Everyone should know that for thousands of years, trading in people for money went on and to some degree it still does (a few months ago it was noted South Korea supplied people to Russia for foreign currency, whle not exactly slaves they were almost). Established companies operated and dividends were paid with very high yields. The end of the slave trade between Europe, Africa and North America ended, although it went on to South America for a little while longer. While this blog only recommends you benefit from dividends from legal means, it is well known the profits are high for illegal substances (i.e. drug trade) There were a number of reason for the end of the slave trade –  the owners in England were paid off by the government (received a buy out); the invention of machinery meant the number of people needed was less (this was one of those great inventions) and when Britian and France went to war (countries) so did the manufacturers (non slave and slave products). Consumers were given a choice of what types of products they would purchase – fortunately non slave won.

Linking to dividend producing stocks, the blog highly recommends legal monopolies or near monoploies, espically near monoploies for they will typically last longer as there is the illusion of competition. There are a variety of companies and industries which due to being first entries and meeting consumer demand have what seems to be near monopoly condidtions. Although consumers and consumer tastes change, look for those companies or do the age old capitalist agenda – buy me out at a higher price..
