"Perpetual Bonds" Can Pay You FOREVERI want to show you something very cool that I recently came across... It involves some fascinating history – but stick around, because it's VERY relevant to how you could make the most money in the market today. Take a look at this: This is a real bond agreement, issued in 1648 by a Dutch water authority. It's housed in a rare book and manuscript library at Yale University. It's well more than a century older than the Declaration of Independence. It's written on goat skin, for goodness' sake. But get this: It still pays interest. Someone from Yale went, in person, to collect the interest payment from the Dutch Water Authority a few years back. Now, the interest wasn't much... just $153 for the last 12 years. But here's the thing: The face value of the bond is $509, in today's dollars. And it's been paying out nearly since the Romans had Galileo on trial for saying the Earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around. It's paid for itself many, many times over... because it's what is called a "perpetual bond". It never expires. (Find out how you can access the same kind of thing right here.) These bonds don't promise to return your principal like a regular bond. But in exchange, they pay the interest rate forever. And it's obvious how lucrative that can be over time. A hundred and fifty bucks isn't flashy... But you know what is flashy? Getting paid forever on an investment whose upfront cost you've already recouped. And it's absolutely possible. You just need to take a few simple steps right now. I believe this is the best moment in many years for this exact type of setup... but the window will only last for a short time. To be clear: I'm NOT recommending you buy bonds, although they can be a great investment. See, "perpetual bonds" do still exist, sort of... They're not really available to individual investors – and the way they work has changed. But there is a way to get something like the real, original "perpetual bonds" through the stock market. At least for a little while, today. See what I mean right here. It's the most important investing idea I've ever shared. And – I rarely talk about this – but it's what I do with the vast majority of my own money. Please, get the full story here right away.
