How to invest $1million for steady income - Trading-Lab

ChaosTheory · #1 08-17-2007, 12:40 PM

if you had $1million and wanted to retire early and do things you like, how would you invest it? Ideally, you should be able to only draw from the income it generates, without eating into principal. Where would you put your $1mil?

$1mil is enough money to build a nice diversified portfolio. I would put 30% in bonds, 30% in stocks, and the remaining in alternative investments

how you invest it depends on your risk profile. Some will invest it all on a brick and mortar business. Other more conservative people would keep it mostly in safe bonds. So it depends on your risk and return profile.

if you are up to do some creative investments, you could invest in tax liens. They are not "work-free", but you can earn good money from it.

build a nicely diversified portfolio of dividend paying stocks. You should be able to get 5%-10% annul returns from a a portfolio of high dividend stocks and income trusts.

you can always pay a professional money manager to manage your money. Or spread a portion of your capital among several money managers specializing in different trading/investment strategies.

investing in bank CDs will get you a yearly 5% ROI. 5% of a million bux is 50k. subtract 30% for taxes and what you have left may pay your bills pending on your lifestyle.
