Small Cap Value stocks and momentum investing historically outperform the market. Right now I think that a large amount of REITs are undervalued. A recent transition that I've made within my portfolio is selling off fixed income due to perceived inflation and investing into "feel good" and "future" stocks. The feel good and future stocks performance have kicked my portfolio's ass in terms of returns and frankly is a good way to ride into the future. For example, I bought about $1k Tesla stock before the pandemic because I believed in the vision (understanding that their financials are pretty shit) and have made a decent return on it. 

For $50k, I would allocate:$15k to Market ETF (VOO), $7.5k to Small Cap Value, $7.5k to Momentum, $10k to select REITS, $3k to "feel good", $2k to select Tech stocks and $5k to YOLO strats

 

Don’t disagree with these but wonder if they weren’t the play early in the pandemic. Sunbelt markets are now trading at sub 4 caps. Imagine these markets will continue to do well with larger migration trends. Really wondering if it’s time to load up on the coastal REITs. Can’t see demand not coming back strong when vaccines are all rolled out and we get on top of the pandemic.

 

what do people think about PSTL? never heard of this until this morning but it's a fairly new REIT that basically owns post offices which are leased to USPS

 

5.35% dividend yield and has been steadily growing I think. seems like ownership of post offices is fragmented and this REIT has been swallowing up a lot of them quickly since being formed in 2019 but yet only owns about 5% maybe of all of the post offices leased to USPS in the country. seems like there is some runway to keep acquiring these post offices and increase earnings and raise the dividend in this highly specialized area that seems kind of safe with the property being leased to the government. thoughts?

 

I’ve been a big believer in BRG’s undervalued share price for years. They own in very attractive markets. It’s been years since I’ve done NAV but was excess of $14 using a high 4 / 5 cap. Given cap rates, have dropped dramatically in the South East, I wouldn’t be surprised if valuation has increased. Nowadays it feels like things are priced to a low 4 cap. 
 

They pay a 6% dividend to boot. Messy cap structure / governance but very few Multi REITs offering that kind of yield in those kind of attractive markets. Given the smaller cap, think they fly under the radar. 

 

you'll pay it down now, you'll have more money available to you for the next market crash, instead of watching your invested money disappearing. plus, piece of mind, if next economic downturn you are to lose your job, you won't have to sell your investments at 50% of initial value just to make a mortgage payment / pay for rent, instead you'll have your house all paid down and don't have to worry.

I have 100 percent of my net worth in Cryptocurrency, with half of it in Ethereum. Quite literally, I only have a few thousand dollars in my checking account to pay for basic necessities. There will ultimately be a dip, but from previous data of crypto bull runs, that's not going to happen until at least the end of the year. 

Also this time around, there is much more interest in Ethereum from institutions and the underlying code, ERC20, is also planned to have a major main net upgrade over the summer with the introduction of the EIP 1559 protocol. 

People always worry about crypto being too high and not buying in, but time in the markets is always more important than timing the markets. Although it would be smart if you could find a dip to buy into, when there's a lot of selling pressure because the asset is undervalued. However, keep in mind that the the most recent dips we saw in Ethereum that caused people to panic and sell, dipped 25-30 percent. That low is still higher than the peak that we saw a month ago. So yes, ethereum will crash and you will most likely have days where you're 100k+ in the red, but it keeps on crashing upwards. High volatility, but the trend is upwards.
