Risks of Investing in Stocks

Risks of investing in stocks are very real.

But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. In fact, even with the risks of investing in stocks, historically speaking, you’re more likely to grow your wealth a lot faster with stocks than without them.

That being said, you should also have a few non-stock-related investments in your portfolio, just to help offset any potential stock market risks that could come to fruition.

2 Ways to Avoid Risks of Investing in Stocks — and Still Make a Boatload of Cash!

There are literally hundreds of non-stock-related investments that can help you build your wealth. But there are two in particular that I find to be the most profitable.

The first is real estate.

The first investment I ever made was actually real estate. And while I made it at an early age (I was just 24), it didn’t take me long to realize how fruitful that investment would become.

To be sure, it didn’t turn me into a millionaire. After all, my first home cost me just $49,000. It was a small row home in an ignored part of north Baltimore. But it was becoming a sort of “hip” area.

New restaurants were starting to open up. Older, abandoned commercial buildings were being rehabilitated and leased by startups looking for some cheap real estate in a safe part of the city. A Whole Foods had even opened up about 5 miles away. This was a good sign, as there have actually been studies showing that home values can grow dramatically following the opening of a nearby Whole Foods. One in particular actually found that homes near a Whole Foods saw an average 5-year appreciation of 45%.

Mine grew even faster, with the value of that home more than doubling to $120,000 in five years.

Of course, this was in the early days of the real estate boom. Still, even when the real estate market isn’t booming, real estate can still serve as a smart, long-term investment, whether it’s from a 3%–5% appreciation year over year, or just not pissing your money away on rent. There are few non-stock investments more appealing to me than real estate.

In fact, after I bought my first home, I picked up another one on the cheap. I fixed it up and rented it. Twenty years later, I paid off the mortgage (thanks to steady rental income). Now I basically get a few grand every month — courtesy of some very happy tenants.

I should point out, though, that I’m not an absentee landlord. I take great strides to ensure my tenants are happy, so when I do have to raise the rent, they happily sign on the dotted line. I’ll never understand why people turn into slumlords when it’s far more profitable to be a responsible landlord.

But I digress.

My point is simple: Bull market or bear market, my real estate investments have always provided me with steady income.

Another way to earn steady income is through those private solar royalties I’m always telling you about.

If you’re new to Energy and Capital, private solar royalties are monthly cash dividends you can earn from various solar projects across the globe.

It’s pretty simple, actually.

You see, there’s a special portal where some of the wealthiest investors in the world, such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett, can log on, choose from a variety of different solar projects, invest in one or more of them, and then immediately begin earning monthly cash payments.

You can get some of this action, too. And these are not trivial payments.

Some of these investments are paying an estimated return as high as 14%.

And the best part is that these monthly payments are not affected by the public markets because these are not public equities.

They’re private deals, and you earn your monthly payments directly from the company, regardless of whether we’re in a bull market or bear market. Your payments are locked in and cannot lose value if the Dow or Nasdaq tanks.

Make no mistake: This is an excellent way to make a lot of money while avoiding the risks of investing in stocks.

I’m actually so bullish on these private solar royalties that I put together this special report, which shows you exactly how they work and, more importantly, how you can start earning your own monthly income from these royalty deals as soon as today.

While I’ll never dissuade anyone from investing in stocks, you shouldn’t turn away easy money. And without a doubt, solar power royalties are some of the easiest money you’ll ever make.
