    You can also invest in those things.

    I have bought some shiny new shipping containers, an external company handles the leasing to shipping companies, 6% safe interest, fixed surrender value after five years.

    • ^ It's been total shit. I invested nearly 70k € with P&R in Munich, which turned out to be one of the largest investment bankruptcies in Germany.mekk
    • Nearly everything gone, got a lousy sum back from the bankruptcy assets.mekk
    • Did you get a container at least?Gnash
    • Oh God, I'm so sorry - I wish I'd not asked, Mekk!Nairn
    • No, I didn't buy containers directly, just invested in some kind of fund that owns these. Rumors are nearly 60% of the claimed containers never existed.mekk
    • It was going on for more than 40 years and was dependent on new investors, kinda like a Ponzi Scheme. Even carried a lot of trutstworthy consultants with themmekk
    • as a lot of them got sued. I'm glad I'm still young and can earn that money back but yeah it's a big loss. I learned to spread my investmens better acrossmekk
