I found an interesting portfolio investing idea: Invest in stocks that spend a huge amount of money to support political campaigns.
It's no wonder that corporations have a huge interest in spending money for politics: Each dollar should create a return of 220 bucks in the future. That's a pretty good investment in my view.
I'm no social guy and have no thoughts in my mind how governments work, but stocks that have spent huge amounts for lobbying as a percentage of total assets have performed very well in the past.
Stocks that lobby Washington beat the Street by a shocking 11 percent yearly.
Since 2009 a compilation of lobbing stocks generated an annual return of 26.25 percent while the Sharpe Ratio of the combined portfolio reached a high value of 0.88.
Look at my linked stock list. Hope you get some new ideas. I still introduce many investing ideas and dividend growing stocks on my blog.
