If you don't have sufficient base capital, why try?
The term passive income is termed to draw the attention and
attract people to ideals, so that others can sell you the idea of
buying their unit trusts, shares, stocks, and signing up for their
courses, etc.
Truth is, "passive income" is not really passive. As a serious
investor, it's your job to spend time pouring through financial
reports, reading financial news, researching and reading
competitors financial reports, reading company's mission, direction
and intended courses of action, value the company, company
visiting, etc.
Most of us, myself included, are merely just buying for the sake
of buying. It's not true nor real investing. Any cursory reading of
the annual reports, the news, the mission directives, is not
sufficiently in-depth.
