Worst trading day of the year. Is this just the beginning? Feels like it’s going to get worse

Somebody posted they wished they'd bought X and Y during the last downturn. Anybody with any ideas they've been waiting on? I'll start, CME, unfortunately it's very expensive and rarely comes down. It's a monopoly of sorts and Congress looked into it a decade ago but declined to do anything. It pays a modest dividend. Volatility from stock market drops isn't all that bad for them as it bouys their business of selling futures, etc. |

Boeing is getting closer to a buy, imo. I would probably wait til they have clarity on the timeline for the un-grounding of their fleet. I bet it will be longer than anticipated.

On shark tank last night Kevin was lamenting the low return on a potential investment and said that instead of investing the 250k in that company that he’d be better off putting it “in a reap and get 9%”.
Maybe it wasn’t “reap”, but it sounded similar. Is there such a thing as a guaranteed 9% these days? Or was it some stock thing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They tend to pay good dividends that can sometimes approach 9 percent, but they're a stock so the actual stock price can fluctuate. The return isn't guaranteed. I kind of like REITs as a relatively stable return with a high floor and low ceiling. When I'm retired, I'll probably put more of my money into them. If there's something with a guaranteed 9 percent return out there, I'd put 100 percent of my money into it. Such a thing doesn't exist, at least not in theory. |

I've bought into one REIT. MPT, which is "Medical Properties Trust". I have indirect knowledge of their management, and have high hopes that the medical community can pay their rent regularly and won't default as often as, perhaps, other types of businesses. It's done well for me, spitting out the dividends and it's up 37% since I bought it in July 2017. There are many others out there. They tend to focus, as MPT does, on a TYPE of real estate. If you have malls near you, it's likely one or more is owned by Simon Property Group -- which is a REIT that focuses on retail shopping centers. |

Note that MPW's return dividend yield is apparently 5.57%, so nowhere near 9%.
This laundry list doesn't have many that are anywhere near 9%. https://www.dividend.com/dividend-st...l/reit-retail/ |
