10 Stocks I'm Buying As REITs Have Never Looked So Good
The recent market selloff, driven by the Fed's revised rate-cut forecast, has made high-quality REITs attractively priced for long-term dividend growth investors. Despite poor stock price performance, REITs have strong fundamentals, with favorable earnings yield spreads and dividend yields compared to the broader market. REITs are undervalued due to being treated as bond proxies, but their strong commercial real estate fundamentals and historical outperformance post-Fed rate cuts suggest a buying opportunity.

9 Stocks I'm Buying As The Market Reaches A Rare Level Of Speculative Fervor
The U.S. stock market is highly valued, driven by Big Tech and AI investments, with speculative fervor reminiscent of the late 1990s. Some REITs, like W.P. Carey, face challenges due to poor capital allocation and strategic missteps, leading to underperformance compared to tech stocks.

The 8 Stocks And 1 ETF On My Buy List Going Into December
The market outlook for 2025 is uncertain, with a wide range of possibilities in GDP growth, inflation, and job growth. Government spending cuts led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's DOGE initiative are unlikely to meet their ambitious $2 trillion goal due to mandatory spending constraints. Significant cash reserves, like Berkshire Hathaway's $325 billion, suggest potential market caution, but a drop in the Fed Funds Rate below 4% could boost REITs and bonds.

7 Stocks I'm Buying In Defiance Of Post-Election Euphoria
Some stock sectors exhibit dangerous euphoria, reminiscent of Icarus flying too close to the sun, risking a significant correction.

8 Stocks I'm Buying No Matter How The U.S. Election Goes
The federal government absorbed most of the economic pain of the pandemic, and that shows up in federal debt to GDP. Big Tech companies paradoxically benefit from a higher Fed Funds Rate, because their cash holdings are immense, and they can earn relatively high yields on that cash. Real estate stopped its short-lived outperformance once interest rates began to rise again in mid-September.

5 Stocks I'm Buying As I Reexamined My Sphere Of Competence
I emphasize refocusing on my core competency in real estate and diversifying through dividend ETFs, avoiding the overvalued S&P 500. Current S&P 500 valuations are historically high, suggesting poor future returns; insider buying is low, indicating a potential downturn ahead. Market leadership is shifting from growth to dividend stocks, particularly in real estate and utilities, which have outperformed since July.
