tadamichi By Andrew Prochnow The beginning of the 2024 trading year resembles the end of the previous one, with numerous stocks recording gains in the initial 30 days of trading. Thus far in 2024, the S&P 500 has seen an increase of around 2%, with the Nasdaq Composite showing a more substantial rise closer to 3%. Similar to last year, technology stocks have notably surged at the start of the new year. Listed below are some of the top-performing stocks from the first month of the 2024 trading year (fil ...

Led by the return to favor of front-running growth stocks, the S&P 500 has once again hit record levels. That's good news, but it can also make it more challenging to identify good positions to take at this point.From a retirement point of view, there are still plenty of good options for those seeking growth and income, including some real estate dividend stocks that have yet to fully take part in the newly emerged bull market.Three favorites of mine are Agree Realty (ADC -0.30%), Alexandria Real Estate Equ ...

chaofann The REIT market is vast and versatile with something for everyone. Some REITs are better suited for income investors. Others are better suited for growth investors. And some are even attractive for deep value investors. But there are about ~10 REITs that I think every investor should consider. Those REITs are rare in that they tick all the boxes. They have superior business models that have the potential to deliver above-average returns with below-average risk and that's what active investing ...

It implies that I'm of a high conviction in the companies where my stakes are the highest. So, when I am updating here on Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE:ADC), a company I wrote about not that long ago, I do so because the short term has changed in terms of valuation, but the long-term outlook certainly has not. Agree is an overweight position (for Wolf and Brad) ...

TalajI feel it’s been a while since I wrote a “monthly mailbox” article. Though perhaps it was more recent than I remember. When life gets as busy as it has – both on a personal, professional and macroeconomic stage – it’s easy to think more time has passed. Regardless, my approval of the monthly paying dividend model hasn’t changed. This is still something I wish a long list of REITs would do. It wouldn’t be that costly to switch over, believe it or not. And it would benefit retail investors so very mu ...

SolStock/E+ via Getty Images A year ago I published The Buy-Hold-And-Go-Fishing REIT Portfolio. It was a response to the expressed desires of many of our members and my readers. A lot of them have aged and are ready to wind down their individually managed real estate holdings. They want to replace the income and are attracted to REITs because they seem comprehensible. These investors are not looking for positions they need to closely manage. They want holdings they can check in on once a year. Their goa ...

Eoneren All the time, over and over again, when I pitch a high-quality real estate investment trust ("REIT") here on Seeking Alpha, I will inevitably receive comments to the tune of: Solid REIT, but too expensive for me. The yield is too low. I invest in REITs for the income! Now, I don't begrudge any investor, especially retirees, for seeking to maximize the current income from their portfolio. I do that myself by allocating a portion of my investment capital to high-yield securities like midstream energy ...

Commercial real estate has been hit hard in recent years, as was painfully witnessed by investors in publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs). Many saw their holdings hammered first by the pandemic and then by rising interest rates.These real estate dividend stocks need to borrow to grow because their obligation is to pass most of their taxable income on to shareholders as dividends. This makes it difficult for these pools of income-producing properties to retain the cash they need to buy more, ...
