I
found an interesting portfolio investing idea: Invest into 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 spend huge amounts for lobbying as
a percent of total assets, have performed very well in the past.
Stocks that lobby Washington beat the street by 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 attached stock list. Hope you get some new
ideas. I still introduce many investing ideas and dividend growing stocks on my
blog.
