I expect that everyone who buys this bond buys me dinner Or if you're european open an account with me.
brazilian bonds pay 10.75% interest. Turkey 6.5% China 5.5% Australia 4.5% South Africa 6.5% Among all these the most convenient is Australia. Just setup an IB account in AUD and earn the interest. Guys I have a question. If this guy deposits 150k at IB and takes a long AUD forex position of 1.5M, and shorts an equivalent amount of aud futures, wouldn't he receive spot interest, while remaining insulated from exchange rate changes(since futures position interest is not deducted) I trade spot eur. don't know much intricacies of fx futs. Is this possible.
I would put a percentage in Chinese dividend paying stocks. China has already announced that they would be increasing the value of their currency by a modest 3% a year. There are many Chinese stocks that will pay about a 5% dividend per year. That gives you a total of 8% a year plus whatever increase there is for the stock price over the long term. You can buy a lot of Chinese stocks on the New York Stock exchange. I'd be cautious about investing too much of the portfolio in the United States.
Hi, Here is a strategy: http://www.osam.com/pdf/Commentary_Sep10.pdf Essentially the article says that if you have a portfolio of high dividend paying stocks, your principal at times may go down but at those times yields go up. In the long run the portfolio appreciates so it not only provides a generally consistent income but a generally increasing income. The assumption is that you rebalance each year into high dividend paying stocks.
