there isn't some way to make 10%+ passively and with a minimum of risk?

[/ QUOTE ]

What is a "minimum of risk"?

Why do you think banks make mortgage loans at 6% or 7%? Why do that when they could get 10% passively with a "minimum of risk"?

The market may not be perfectly efficient but it is also not braindead.

Think of it this way: if you have a good credit rating you can probably secure a no questions asked loan at 7% or 8%. If you could invest at minimal risk at 10%, why not just borrow the max, invest, pocket the difference, and repeat until filthy rich?
