We have owned this REIT since the start of 2016, and it has posted an impressive total return. However, its valuation remains reasonable considering it growth prospects, and we expect another dividend increase soon.
Our Current Retail Exposure, Plus An Interesting Investment Idea
As the “Death of Retail” narrative grows, and investors fear that online retailers (like Amazon) will put all “brick and mortar” stores (like Sears, Macy’s and shopping malls) out of business, we are starting to see some interesting opportunities. This article reviews our current exposure to “brick and mortar” retail, and then shares an interesting investment idea for brave contrarian investors to consider.
This Stock Yields >5%, Shares Are Attractively Priced
This week’s Blue Harbinger Weekly shares a compelling +5% yield opportunity, and the shares have sold off so far this month thereby making for a more attractive entry point, in our view. This company will benefit from the growing retail sector and doesn’t run the risk of getting “Amazoned” because it is indifferent between serving online versus brick and mortar retail customers.
A Post-Earnings Update on One of Our Big-Yielders
One of our colleagues had a great line during his CNBC interview this week. He said: “As an investor, the pain of buying at 100 and watching something go to 10, is only trumped by the pain of actually selling something at 10 and watching it go to 100.” The post-earnings selloff this article discusses wasn’t anywhere near that extreme, but we do believe the worst is behind the company.
A Double-Digit Yield Worth Considering
If you are an income-focused investor, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective, then you may want to consider the double-digit yield offered by the stock we review in this article. Specifically, we detail the bull-side arguments, followed by a few bear-case caveats, and conclude with our views on how investors should consider this opportunity.
An Attractive “Disciplined Growth” Stock, On Sale
At Blue Harbinger, we tend to write frequently about investments that pay big dividends. However, not all attractive investments pay a dividend. This article focuses on an attractive “disciplined growth” company, that currently pays zero dividend, but has very attractive price appreciation potential, and it is currently “on sale,” in our view.
A Brief Update on Each of Our Current Holdings
We finished July with positive returns for all three of our Blue Harbinger strategies (Income Equity, Disciplined Growth, and Smart Beta), and all three strategies continue to outperform the S&P 500 since their inception. This report provides a brief update on each of our current positions. We believe there is significantly more upside ahead.
