The Fed put out a calendar earlier this year that roughly outlined their plan for slowly raising interest rates. So far they have only increased rates 25bps and have otherwise suspended the program after the market went apeshit after the first hike.
Exactly, over 2 Trillion dollars worth of debt o_0
What an absurd comment.
REITs were a screaming buy last November. This year you pay more. But, I still like REITs, especially in the medical office space.
Thanks for mentioning that. I appreciate it.
It helps to get information like that.
Yes, the REITs have been raging of late, so they are no longer a bargain. I figure they have another couple of years to run before rising interest rates start competing with their dividends and simultaneously harm their underlying businesses.
The REIT medical-office sector is a good long-term play. Same with senior housing given all the boomers are retiring.
I like this senior play despite the bad rap that Better Call Saul is giving them in one its storylines.
