Would not or not it’s good to purchase investments that you possibly can not lose cash on and that solely had upside. Whereas we’re wishing why do not we add in predictable earnings, predictable dividends and, of coarse, we do not need to pay a premium for this funding. Does this sound unrealistic? Perhaps, however we are able to have the following neatest thing – a Golden Investment. So what precisely is a Golden Funding?

The idea didn’t originate with me, and others have totally different names for it, together with ‘zero-basis inventory.’ I do not look after that title since, in actuality it’s almost unattainable to carry a inventory with zero foundation (at the very least the way in which the IRS calculates foundation).
