1st lesson that I was taught by my Professor of Economics in college;

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."

"Earn 8% Fixed Monthly Income with High Security and Liquidity"

Run in the opposite direction, no way.

There is a show on CNBC called American Greed which is totally about this type investment and a lot of them actually do happen in Florida? Be a good idea to watch a few of the shows and see how easy it is to be suckered into parting with your money.

You might want to know what regulatory agency regulates this company?

Flippers are what created much of the housing bubble and clearly the only people taking a real risk are people investing with Triad. This appears to be a Madoff scheme....just saying

Another high interest" investment I see are CD's. But that is only if you keep to maturity which often in 2147!

Remember, these financial advisors are out to make money for themselves. They push what makes money for them. I hope you all have a decent broker that you worked with for many years that you can trust. Don't fall for these high pressure salesman. Use your old stock broker back in your old home.

[SIZE="4"]When I think to myself that banks aren't even giving 1/2% interest, at a personal level, I would be frightened to death of anyone who says you can get 8% somewhere. Scary -- very scary. A number of Villagers have offered their opinion to your query; forewarned is forarmed![/SIZE]

If it's 8% guaranteed for life, then I believe that a portion of the return is from your own money. It just depends on what percentage is in the contract. It could be 3%, 4% or more. If they are not above board, that information could be buried somewhere in pages upon pages of small print.

High security, liquidity, and high return? Maybe 5% of the return is from your own money. Who knows? I can't quite make sense of it without seeing the contract.

Tell them you want a copy of the contract and plenty of time (maybe a week or two) to look it over. Then get yourself a good magnifying glass.

If it was as good as it sounds then we'd all be doing it.

My self and several other friends have been doing business with this group for several years. The results have been very good.
Its mostly short term but the deals are always available.

Flippers were enabled by the banks and Fannie and Freddie. And nobody has gone to jail as of yet.

Lets say today a safe rate is 3% for a 10 year bond. 8% short term is so much higher it has to be a high risk investment.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

My Amerprise consultant put me into a program where I earn a guaranteed 6% per year or whatever the market produces, whichever is higher. last year it produced 11%. The caveat is that I can't touch the money for three years. After that I can withdraw whatever I want.
