  1. #1
    what is easier to setup, say a basket of interest positive currency pairs? or pick out a few high yielding dividend stocks?

    the upward bias is only for dividends, stock price increases are not anymore guaranteed. Gains can evaporate within days if there is a collapse, which is becoming more and more likely these days and more and more frequent. Owning shares or owning money, what's the difference, with both vehicles I own something.

    the higher the leverage, the less physical money I need to invest, pretty logical, no? With the rest of my money I can do something else. The opportunity cost is greater with stocks.

    6 months is nothing.

    obviously you also need to get the direction right, but that's the same with stocks. I thought the topic here was interest rate vs. dividends. But apparently you know the topic better, so please elaborate more instead of giving bitchy comments.

    I think the answer is currency pairs:you have higher leverage in the currency market, thus can invest more money you get interest every day vs. dividends only once a year but I might be wrong here. Not doing much stock investing here.
