jim smith | Where do people come up with 7.5% returns on investment?? |
Whenever you search the web or talk to people about investing or retirement, you'll find they use a 7.5% rate of return in their calculations. I would like to know where in the world can you earn a 7% GUARANTEED Return on your money??
CD accounts do not return more than around 4% APY.
Stocks barely break even over a 10 year period and to me are no better than going to Vegas and playing roulette with your money.
So What type of investment can you earn a GUARANTEED RETURN on your money of 7% or higher?? |

I believe that the 7.5% is the long term nominal return of the stock market. The figure (7.5%), which is somewhat debatable, comes from Roger Ibbotson's annual year book titled “Stocks, Bonds, Bills and Inflation.”
I am not sure why you are saying that stocks barely breakeven over a 10-year period. If you’re talking about the last 10 years you may be right, but if you look at rolling 10-year periods going back 80+ years you will find that there is a very good chance that you would have generated around a 7.5% return if invested in the broader market. But even though history is on your side, you are correct that that 7.5% in stocks is never GUARANTEED, but the longer you’re holding period the more likely you are to achieve above bond like returns. |

Something that returns say 5% and makes this up to 7.5% by gradually eating into your capital
Alternatively Lloyds TSB yields 8.33% |

If you want a quick return on your money then trading in cfd,s is the way to go.
You dont actually buy shares as such but buy a contract on the assets.
You then earn or lose money on the opening and closing price of the asset.
Many people have got rich very quick from cfd's but there is also the risk of losing money quickly.
Finding a broker will help as they can advice you on stops that sell when the
asset falls below a certain amount you can afford to lose.

Oh Boy!

Over time (from 1926 to the present) the stock market (as measured by the S&P 500 and it's predecessor) has averaged an annual return of approx. 10%. (source is Ibbotson Assoc.)
Assuming a little asset allocation with bonds would bring the average annual return down some but it would still be comfortably above 7%.
This 7.5% return you cite isn't a guaranteed return and investors understand that. But you're making a really silly mistake by assuming that the time from 2000 to now has been typical of the long term; just as silly as those who assumed that the time from 1993 to 2000 was typical. |

Its an assumed rate of return over a long term. Your statement on stock returns is incorrect. There is no "guaranteed return" of 7%, but with a well-diversified investment portfolio, a long-term total return of 7% is not unreasonable. All investing entails risk - that is the real world. |

Currently, there is no way to do it. In the 80's, I had a zero coupon Treasury bond that returned 11% guaranteed. However, treasurys are now below 2% in some cases. You can go to riskier bonds (lower ratings) to get 7%, but you will be risking both principal and interest if the bonds default. Stocks in any given 10 year period can exceed 7%, or if you bought just before a crash, you even lose or break even. |

There are no guarantees.
Try this. I made it. Its free. It earned me a lot more than 7%.

if you were to give me your money and you would not be able to touch it for 10 years, I would easily make more than 7.5% annually over that 10 yr. time period. Even if I told you how to do that you couldn't do it, not many can. Its too simple and people think that if something is too simple then its not worth doing. Now if you want me to earn you 7.5% over the next year alone, I cannot guarantee that, but over longer periods of time its easy. |
