Wait for a market washout. There may be a big one coming. Then, invest it in stocks that increase their dividend every year. But say don't borrow money, or perform some other kind of financial engineering, to cover their dividend.

What bothers me is the CEO goes out and recruits (convinces) the best people he/she can find. Gets them to work for the company. And the founders/CEO/principals collect almost all of the money. Based on the hard work of ot
