 One example of thinking you are investing in a income quadrant strategy when you are not is looking at bond interest as income. For it to really be income it needs to not only put money in your pocket but the end result should be for you to have more than you paid. Though it easily appears that if you get back the $1,000 you paid for a bond and you get interest every year for 30 years that you do have more, again you have to factor in inflation. Is the interest you received greater than the inflationary cost you paid waiting to receive it. If you received 5% interest a year, (and to be conservative we will say 4% after you paid income taxes of only 20% never increasing that amount over 30 years), then you would have made $1200. Do you believe that $1,000 in buying power today is going to be equal to or greater than $2200 (original $1,000 for the bond + the $1200 in interest) in 30 years. Do you think oil will more than double in the next 3 decades? Just look at the past 3 decades on gasoline, food, milk, a house, even a coke you easily say they cost 3x as much as they did 30 years ago. If that happens in the next 30 years then the bond will have effectively lost you money not making you income despite putting money in your pocket.
An investment or trading strategy from the income quadrant needs to put money in your pocket at least 1 time per year, preferably a minimum of 4 times per year, and ideally 12 times per year. If it is more frequently than monthly then it is classified as a trading strategy.
We discuss these strategies in more detail in our Iron Golf Trade course, QQQQ’s Trading Course, Spoos Trader, Seasonal Futures, Winning Investors Losing Investor, and Winning Trader Losing Trader Course.
