How To Make 8% Every Year With Zero Risk / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
Is it possible to make 8% investing money in stocks every year with zero risk?
Yes.

So instead of betting money on an NBA game, what if we bet our money on the Harlem Globetrotters? They have only lost a couple of games in the last 50 years and will lose even fewer in the next 50 years. Why? Of course the game is rigged.
