Longevity is important. Since FEED pays a dividend, I usually think about when does the asset return all of the original investment; and what value will the asset have at that point? For example, my return on Splinterlands cards as rentals is about 60 percent. So in two years, I should have all of the initial investment returned to me with a slight profit. If the underlying asset is worth the same as the original purchase, then I am in a great position, if the value is less, I still made a small profit. If the rate of return is low, like 2 percent, then I prefer an asset that is most likely to hold all of its original value or appreciate, such as a blue chip stock.
On Sleep, then longevity is important in consideration of loss of use. If I hold the refrigerator for two years, could I have used the same capital during that period for a better return elsewhere? I refer to this as an opportunity cost. In general, art and antiques work well in SLEEP. I enjoy owning either one, so I do not worry about the opportunity cost. And since both should appreciate well over time, the long term hold is worthwhile.
In Bleed, longevity is very important. The more the asset eats each month, the faster it must be disposed. Non-revenue generating real estate is a very good example. Raw land costs property tax each year. In addition, if it is purchased with borrowed money, then there is an interest cost each month. The property must be able to be resold for more than the aggregate of these cost, the purchase cost and a profit margin. In real estate, I recommend that the buyer has a solid plan for selling the property before ever purchasing it. Best of luck investing and thanks for the comment!
