Have you considered a lower risk strategy called dividend investing to beat inflation? It is often the simplest strategies which work the best over the long-run. Investing should be boring and allow to sleep soundly at night.
The first part of dividend investing, consists of buying stocks which pay a regular and above average dividend. The second part of dividend investing, is to take dividends received and reinvest them to create even more income.
Dividends rely on cash earned to be paid out. Cash is king. Many firms have large revenues but do not produce much cash. As a result companies which pay regular dividends are likely to have stronger financials underpinning them. This also means they are less risky.
Inflation, is the rise in the price of goods over the long-term. This means you overall wealth decreases as you have to spend more to get the same back as you would normally.
