Safest way to make 1% per month

[DaveV]

dont buy big gap ups. Dont buy the open, wait a few
minutes. dont buy after hours. dont chase..
Always have a game plan- what stocks are you buying and why.. What price area are you selling..

What you are describing is a recipe for day trading. I think the OP is asking for a is passive investment strategy that averages 1% gain per month.

I was challenged last evening in a pub (without face mask!) on what would be the "safest approach" to make 1% per month over the next 10 years. Not more, just 1%.

That's about 9 to 10% net of inflation per year or about 1.5x very long term US equity index return.

I was not able to answer on the spot but promised the dude to raise the question here.

junior debt in small companies will pay 10 percent.

I was thinking about cumulative non-redeemable preferred shares actually - they sit just above the junior in a waterfall.

How is this a safe way when there are multiple drawdowns of more than 50% ?

forget that, this strategy is underperforming its own index.
