Don't Chase the Highs, Chase What's Coming

Dear Tejas,

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both hit all-time highs this week after a tentative ceasefire in the Middle East, progress on new trade deals, and new signs that the Fed might be willing to cut.

And while investors celebrate record highs, Brad zeroes in on one sector that still screams value – real estate. Be sure to check out Wednesday’s issue to see why, years from now, investors will be kicking themselves for not picking up premiere real estate investment trusts at today’s levels.

Embrace the 'Law of Failure'

In order to be truly successful, you must admit your mistakes. Brad and many others have learned this the hard way. But, if more investors – and government officials – can take on this approach, they may be pleasantly surprised about their accomplishments.

The True Cost of War

Sometimes, war happens… quickly. And with the ongoing attacks and conflicts overseas, the case for defense stocks is clear. While there are several to choose from, Brad has one in particular in his sights that is trading at a significant discount.

All the Ingredients for a Real Estate Resurgence

Interest rates have held steady since December. But that may be changing soon. And if rates are coming down in the months ahead, it makes sense to look at rate-sensitive assets like commercial real estate right now. And Brad has his eyes wide open for the best opportunities.

AI is revolutionizing tech, but it is far from flawless. And there are much easier and safer ways to make money from the technology without investing in it directly...

The Wide Moat Show: Cash In: Stocks That Pay You to Own Them

Many investors want high-yield stocks. And Brad and Nick look toward real estate investment trusts and business development companies to bring just that. Which is why they break down eight high-yield stocks that can supercharge investors' passive-income portfolios.

Why Every Investor Needs a Plan B

Putting all your eggs in one basket can lead to trouble. Brad learned that the hard way. Now, he always has a Plan B. On Friday, he shows why you should, too.

Even the CEO of IBM Got This Wrong

Business mistakes of the past tell us something about the artificial-intelligence revolution today. Not all Internet-related stocks are big winners... But you must also avoid the big losers.

The Wide Moat Show

If you're an investor looking for high-yield investments, look no further.

Assets like real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and business development companies ("BDCs") may not be on many investor's radars, but we think of them as "yield enhancers." That's because some yield as high as double digits.

Despite this, they possess all the sleep-well-at-night (SWAN) qualities we look for in our investments.

Be sure to catch it all right here.
