Default Re: O/T Looking for \"under the mattress\" type investment

Stocks with a yield of over 6% and costing less than 10 times earnings will outperform inflation and the stock market by a massive amount over time, plenty of different holdings is the way to avoid bad luck, if the majority of major investment banking firms have them down as likely to underperform the market, then they are even more likely to outperform. People may think this is a joke but these are facts born out over a 100 years, people who have invested in all the 'big things' such as motor vehicles, computers, software, telecommunications, and internet companies have lost money more often than not, better of putting it in a water company or a stressed manufacturer, nothing exciting will likely happen you'll just get more wealth slowly.
