It wants to stimulate the economy, boost business activity, and lower unemployment.
When you save money, you don't support this agenda. Your money stays in the bank
earning interest.
To persuade you not to save, the Federal Reserve has set interest rates at zero percent.

You get no reward for saving money. In addition, the Fed is inflating the money supply,
which causes asset prices to rise… and erodes your purchasing power.

They're carrying on with their everyday lives like nothing's wrong. Instead of saving money
and preserving what wealth they have left, they're returning to debt and consumption.

I'm rebelling.
I'm going to fight the government's agenda… and I'm going to save my money regardless
of zero-percent interest rates and an overvalued stock market. To pull this off, I've had to
come up with several extraordinary income ideas that pay high yields and keep my money safe…
I call this strategy "Black Market Income"…
"Black Market Income" sounds illegal, but it's not. I've simply turned my back on the conventional savings vehicles offered by brokers and bankers. Instead, I've trawled the

"Black Market Income" sounds illegal, but it's not. I've simply turned my back on the conventional savings vehicles offered by brokers and bankers. Instead, I've trawled the
stock market for undiscovered pockets of safe income. And I've looked outside the stock market… and outside the financial system altogether.
Right now, my favorite Black Market Income ideas are…
1)Preferred stocks
Preferred stocks and bonds are the safest investments trading on the stock market.

That's because they are loans, not ownership rights. I lend my money, and the company
has a legal responsibility to pay back my loan in full with interest. I don't care about
growth, profits, revenues, or costs. All that matters is the company can pay me back my
debt with interest at the agreed time. You can expect 7% dividend yields from safe
preferred stocks.

is the most reliable way I know of to build wealth . Buying stock directly from the company
and avoiding brokers (and their fees) is the best way to set this strategy up. These
programs are called Direct Investment Plans, or DRIPs for short.

3)Tax lien certificates
Local governments are desperate for money. To speed up the collection of property taxes,
they issue tax certificates to investors. These certificates pay anywhere from 14% to 24%
in interest. Tax certificates are backed by property, so they're extremely safe, and your
local government handles all the administration of the loans. You simply supply the capital
and collect interest.

Black Market Income section of the 12% Letter's website.
4) Mortgage REITs

4) Mortgage REITs
Mortgage REITs (which we call "virtual banks") buy high-yield mortgage securities with borrowed money. They earn the spread between the interest rates they pay on borrowings
and the interests rates they earn on their investments. With the Fed keeping rates at zero, mortgage REITs print money… and will continue printing money as long as interest rates remain at zero. Given the weak economy, I expect the Fed to keep interest rates low for
years to come.
