The Best REITs to Buy for 2021

by

If there's one industry that's going to benefit the most from a coronavirus vaccine in 2021, its real estate.

All too often, people think they need tens of thousands of dollars to invest in real estate.

That is not true.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) allow you to invest in a diversified basket of real estate investments for as little as $5-$10.

They trade like stocks, but instead of owning a piece of a company, you own a piece of hundreds or thousands of real estate investments.

Best of all, REITs are required by law to pay 90% of their taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends.

So, the yields you can generate on these types of investments are generally much higher than market average (1.8% for the S&P 500).

And the three I found for you today yield 4%, 6.2%, and 8.4%, respectively...

These Six “Ordinary” Stocks Are Still Handing Me Monster Gains

by

One of the best things about my trading is that it gives me the freedom to work an hour or so per day, doing what I have to do so I can do what I want do to the rest of the time.

Plenty of my 1450 Club Members following along are getting the chance to do the same thing.

Don't get me wrong: It's great when you can work at doing what you love… but it's also great when you can draw a big, fat line between "work" and "life."

Big surprise, but a lot of my "work time" is dedicated to looking at stocks.

If you've been with me for a while, you'll know I trade the same seven well-known big-cap stocks just about every day, but there's a lot more: I'm looking for any "optionable" shares that meet my special criteria for making recommendations.

To help me do that, I develop a kind of "watch list" every week, so I can narrow it down; I don't have to track 1,000 companies, but only between six and eight. Much more manageable.

And I'm not sacrificing a nickel of profit potential by narrowing it down, either.

I can point to just five stock trades that gave my readers a crack at a combined 1,091% in gains. Put another way, not a single one of these five trades was closed out for less than 200% in profits.

So you see, targeting your moves carefully beats throwing darts at a huge list of stocks.

Right now, I've got my eye on six… Full Story

Trust Me, Dude: This Millennial Trend Could Make or Break a Portfolio

by

I was talking to an old friend on the West Coast the other day. His business is located in Sacramento, but most of his customer base is in the Bay Area, so he was looking for an apartment and a small office space in San Francisco.

His search turned up rents that were, as he put it, "more than the cost of [his] first three cars combined, each month."

Office space was even worse. The deciding factor for him was that his price range put him soundly in the middle of what can charitably be called "urban war zones," where a trip around the corner for a bite to eat could turn into something like a bad day in Baghdad – a real bullet festival.

So there was no way my friend wanted to – regularly, each month – fork over exorbitant sums for digs like this. He said he'll continue to make the drive in and stay in a nicer, less hectic, and far more reasonably priced smaller city.

It is the same story I am hearing about other hot spots like New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and other big-city markets.

The economy is booming for the moment, and with a red-hot labor market in play, pricing in markets like Washington and New York, already on the steep side, is probably going quickly worsen (or "improve," depending on how you're invested).

There's no way around it: If you want to live downtown in the big city today, you will have to pay through the nose.

Increasingly, we are finding there are a lot of people who do not wish to do so - and that's the key to the shares I'm going to tell you about right now...
