Investing in Royalty Trusts: Getting Paid to Invest

The two of us just sat there eating some leftovers from KD’s Bar BQ, drinking from sweaty bottles of water, watching it.

The numbers on the rusty old meter just kept rolling over. One…by one…by one.

 “This has to be the best business in the world,” I said.

“Yep, nothing can get done without them. They all need our compressors.” the company’s chief engineer said in a thick Texas accent.

412…413…414…

“Is this for real?”

“Yep. The compressors are essential for the wells to work.”

421…422…423…

“No. No. No. I get that. In fact, I love that. But I mean this – the numbers,” I said.

“Ohhh, those. You betcha. They’re real…”

429…430…431…

“Hmmm…so someone just made $114 while we’ve been sitting here in the middle of nowhere eating some sandwiches. $120…$126…$132…That’s obscene.”

“Multiply by that by 12. That’s how many they own. Now that’s obscene.”

That was how I came across one of the simplest, most lucrative business in the world. And right now could be the perfect time to invest in it once again.
