The "Infinite" Money-Making Trick (ONLY IDEAL)
I was thinking about this infinite money-making trick recently, but it looks like it's just not possible for regular investors like us due to strict regulations.
The trick is called
the Yen Carry Trade,
and in an ideal world, it sounds like literal free money:
You borrow money in Japan because interest rates there are incredibly low (around 1%).
You convert that cash into US dollars.
You invest those dollars into safe US assets paying around 3.5%.You pocket the 2.5% difference as pure profit.
What do you guys think?
Do you think regulators are right to lock retail investors out of these high-leverage currency trades, or should we be allowed to take the risk?
