This is the sixth (and final) comparison article in my current series. You can find the previous ones here. This will be the end of the series in which I compare single-stock ETF results. I have enjoyed putting together my “dog fight” series of articles, comparing the results of ETFs operating in the new category […]
When the coronavirus pandemic-related shutdowns hit the economy, EPR Properties (EPR), a real estate investment trust (REIT), was possibly the hardest-hit stock in the U.S. It is a testament to the management team’s talents that EPR has again become an REIT that every income-focused investor should know. Before the pandemic, EPR was an income machine. […]
Over the last couple of years, there has been a massive increase in new ETFs that employ more advanced portfolio management and options strategies. Earlier this year, we launched our ETF Income Edge service to help investors navigate the sometimes-bewildering world of these new types of ETFs. For example, we explain how an ETF can […]

This is a REIT tale that I have a bit of trouble telling. My timing on a particular REIT was not good, and my subscribers missed out on a nice gain. However, there is a good lesson here – and it shows why REITs are undervalued right now. Let’s take a look at why now […]
Real estate investment trust (REIT) values are inversely sensitive to rising interest rates. With the Federal Reserve starting the most rapid rate increase trajectory in history two years ago, REIT values have fallen by about 35% over the same two years. With interest rates likely to stay higher for longer, what are the prospects for […]
Investing for dividend growth is one of the most reliable long-term wealth-building strategies. For my Monthly Dividend Multiplier service subscribers, I recommend some additional portfolio management techniques to enhance long-term total returns. Looking at the long-term results of stocks that steadily grow their dividends, the average compound total return growth rate (CAGR) will end up […]
