Make a Fortune with the Best Real Estate Stock to Buy (Not a REIT)

by

There are numerous ways to make a fortune investing in technology, and Money Morning Defense and Tech Specialist Michael A. Robinson has found another great opportunity.

This time, it's in the housing being purchased by all the newly minted tech millionaires in San Francisco and other high-tech hubs.

But he's not buying houses. Or homebuilding stocks. Or even real estate investment trusts (REITs). It's a different kind of real estate stock all together.

Double Your Money with This Big Data Play on Real Estate

by

If you think the tech economy is slowing down, try to rent a home or apartment in San Francisco.

According to a new report from the real estate experts at Nested, the city now has the highest rents around. Not just in the United States – but in the entire world.

It's no doubt largely due to the fact that the tech boom in SF and Silicon Valley is running at full speed, leaving the city with a vacancy rate below 3%.

Nested based its results not on average rents but on the price people pay per square foot. In San Francisco, renters pay $4.75, the highest among more than 100 cities around the world the agency studied.

While San Francisco lies in the epicenter of the tech sector, it's not the only city with soaring rents.

Not surprisingly, Wall Street is getting in on the act. The number of financier-owned rental properties in the United States jumped 60% last year.

You can get in on this act, too.

You see, Wall Street needs data – a lot of data – to help them make their real estate investing decisions.

They're paying top dollar for that data – and most of them are buying it from the tech company I want to tell you about today.

It's already doubled once for my longtime readers.

And it's poised to double again - fast - if you make your move now...

The Fed’s Been Lying to Us About Inflation - It’s Frighteningly High

by

Even by the deeply flawed and misleading Consumer Price Index (CPI), inflation is at the U.S. Federal Reserve's target. By other measures that more accurately portray inflation, it is well above target.

The Fed will not be deterred from continuing to tighten, continuing to remove money from the system, just because of the silliness that "CPI missed expectations."

It's still at least 2%… and it's heating up.

Furthermore, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that, as the Fed raises the federal funds rate target, it will only stimulate more inflation. The Fed will always be behind the curve, because the Fed is always back there pushing the curve ahead.

Every time it raises the federal funds target rate, the Fed signals to the decision makers in the U.S. economy that it expects more inflation, and consumers and businesses behave accordingly. I showed you the history of that a couple of weeks ago; the charts don't lie.

And the fact is that we really have more – much more – inflation than they're telling us.

This isn't a mistake, it's not a miscalculation.

Rather, it's a deliberate obfuscation, and today, I'm going to show you exactly what the Fed leaves out (and what that means for you)...
