance companies provide. High rate of return with no danger to your capital! I would check it out.

How much have you made off that ? Please share with us.

Aside from the usual insults and drunken tirades from the usual suspects thank you all very much.

Don’t underestimate the raccoon market it’s a winner fur sure

I am glad you appreciate the advice...

And I am super happy for you about your new found wealth... $850,000 is a really good lick!

Or... you are full of chit... like every other time.

When I was a boy I sold raccoon meat... and muskrat.

Never got rich, but bought a few weapons with the money I made.

West Point, VA 1981.

But alas...

.GOV has shut down the practice since then... bastards

Black Market Raccoon meat

Mutual Funds! Exactly which kind of MF depends on what your intentions are to do with the money.

Pretty much what I did with the last $850k.

Rural land, lead, brass, primers, powder, gold, silver, freeze-dried food, freeze drier, tractor, chainsaws, generators, solar panels/batteries/inverters/charge controllers, a well, a pond....and some fake fiat currency (USD) to light fires with.

Rinse and repeat.

Well, I haven't read all of the comments but,..........If you are asking this question on this forum. what you need is a GOOD FINANCIAL ADVISOR!!!

Someone who has advanced financial credentials (CFP/CFA+) and more, is well regarded by people you trust and has clients who have millions of dollars to invest with him/her and their firm.. And has a clean record with the feds. Somebody who didn't start yesterday and has clients similar to yourselves. It should be put in a "balanced account over time" And, right now, wouldn't be a bad time to start the process. Be sure to interview several folks. Good Luck to you.

I'm learning from people smarter than myself. You should try it sometime.

That is a great approach to gaining wisdom...

Is there a list of people dumber than you available?
