AI Reality Check, Inflation Stress Test

U.S. equities stumbled as AI-bubble concerns overwhelmed otherwise resilient fundamentals, while September inflation ran hot but remained heavily energy-driven, complicating the Fed's path without clearly forcing an October hike. Treasuries rallied sharply despite hotter CPI and PPI, with the 2-Year reversing from 4.95% to 4.71% as dovish Fed signals and risk-off flows pushed October hike odds. Oil reemerged as the key macro pressure point, with WTI surging above $100 as Saudi and Hormuz risks intensified, threatening to reverse recent relief in gasoline and diesel prices.

2 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of September 2026

The broader equity markets, as represented by the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Indexes, traded at or near all-time highs. However, outside of tech, there was very little that was working, with rate pressures hitting most of the rest of the investment space. This month I continued to accumulate my cash pile but still did some buying in two funds that were particularly pressured by higher rates and widening discounts.

RQI: When A 10% Yield Doesn't Beat Risk-Free Treasuries

RQI offers a 9.7% yield and exposure to high-quality REIT sectors, including data centers, cell towers, and healthcare real estate. A narrowing NAV discount supports the investment case, but leverage and weakening distribution coverage limit the margin of safety. Despite attractive income, expected returns only modestly exceed Treasury yields, leading me to maintain a Hold rating on RQI.

How To Potentially Retire In Your 40s

We will discuss what it really takes to retire early and how to go about investing for early retirement, also known as FIRE (Financially Independent Retire Early).

A Switch From AWP To RQI May Be Warranted

abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund to Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund has underperformed RQI over the long run. RQI trades at a 9% discount to NAV, while AWP trades at a premium, despite RQI's stronger long-term NAV performance. AWP's 13.6% yield is unsustainable, with 10-year total returns at just 4.38%, whereas RQI's 7.11% annualized return aligns better with its 9.7% yield.

The Rate Shock That Didn't Break REITs

REITs are refusing to break despite another rate shock: the 10-Year Treasury reached 5%, yet REITs remain higher by roughly 7% in 2026 as the once-dominant rate correlation weakens further. Solid fundamentals are increasingly doing the heavy lifting, with healthy property-level cash flows, improving earnings visibility, strong dividend coverage, and better balance sheets helping REITs absorb the rate shock. Cooling supply increasingly reinforces fundamentals: excluding Data Centers, REIT development pipelines are roughly 40% below their 2022 peak and 2019 levels; Data Centers remain the exception at seven times 2019 levels.
