35 Top Yielding Real Estate Investment Trusts, Parts 1 through 7

Real Estate Investment Trusts, or REITs, are corporations or trusts that use pooled capital of many investors to invest in and manage a portfolio of real estate properties and mortgages. They are traded publicly, just like stocks, and offer the benefits of real estate ownership without directly owning real estate.

To qualify as a REIT, a company must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year. (Many pay out 100% of their taxable income.) As REITs ...

How To Bet Against The Market Without Shorting Or Using Options

As the markets have become increasingly unstable this year (2011), educating/re-educating my clients on strategies to trade against the market has become essential.

Some like using options, which offer versatility, liquidity, leverage, and, most importantly in our case, the ability to bet against an equity. But there is some in-depth knowledge required when executing an options trade, knowledge that is above and beyond what is required to simply buy and sell stocks/ETFs. Because of this, though options are a wonderful and ...

3 Stocks Yielding Over 10% With Ex-Dividend Dates This Week

The same applies with dividend stocks/ETFs. The stock/ETF will certainly fluctuate but investors can be confident that a dividend is coming their way, generally somewhat regularly.

13 Healthcare Stocks With 35% Average Upside

Healthcare plans’ stocks were hit hard in August as budget talks instilled fear into already worried investors. By mid-month, however, many of the industry’s stocks began consolidating and finding strong levels of price support.

As we moved through September, analysts began taking notice of healthcare plans, using words like “oversold” and “undervalued” when describing the industry. As we are about to close the doors on September, many stocks in the industry have bounced off of price support and are continuing to ...

11 Recent IPO Stocks

Instead, I currently find success in riding the short term trends, holding stocks for only a few weeks to a few months.

So, do Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) have a place in my short ...

Last week Healthcare investors began to worry about possible spending cuts that may affect the sector. A recent Reuters article, however, brought reassurance to investors stating, “Sharp falls in U.S. Healthcare stocks this week — where industry bellwethers dropped as much as 8 percent in one day — were a premature sell-off, analysts say, as the sector’s underlying fundamentals remain strong.”… Continue Reading →
