Easterly Government Properties Stock Price Got Far Too Cheap
Easterly Government Properties, Inc.'s 9% dividend yield appears sustainable, with a clear path to full CAD coverage within 24 months through rent escalators and strategic acquisitions. The stock's decline is due to misclassification with troubled office REITs and overblown fears of government spending cuts. DEA's long-term government leases and decentralized property locations mitigate risks, suggesting a potential 50% upside as market fears subside.

Home For The Holidays
U.S. equity markets rebounded this week as investors weighed a relatively strong slate of housing market data and solid retail earnings against heightened geopolitical volatility in Eastern Europe. Following its worst week in two months, the S&P 500 advanced 1.7% this week - effectively erasing last week's 2% declines and extending its post-election gains to around 5%. Real estate equities - which lagged in two post-election weeks amid a rebound in interest rates - were among the leaders this week following an encouraging slate of REITworld updates.
