ogichobanovThe REIT market (VNQ) is vast and versatile, and just because two companies share the "REIT" acronym does not mean that they have anything else in common. To give you an example: you probably would agree that the fundamentals of an American farmland REIT are completely detached from those of a cell tower REIT operating in Africa or a Mexican industrial REIT. Even then, REITs will often trade as a group as if their fair value were closely correlated with one another. As you can imagine, this o ...

But I always remind myself that it’s only because of my so-called “life lessons” that I have become a more focused and disciplined investor. As a young investor, I always wanted to achieve instant gratification, which is another way of trying to get rich quickly. As Charlie Munger once said, “The ...

A view of researchers working in a lab. sanjeri/E+ via Getty Images To me, investing is all about analyzing trends and discerning where the economy and the world is heading. It's compatible with my calculating temperament and personality, so that's probably why I enjoy it so much. One trend that I still believe is showing no signs of slowing down is the need for breakthrough treatments and advances in existing treatments. As many advances have been made in recent years, more than 90% of rare diseases stil ...

Altayb Introduction The other day, I came across the chart below. While I usually don't use old charts - let alone charts that turned five years old earlier this year - there are two interesting findings. The average investor is horrible at managing his/her investments. In the 1999-2018 period, the average investor has returned just 1.9% per year. That's below the average annual inflation rate of 2.2%. During this period, the S&P 500 has returned 5.6% per year. REITs have been a great place to put money, ...
