You can spend a lot of time searching for stocks to buy.
You can study for hours and learn how to analyse stock charts and company's balance sheets. You can spend hours going over financial statements.
But if you're like a lot of people, you don't have the interest or the time. You've got a job and a family, and they keep you busy.
The good news is there's a shortcut around doing all t... ››› more

Right now, there's one JSE listed company who has a dividend yield of 57%.
That's unheard of in JSE listed companies. But it's true.
