Capital is insanely cheap right now, and trying to get a good return on your investment is not easy.
Yes, you could be a silent partner in a business.... but you likely won't get great returns, and you risk losing it all of the company goes under.
- ghaff 6y agoThe key is "sufficient capital" obviously. And, of course, it's all about diversification and rate of return. As you correctly note, being a silent partner in a business is riskier than a lot of the alternatives and, if it isn't a commensurately higher expected return, probably not a good idea. However, given sufficient capital (what's sufficient depends on what sort of income stream you're looking for), largely passive investments in various forms can produce that. After all, that's what many people are looking for when they retire.
