The Only 2 Places I'd Trust With My Retirement Money Right Now
Long-term investing works best when you stay put. Selling in downturns often means missing the best days that drive wealth. In a world of rapid AI disruption, I want my money in areas where disruption risks are minimal and income streams stay reliable. I've found two places that offer bulletproof income, essential assets, and resilience, exactly what I'd trust for retirement security.

My #1 Place To Buy Undervalued Income - And 3 Picks I'm Betting On Now
I believe the US is the top real estate bet, politics aside. My portfolio is 100% North American, mostly US stocks, due to their edge over global markets. REITs are undervalued after weak returns, with historic S&P 500 discounts. Low correlation and rising NOI make them ideal for income and diversification. My favorite income spot: three picks with strong balance sheets and strategic edges in resilient sectors, poised for long-term outperformance.

Goodbye Growth? Here's What I'm Buying As Value Mounts A Comeback
Tech sector capital investment is surging, but enterprise AI adoption is showing disappointing returns, with 95% seeing zero ROI per an MIT study. This disconnect raises concerns about who will ultimately pay for the ongoing AI investment if enterprise customers remain slow to realize benefits. Recent underperformance in growth tech stocks reflects these doubts, while value-oriented dividend stocks have demonstrated resilience and defensiveness.

6 Stocks I'm Buying As Tariffs Weigh Down The Economy (Chart Storm!)
Inflation is in a tug of war: Disinflationary housing offsets inflationary tariffs, but tariffs will increasingly push consumer prices higher over the next year. The economy and stock market are both K-shaped, with affluent consumers and AI-related stocks thriving while others struggle or stagnate. Despite these divergences, I remain committed to value-oriented dividend growth investing, focusing on stocks with strong yields and growth potential.

Disinflation Dividend: REIT Earnings Scorecard
A surprising solid REIT earnings season wrapped up this week. Of the 100 equity REITs that provide full-year FFO guidance, 62% raised their outlook - above the historical 55% average. Disinflation was a surprisingly common thread across second-quarter results, with the majority of the upside revisions being driven by improved expense expectations - the highest quantity of expense reductions ever. Healthcare REITs were notable upside standouts as senior housing fundamentals remained stellar, while skilled nursing REITs received some good news on the policy front via healthy CMS Medicare rate increases.

How I've Built A Monster Passive Income Portfolio (And What I'm Buying Now)
I remain committed to dividend growth investing, adapting my strategy to balance growth, yield, and defensiveness amid demographic and economic shifts. My 'galley ship' portfolio model uses ballast (cash), rowers (compounders), and sails (high-yielders) to optimize for both income growth and stability. Recent portfolio adjustments focus on defensive, recession-resistant stocks and ETFs, emphasizing passive income growth regardless of market cycles.

2 'Wide Moat' REITs That Are Hard To Beat
I focus on 'wide moat' REITs with durable competitive advantages and strong valuation discounts for superior risk-adjusted returns. Equity LifeStyle boasts resilient demand drivers, high switching costs, robust brand engagement, and a stellar financial track record, now trading at multi-year lows. EastGroup leverages network-effect clusters, diversified tenants, and disciplined development, offering strong growth, a fortress balance sheet, and attractive valuation.

My Favorite Retirement Combo: A Grower And A Gusher I Actually Like
Dividends are a powerful tool for building wealth and achieving financial independence, as highlighted by Rockefeller and Buffett. Most Americans, especially median and low-income earners, face a significant retirement savings gap and risk relying solely on Social Security. Chasing the highest-yielding dividend stocks can lead to poor investment outcomes, including dividend cuts and capital losses.
