Opinions from "experts" very varied; no sure win formula. Prefer having a few strong stocks with consistent dividend payouts; avoid "risky" stocks with likely sudden high gain / loss.

Remember growing up with Post Office Savings Bank (POSB was subsequently acquired by DBS) which has very good national campaigns to help cultivate saving habits from young age and then save-as-you-earn. Nice to have some savings as source of fund for various investment options and lately into stocks with Tiger brokers. Look forward to continue trade and invest in strong banks like $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$ , $OVERSEA-CHINESE BANKING CORP(O39.SI)$ and $UNITED OVERSEAS BANK LIMITED(U11.SI)$ which are really good stocks with proven track record of reliable dividend payout to save more for retirement.//

Still expect high volatility in 2024, go for strong stocks that pay consistent dividends. One good choice is DBS: high trading volume with regular qtrly dividends and potential bonus dividend will trigger up price.

Driven by a strategic global expansion and an unwavering commitment to fintech innovation, the Company&#39;s revenue for the quarter reached US$66.1 million, marking a 23.5% year-over-year (YoY) increase. The non-GAAP profit attributable to UP Fintech soared to US$15.3 million, up 48.4% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and nearly 3.4 times YoY, achieving a two-year record high, surpassing the previous year&#39;s total.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">During the second quarter, 58,582 new customer accounts were added to UP Fintech&#39;s global portfolio, bringing the total to 2.12 million. A total of 29,077 new customers with deposits (funded accounts) were added this quarter, elevating the total number of funded accounts to 840,931, marking a 15% increase YoY.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The total trading volume by customers on the Company&#39;s platform reached US$65.1 billion during the second quarter, with US$19.3 billion attributed to stock trading. Additionally, 7.76 million options and futures contracts were traded by clients. Customer assets saw a significant increase, amounting to US$17.3 billion during the reporting period, a rise of 16.2% YoY. Moreover, the quarterly net asset inflow approached the substantial figure of US$1.6 billion, reflecting the strong trust and engagement the Company continues to foster within its client base.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>CEO highlights: strong performance, global expansion, and innovation</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Wu Tianhua, CEO and founder of UP Fintech, said: &#34;The second quarter marked a period of gradual recovery in the overall market, and UP Fintech&#39;s performance mirrored this trend. Our revenue remained stable and showed encouraging improvement, culminating in a double-digit growth year-over-year. The non-GAAP net profit&#39;s significant growth, surpassing the total of the previous year, underscores our strong financial position.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;In the realm of international expansion, we are proud to report robust growth in our global customers with deposits. With nearly 60,000 funded clients acquired in the first half, we&#39;ve surpassed the halfway mark of our ambitious 100,000 new customer target for the year. Our strategic launch of diverse wealth management products in pivotal markets such as Singapore and Hong Kong has resonated well with our clientele. These initiatives offer more financial choices in an unpredictable market landscape. Separately, Australia&#39;s record growth underscores our global expansion success.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;As for product innovation, the second quarter saw the significant launch of our Hong Kong stock AIP (automatic investment plan). This positions Tiger Trade as one of the few platforms offering the AIP feature in both Hong Kong and U.S. stocks. By enabling small-amount investors to access high-priced stocks of premium companies, we have further democratized investment opportunities and broadened our reach.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#34;Looking to the future, our commitment to product and technological innovation remains unwavering. We will continue to fortify our leading positions in existing markets through quality financial services, streamline operations, and enhance efficiency. Our confidence in this strategic direction is steadfast, and we believe it will fuel sustainable growth, forging greater value for our customers and shareholders alike.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Singapore: services introduced for high-net-worth clients</strong><br/><strong>Hong Kong, Australia: broadened product portfolio</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the second quarter, the Company further strengthened its presence in Singapore, a key strategic market. The Capital Market Services License (LMS) from the Monetary Authority of Singapore was obtained, followed by the subsequent launch of Tiger Fund Management (TFM) services.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Targeting Singapore-centric investment themes such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), banking, and technology, TFM aims to secure long-term returns for high-net-worth clients. This initiative enhances the firm&#39;s wealth management capabilities in Singapore, where a remarkable monthly sequential growth rate in fund sales of up to 43% was observed during the quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Celebrating the Company&#39;s ninth anniversary, a series of offline events were hosted across Singapore&#39;s business districts, attracting over 10,000 participants and strengthening connections with clients.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Hong Kong market experienced significant growth in Q2, with new funded account numbers nearly tripling sequentially. The product portfolio was expanded, adding Hong Kong Hang Seng Index futures and global futures.  This quarter also marked the introduction of Tiger Vault, a cash management service featuring Hong Kong dollar and U.S. dollar money market funds. With a daily average yield of over US$ 1.3 per US$ 10,000 investment*, these innovative funds have outperformed similar products in Hong Kong. Creative marketing efforts, including themed vehicles, resonated with the public, enhancing brand awareness and appeal.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The number of funding customers in Australia reached a record high in the quarter, nearly doubling sequentially. An innovative uninvested cash interest service, with a U.S. dollar annual interest rate of up to 3.25%, received widespread acclaim, reflecting our commitment to benefiting customers. Recognition also came through awards such as the 2023 Outstanding Value Award from Canstar and the 2023 Expert&#39;s Choice from Mozo.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In New Zealand, the company collaborated with Massey University and the University of Otago to extend educational initiatives, promoting financial literacy through simulated trading activities and special lectures.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Hong Kong stock AIP launched with investment threshold at HK$500</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>TigerGPT officially unveiled in Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, and Hong Kong</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the second quarter, commission income reached US$22.0 million, and interest-related income climbed to US$39.3 million, marking a QoQ increase of approximately 5%. This financial performance coincides with the Company&#39;s ongoing commitment to innovation, demonstrated by the introduction of transformative features such as the Hong Kong stock automatic investment plan (AIP) and the AI-powered investment assistant, TigerGPT.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The introduction of the Hong Kong stock AIP lowers the entry threshold to the Hong Kong stock market to just HKD 500. With flexible investment plans available on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis, the Company is democratizing investment, leading the industry with unparalleled accessibility and adaptability.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">TigerGPT, following a successful beta testing, was officially unveiled to users in Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, and Hong Kong. TigerGPT&#39;s multi-round dialogue system delivers personalized content, enabling investors to rapidly access individual stock insights, distill key points from earnings calls, gauge market trends, and discern investor sentiment. This innovation significantly amplifies investment research efficiency and is seamlessly integrated with individual stock targets, alerting users to abnormal trading patterns or significant market events.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Company&#39;s wealth management business also saw robust growth, with a quarter-over-quarter increase of 41% in assets under management (AUM) and a 29% growth in users. The cash management product, &#34;Tiger Vault,&#34; experienced a 44% surge in AUM and a 36% growth in users. Tiger Vault&#39;s unique ability to directly purchase stocks, options, funds, and IPO subscriptions offers customers a seamless and integrated investment experience. Notably, around 17% of new customers who funded their accounts this quarter have included wealth management products in their portfolios.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>UP Fintech in top three for Hong Kong stock underwriting</strong><br/><strong>ESOP Client Engagement further strengthened</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">During the reporting period, the Company&#39;s other revenues, encompassing services such as investment banking and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), amounted to US$4.8 million.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the U.S., the Company&#39;s investment banking division acted as the exclusive lead underwriter for Ispire Technology Lmt.&#39;s IPO. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, the Company underwrote six IPO projects during the quarter. Having underwritten 13 Hong Kong stock IPOs in the first half of the year, the Company now ranks among the top three for Hong Kong stock underwriting, confirmed by third-party data provider Wind.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the ESOP front, the Company&#39;s brand UponeShare welcomed 30 new corporate clients during the quarter, elevating the total number of corporate clients to 478, a 31.3% increase YoY. The second quarter witnessed a substantial YoY growth in repurchase rate, exceeding 2.6 times, and a 15.7% QoQ growth, reinforcing client engagement.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"> </p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">*Example based on underlying Bosera USD Money Market Fund A shares.

IMDb user Jwelch5742 sums it up like this:</p><blockquote><i>“In 2008, Wall Street guru Michael Burry realizes that a number of subprime home loans are in danger of defaulting. Burry bets against the housing market by throwing more than $1 billion of his investors’ money into credit default swaps.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>His actions attract the attention of banker Jared Vennett, hedge-fund specialist Mark Baum, and other greedy opportunists. Together, these men make a fortune by taking full advantage of the impending economic collapse in America.”</i></blockquote><p>Let me highlight the words “bets against.” Because that’s what shorting is. It’s putting money down on the belief that something – usually a stock – is going to fall.</p><p>If it does, the shorter makes money. If not, though, there’s a lot to lose.</p><h2><b>Get Your Squeezes From Your Honey (You’ll Save a Lot of Money)</b></h2><p>22 years ago – over a decade before <i>The Big Short</i> was a concept, much less a production – <i>The Street</i>published a piece titled “Squeeze Play: What Happens When Short-Selling Goes Bad.”</p><p>It’s something I quoted in a short-focused article of my own on August 21, and I’m going to quote it again today:</p><blockquote><i>“To many investors, short sellers are evil. They try to profit from falling stock prices, preying on companies and making stocks fall even further.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>“… but short sellers can also cause a stock to rise if they’re forced en masse to buy back the shares they sold short. Meet what’s called the short squeeze.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>“In a short sale, an investor borrows stock from a broker and sells those shares into the market with the understanding that the shares must be bought back at a future date and returned to the broker.”</i></blockquote><p>As such…</p><blockquote><i>“If the stock falls, the investor buys back the stock at a cheaper price, making money on the trade. If the stock rises, the investor has two choices: Wait for the stock to come back down, leaving the short seller exposed to potentially greater losses, or buy it back and realize a loss.”</i></blockquote><p>That’s why, the last time I cited those paragraphs, I added this two cents’ worth: “Really, shorting is rarely worth it. Even when it’s profitable, you’re bound to lose a lot of sleep in the process.”</p><p>That’s certainly what happened with <b>GameStop Corp.</b> (GME) and so many other ultimately ill-fated meme stocks, last year especially. While most of the “little guy” investors who followed the cry to (pardon my French) screw over the shorts got the short end of the stick in the end, too…</p><p>They did succeed in making “the man” lose out intensely.</p><h2><b>Long vs. Short</b></h2><p>In “short,” shorting a stock is playing with fire. That’s especially true of real estate investment trusts (&#34;REITs&#34;).</p><p>As I wrote in the previously referenced “Innovative Industrial: Short This REIT and Watch Your Savings Go Up in Smoke”:</p><blockquote><i>“Let me be succinct: You should never short a REIT unless you have a rock-solid short thesis.”</i></blockquote><p>Which, incidentally, almost never exists. Besides:</p><blockquote><i>“Most important [of the negative factors involved in shorting] is the fact that the borrower of the stock is responsible for paying any dividends to the lenders.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>“So investors who short a stock are never entitled to dividends, and that includes those [who are] short a stock on its dividend record date. Rather, short sellers owe any declared dividend payments to the shares’ lenders.”</i></blockquote><p>If that doesn’t sound like fun, you’d be right. And the chances of being profitable aren’t great, either. Over my almost 12 years of writing on Seeking Alpha, I’ve never once seen a REIT get shorted by a hedge fund – the usual culprits in such schemes – successfully. Or at least successfully enough to make it worth the headaches.</p><p>Instead, there are plenty of cases where these big-wig firms ended up losing out intensely. For examples of that, I’ll refer you to another article I mentioned in the beginning: “Why Would You Short Digital Realty Anyway?”</p><p>Otherwise, going back to that “Innovative Industrial” piece one more time:</p><blockquote><i>“As I said earlier, shorting REITs is not recommended, especially when you’re attempting to profit from a well-managed firm that provides tremendous transparency and rock-solid fundamentals.”</i></blockquote><p>Cue three REITs that are being short sold as I write this… all of which I’m buying up.</p><h2><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MPW\">Medical Properties Trust</a>, Inc. (MPW)</b></h2><p>I’m sure most of you are familiar with MPW, a hospital-focused REIT that’s been appearing on Seeking Alpha and other media outlets quite a bit. Just take a look at the price action below:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/314cdb8dacf5c9c5972c98bd39bf307b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"345\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Yahoo Finance</p><p>As you can see, MPW hit $24 per share just before Covid-19 and then rebounded again to $24 in January 2022, and then sentiment forced shares to slide all the way back to $10.14 per share in early October.</p><p>There’s no need to go into my short debunking, as I have already done so HERE and HERE. The most important thing to know about this REIT is that management delivered the goods in Q3-22, and Mr. Market was listening.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e92277dfef59d64f93fd6168c7bbb1e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"348\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Yahoo Finance</p><p>Now, let me be perfectly clear, it’s way too early to wave the victory flag, just because MPW shares were up around 11.5% last week. However, MPW gave its investors some excellent response to some of the lingering headline issues, as addressed by management last week,</p><blockquote><i>“…we are seeing some positive trends over the last couple of months within the health care sector that are worth noting. Volumes have fluctuated throughout 2022, but August saw increasing volumes which have provided a good boost in revenues.”</i></blockquote><p>Our operators are actively negotiating new contracts with their payers and expect to be successful in negotiating increased reimbursement rates that are even greater than CMS increases.</p><p>Our underwriting and managing of these assets are not done in a vacuum, nor on a quarter-to-quarter time span. We see the forest; we&#39;ve seen our portfolio go through numerous cycles over the years. Hospitals have always adapted to whatever the new norm and then they do it again.</p><p>We fully expect that our (Pipeline) rents will continue to be paid and our hospitals will continue to serve their respective communities during the duration of the bankruptcy process.</p><p>The value of Steward&#39;s Utah operations did not suddenly go away just because one particular operator faced antitrust issues.</p><p>On a weighted average basis, Steward&#39;s EBITDARM coverage in these markets has ranged from 2.7 times for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2022, to in excess of three times preliminarily for a stand-alone August. With these coverages, Steward appears well able to continue paying MPT rent.</p><p>At the end of Q3-22, MPW had cash and revolver capacity of around $1.5 billion, and recently the company restated and amended its $2 billion revolving credit facility and extended its term to mature with extension options to June of 2026.</p><p>In addition to the $1.5 billion, MPW previously announced it expected proceeds in 2023&#39;s first half from pending transactions, that is, Springstone and Yale, of up to another $650 million.</p><p>MPW generated normalized funds from operations (&#34;FFO&#34;) of $0.45 per diluted share in Q3-22 and refined its 2022 calendar year estimate to a range of $1.80 to $1.82 per share (narrowing the previous range to the higher end).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd568f81f0f6781a207504a0776c5985\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"386\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>While MPW has obviously slowed its recent years acquisition pace, the company should still maintain solid organic growth, as the CEO told me in our one-on-one interview a few weeks ago,</p><blockquote><i>“It starts with FFO growth, and we have escalators that helps us in periods of high inflation. These will be re-adjusted in January. We don’t need to acquire new assets to grow.”</i></blockquote><p>iREIT’s conservative total return projection for MPW is 30% over 12-months, and we believe that it could be as high as 50%. We’ll continue to monitor the company and I plan to visit several properties when I visit Europe in a few more weeks.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cfd03057f650ae515cb645e08c780b24\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"391\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><h2><b>Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR)</b></h2><p>DLR has also been the victim of shorts, specifically Jim Chanos, founder of Kynikos Associates, now known as Chanos &amp; Company. He came out with his data center short thesis, and his premise of the trade was that hyperscalers (customers of DLR) are essentially the enemy.</p><p>He believes that eventually these hyperscalers will digest DLR&#39;s core business and bring it into the cloud, and the necessity of the kind of hybrid private, public cloud, public provider won&#39;t be there anymore. Again, I debunked this silly short thesis HERE.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e7c9583861ad8bfa80ecd0961b9d2cbd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"342\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Yahoo Finance</p><p>As you can see, DLR hit an all-time high of $176.87 in late December 2021, and has since fallen by over 42% in 2022, with a recent close of $101.39 per share. Keep in mind, the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) is down around 28% YTD, so certainly rising rates have fueled the short-sellers&#39; fire.</p><p>Last week, DLR delivered what appeared to be solid earnings, highlighted by the following:</p><ol><li>A record $176 million of new bookings, making the third time in the past 4 quarters that bookings have exceeded $150 million.</li><li>Core FFO per share was $1.67 despite stiff FX and interest rate headwinds.</li><li>Successfully completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Teraco, a leading carrier and cloud-neutral data center and interconnection services provider in South Africa</li><li>Sold a noncore mixed-use data center property in Dallas for $206 million.</li></ol><p>Importantly, DLR has shifted cadence toward further insulating its portfolio from the effects of inflation through the addition of CPI-based escalators into new leases. Currently, more than 95% of the portfolio includes rent escalation clauses, and less than 20% are specifically tied to CPI, while the balance are fixed.</p><p>In DLR’s highest leasing volume quarter ever, it was able to achieve CPI-based escalators on 40% of the leases signed in the quarter, which demonstrates the resolve and DLR customers&#39; acknowledgment of this important factor.</p><p>Also, in Q3-22 DLR reported that its leverage ratio was 6.7x and its fixed charge coverage ratio was 5.5x. Since the last earnings call, DLR has raised or received commitments for approximately $2 billion of debt capital at an effective blended average of just over 3%.</p><p>So, with cash and forward equity outstanding totaling more than $700 million, the company has increased its current available liquidity to approximately $3 billion.</p><p>Also, in Q3-22 Core FFO per share was $.167, which includes a $0.03 benefit from a lower share count. AFFO per share was $1.50. missing consensus (of $1.58) of ~$0.06 due to impact from maintenance capex timing. The 2022 FFO per share guidance midpoint is $6.725, lowered from $6.80 to account for f/x and rate headwinds.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b2391f3e6d35b6434a6cdb3ae8e7cb1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"405\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>We consider DLR an attractive Buy at this time, based upon the record leasing quarter, ongoing demand strength, conservative development pipeline (that has the highest level of pre-leasing since Q2-18), and a pricing environment that has substantially improved and should soon begin to flow through (tightening supply, rising costs, strong demand and declining vacancy rates).</p><p>iREIT&#39;s realistic total return target for the next 12 months is 25%, and given the success of the management team, we consider 30% annual returns achievable.

We&#39;re poised to take advantage of this public policy development, and yet financial markets aren&#39;t reflecting that. So we&#39;re hoping that reverses itself sometime soon.</p><p>We view residential solar leases as being a very non-cyclical consumer category, however, and so this is essentially the energy to the home. It also represents a savings, particularly now as natural gas prices have risen.</p><blockquote><i>…we&#39;ve positioned ourselves that we can continue to grow without accessing the public debt markets. So that&#39;s exactly what you want is to have enough diversity in the liquidity profile, so you&#39;re not forced to do anything at the wrong time.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>… we have many alternatives and we&#39;re very conservative with how we manage liquidity and capital.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>Our guidance right now is that our distributable EPS will grow annually by 10% to 13% through 2024, and our dividend will grow annually 5% to 8% through 2024.”</i></blockquote><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8aa7e140e4a5d8ebc267b5833ee13c16\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"423\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>We consider HASI attractive given its extremely stable and predictable earnings growth.

Members of iREIT on Alpha get exclusive ideas and guidance to navigate any climate.To explain what shorting a stock is, I’ll turn to IMDb, which catalogues countless movies and TV shows – who starred in them, their most notable quotes, their plot breakdowns, etc.This includes for The Big Short, a 2015 film based off Michael Lewis’ best-selling, same-named, true-story-based book. IMDb user Jwelch5742 sums it up like this:“In 2008, Wall Street guru Michael Burry realizes that a number of subprime home loans are in danger of defaulting. Burry bets against the housing market by throwing more than $1 billion of his investors’ money into credit default swaps.His actions attract the attention of banker Jared Vennett, hedge-fund specialist Mark Baum, and other greedy opportunists. Together, these men make a fortune by taking full advantage of the impending economic collapse in America.”Let me highlight the words “bets against.” Because that’s what shorting is. It’s putting money down on the belief that something – usually a stock – is going to fall.If it does, the shorter makes money. If not, though, there’s a lot to lose.Get Your Squeezes From Your Honey (You’ll Save a Lot of Money)22 years ago – over a decade before The Big Short was a concept, much less a production – The Streetpublished a piece titled “Squeeze Play: What Happens When Short-Selling Goes Bad.”It’s something I quoted in a short-focused article of my own on August 21, and I’m going to quote it again today:“To many investors, short sellers are evil. They try to profit from falling stock prices, preying on companies and making stocks fall even further.“… but short sellers can also cause a stock to rise if they’re forced en masse to buy back the shares they sold short. Meet what’s called the short squeeze.“In a short sale, an investor borrows stock from a broker and sells those shares into the market with the understanding that the shares must be bought back at a future date and returned to the broker.”As such…“If the stock falls, the investor buys back the stock at a cheaper price, making money on the trade. If the stock rises, the investor has two choices: Wait for the stock to come back down, leaving the short seller exposed to potentially greater losses, or buy it back and realize a loss.”That’s why, the last time I cited those paragraphs, I added this two cents’ worth: “Really, shorting is rarely worth it. Even when it’s profitable, you’re bound to lose a lot of sleep in the process.”That’s certainly what happened with GameStop Corp. (GME) and so many other ultimately ill-fated meme stocks, last year especially. While most of the “little guy” investors who followed the cry to (pardon my French) screw over the shorts got the short end of the stick in the end, too…They did succeed in making “the man” lose out intensely.Long vs. ShortIn “short,” shorting a stock is playing with fire. That’s especially true of real estate investment trusts (\"REITs\").As I wrote in the previously referenced “Innovative Industrial: Short This REIT and Watch Your Savings Go Up in Smoke”:“Let me be succinct: You should never short a REIT unless you have a rock-solid short thesis.”Which, incidentally, almost never exists. Besides:“Most important [of the negative factors involved in shorting] is the fact that the borrower of the stock is responsible for paying any dividends to the lenders.“So investors who short a stock are never entitled to dividends, and that includes those [who are] short a stock on its dividend record date. Rather, short sellers owe any declared dividend payments to the shares’ lenders.”If that doesn’t sound like fun, you’d be right. And the chances of being profitable aren’t great, either. Over my almost 12 years of writing on Seeking Alpha, I’ve never once seen a REIT get shorted by a hedge fund – the usual culprits in such schemes – successfully. Or at least successfully enough to make it worth the headaches.Instead, there are plenty of cases where these big-wig firms ended up losing out intensely. For examples of that, I’ll refer you to another article I mentioned in the beginning: “Why Would You Short Digital Realty Anyway?”Otherwise, going back to that “Innovative Industrial” piece one more time:“As I said earlier, shorting REITs is not recommended, especially when you’re attempting to profit from a well-managed firm that provides tremendous transparency and rock-solid fundamentals.”Cue three REITs that are being short sold as I write this… all of which I’m buying up.Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (MPW)I’m sure most of you are familiar with MPW, a hospital-focused REIT that’s been appearing on Seeking Alpha and other media outlets quite a bit. Just take a look at the price action below:Yahoo FinanceAs you can see, MPW hit $24 per share just before Covid-19 and then rebounded again to $24 in January 2022, and then sentiment forced shares to slide all the way back to $10.14 per share in early October.There’s no need to go into my short debunking, as I have already done so HERE and HERE. The most important thing to know about this REIT is that management delivered the goods in Q3-22, and Mr. Market was listening.Yahoo FinanceNow, let me be perfectly clear, it’s way too early to wave the victory flag, just because MPW shares were up around 11.5% last week. However, MPW gave its investors some excellent response to some of the lingering headline issues, as addressed by management last week,“…we are seeing some positive trends over the last couple of months within the health care sector that are worth noting. Volumes have fluctuated throughout 2022, but August saw increasing volumes which have provided a good boost in revenues.”Our operators are actively negotiating new contracts with their payers and expect to be successful in negotiating increased reimbursement rates that are even greater than CMS increases.Our underwriting and managing of these assets are not done in a vacuum, nor on a quarter-to-quarter time span. We see the forest; we've seen our portfolio go through numerous cycles over the years. Hospitals have always adapted to whatever the new norm and then they do it again.We fully expect that our (Pipeline) rents will continue to be paid and our hospitals will continue to serve their respective communities during the duration of the bankruptcy process.The value of Steward's Utah operations did not suddenly go away just because one particular operator faced antitrust issues.On a weighted average basis, Steward's EBITDARM coverage in these markets has ranged from 2.7 times for the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2022, to in excess of three times preliminarily for a stand-alone August. With these coverages, Steward appears well able to continue paying MPT rent.At the end of Q3-22, MPW had cash and revolver capacity of around $1.5 billion, and recently the company restated and amended its $2 billion revolving credit facility and extended its term to mature with extension options to June of 2026.In addition to the $1.5 billion, MPW previously announced it expected proceeds in 2023's first half from pending transactions, that is, Springstone and Yale, of up to another $650 million.MPW generated normalized funds from operations (\"FFO\") of $0.45 per diluted share in Q3-22 and refined its 2022 calendar year estimate to a range of $1.80 to $1.82 per share (narrowing the previous range to the higher end).FAST GraphsWhile MPW has obviously slowed its recent years acquisition pace, the company should still maintain solid organic growth, as the CEO told me in our one-on-one interview a few weeks ago,“It starts with FFO growth, and we have escalators that helps us in periods of high inflation. These will be re-adjusted in January. We don’t need to acquire new assets to grow.”iREIT’s conservative total return projection for MPW is 30% over 12-months, and we believe that it could be as high as 50%. We’ll continue to monitor the company and I plan to visit several properties when I visit Europe in a few more weeks.FAST GraphsDigital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR)DLR has also been the victim of shorts, specifically Jim Chanos, founder of Kynikos Associates, now known as Chanos & Company. He came out with his data center short thesis, and his premise of the trade was that hyperscalers (customers of DLR) are essentially the enemy.He believes that eventually these hyperscalers will digest DLR's core business and bring it into the cloud, and the necessity of the kind of hybrid private, public cloud, public provider won't be there anymore. Again, I debunked this silly short thesis HERE.Yahoo FinanceAs you can see, DLR hit an all-time high of $176.87 in late December 2021, and has since fallen by over 42% in 2022, with a recent close of $101.39 per share. Keep in mind, the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) is down around 28% YTD, so certainly rising rates have fueled the short-sellers' fire.Last week, DLR delivered what appeared to be solid earnings, highlighted by the following:A record $176 million of new bookings, making the third time in the past 4 quarters that bookings have exceeded $150 million.Core FFO per share was $1.67 despite stiff FX and interest rate headwinds.Successfully completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Teraco, a leading carrier and cloud-neutral data center and interconnection services provider in South AfricaSold a noncore mixed-use data center property in Dallas for $206 million.Importantly, DLR has shifted cadence toward further insulating its portfolio from the effects of inflation through the addition of CPI-based escalators into new leases. Currently, more than 95% of the portfolio includes rent escalation clauses, and less than 20% are specifically tied to CPI, while the balance are fixed.In DLR’s highest leasing volume quarter ever, it was able to achieve CPI-based escalators on 40% of the leases signed in the quarter, which demonstrates the resolve and DLR customers' acknowledgment of this important factor.Also, in Q3-22 DLR reported that its leverage ratio was 6.7x and its fixed charge coverage ratio was 5.5x. Since the last earnings call, DLR has raised or received commitments for approximately $2 billion of debt capital at an effective blended average of just over 3%.So, with cash and forward equity outstanding totaling more than $700 million, the company has increased its current available liquidity to approximately $3 billion.Also, in Q3-22 Core FFO per share was $.167, which includes a $0.03 benefit from a lower share count. AFFO per share was $1.50. missing consensus (of $1.58) of ~$0.06 due to impact from maintenance capex timing. The 2022 FFO per share guidance midpoint is $6.725, lowered from $6.80 to account for f/x and rate headwinds.FAST GraphsWe consider DLR an attractive Buy at this time, based upon the record leasing quarter, ongoing demand strength, conservative development pipeline (that has the highest level of pre-leasing since Q2-18), and a pricing environment that has substantially improved and should soon begin to flow through (tightening supply, rising costs, strong demand and declining vacancy rates).iREIT's realistic total return target for the next 12 months is 25%, and given the success of the management team, we consider 30% annual returns achievable. I plan to fly to San Francisco in a few weeks to attend REIT World, and I will be visiting a few data centers while in town.FAST GraphsHannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (HASI)HASI has also been a target of shorts, and last July we provided iREIT on Alpha members with a detailed response to the Muddy Waters thesis.As you may recall, this thesis was targeted to HASI’s cash flow projections, as Muddy Waters claimed various accounting methods and decisions are unethical and or misleading (but not illegal).Yahoo FinanceAs you can see (above), HASI hit an all-time high of $69.89 per share on January 4, 2021. This was one of my best calls over the last 12 years on Seeking Alpha, as I bought shares on March 31, 2020 at $20.41 and sold at around $55 per share in late 2021.When shares began to drop in 2021, due to rising rates, I began to nibble again, and when Muddy Waters began shorting shares, my ears perked up. As you can see below, HASI shares climbed over 22% last week, and our iREIT members were happy.Yahoo FinanceA few days ago, I interviewed HASI CFO Jeff Lipson (full interview at iREIT on Alpha). Here’s what we learned:“The Inflation Reduction Act is the most comprehensive energy policy we've had related to renewables in this country…So we're very excited about it in terms of the increased volumes that will probably start a couple years from now as a result of the Act.”We believe that prospects of the company have never been better. We're poised to take advantage of this public policy development, and yet financial markets aren't reflecting that. So we're hoping that reverses itself sometime soon.We view residential solar leases as being a very non-cyclical consumer category, however, and so this is essentially the energy to the home. It also represents a savings, particularly now as natural gas prices have risen.…we've positioned ourselves that we can continue to grow without accessing the public debt markets. So that's exactly what you want is to have enough diversity in the liquidity profile, so you're not forced to do anything at the wrong time.… we have many alternatives and we're very conservative with how we manage liquidity and capital.Our guidance right now is that our distributable EPS will grow annually by 10% to 13% through 2024, and our dividend will grow annually 5% to 8% through 2024.”FAST GraphsWe consider HASI attractive given its extremely stable and predictable earnings growth. Much like a utility stock, HASI generate stable dividends (yield is now 5.5%) with annual growth of 10% to 13%.Do the math?5.5% + 10.0% = 15.5%However, iREIT believes that HASI is capable of doing more... a lot more…As viewed below, we believe HASI could fetch something like $40 per share by the end of 2023, which translates into annual returns of 40%+. The surge last week, in our view, is just the beginning…FAST GraphsA Big Bet Against The Big REIT ShortIn case you missed it, there’s a common theme with all of these REIT picks, and that is that all three have solid fundamentals.While the shorts have focused on things like lack of transparency, dishonest management, faulty accounting, overblown hyperscaler domination, and the like, iREIT has concentrated on fundamentals, combined with management interaction.It’s true that short sellers will oftentimes raise the bar when it comes to corporate transparency and insist that companies disclose certain facts that are relevant.In my view, this is healthy for investors, as due diligence is perhaps one of the most important pillars to becoming an intelligent investor.For these three REITs, we have been forced to double down on our research, to make sure that the data is accurate and that the management teams can be trusted.That’s why I took an entire day to travel to Birmingham, Alabama to meet the CEO of MPW. That’s also why I took time out of my day to connect with the CFO of HASI. And I will be meeting DLR management soon at REIT World.A few days ago, I heard Jim Cramer literally crying on CNBC when asked about his Meta Platforms (META) bet. He said (emphasis added):\"Let me say this: I made a mistake here. I was wrong.I trusted this management team. That was ill-advised. The hubris here is extraordinary, and I apologize.\"\"OK,\" replied his cohost, awkwardly.While I can certainly sympathize with my friend, Jim Cramer, I’ll end this article with just three words from President Ronald Reagan:“Trust but Verify.”Good luck and happy REIT Investing!Yahoo

has been affected by the implosion of popular cryptocurrency trading firm FTX.</p><p>FTX was one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges before it sought bankruptcy protection last week.</p><p>Its CEO and founder, Sam-Bankman Fried, has also resigned.</p><p>Temasek has released a statement confirming that it will write down its entire US$275 million investment in FTX, regardless of the outcome of the latter’s bankruptcy filing.</p><p>The US$275 million investment was made in two separate tranches between October 2021 to January 2022 for a 2.5% stake in the cryptocurrency outfit.</p><p>It also clarified that it did not invest directly in cryptocurrencies.</p><p>The due diligence process for FTX was extensive and lasted approximately eight months, during which Temasek reviewed the cryptocurrency exchange’s audited financial statements and spoke to numerous people familiar with FTX and its operations.</p><p>Its US$275 million investment made up 0.09% of its total portfolio value of US$403 billion as of 31 March 2022.</p><p>Temasek’s rationale for investing in FTX is based on its belief that cryptocurrency exchanges form a key part of the global financial system.</p><p>Hence, its thesis involved gaining exposure to the crypto markets indirectly through a fee-based model with no trading or balance sheet risk (as no direct investment in any cryptocurrency was made).</p><p>Early-stage investments in such nascent companies make up just 6% of its entire portfolio.</p><p>Thus far, such investments have, on average, generated a mid-teens rate

as chip makers have downgraded their revenue forecasts in light of slowing demand.</p><p>The COVID-fuelled boom had initially led to a chronic undersupply situation as many chip makers ramped up production aggressively to tackle the shortage.</p><p>The pendulum has now swung to the other extreme.</p><p>Chip makers such as Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) are scaling back on their capital spending plans for 2023 while clearing excess inventory.</p><p>Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has also reported waning demand for personal computers as it conducts layoffs to reduce staff costs.</p><p>Amid the gloom, one of the world’s best investors, Warren Buffett, has taken an opposing view.</p><p>The Oracle of Omaha, as he is sometimes called, has scooped up US$5 billion worth of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM), or TSMC for his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B).</p><p>Berkshire disclosed that it acquired around 60 million American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of TSMC for the quarter ended 30 September 2022.</p><p>TSMC is the world’s leading chip maker and counts technology giants such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) as its clients.</p><p>It also manufactures semiconductors for clients such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).</p><p>The nonagenarian investor has a history of shying away from the technology sector in his earlier years but has altered his stance recently by allocating an increasing proportion of Berkshire’s investments to the technology sector.</p><p>Whether Buffett’s bet on TSMC will work out or not remains to seen,

to the latest edition of top stock market highlights.Temasek HoldingsInvestment firm Temasek Holdings has been affected by the implosion of popular cryptocurrency trading firm FTX.FTX was one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges before it sought bankruptcy protection last week.Its CEO and founder, Sam-Bankman Fried, has also resigned.Temasek has released a statement confirming that it will write down its entire US$275 million investment in FTX, regardless of the outcome of the latter’s bankruptcy filing.The US$275 million investment was made in two separate tranches between October 2021 to January 2022 for a 2.5% stake in the cryptocurrency outfit.It also clarified that it did not invest directly in cryptocurrencies.The due diligence process for FTX was extensive and lasted approximately eight months, during which Temasek reviewed the cryptocurrency exchange’s audited financial statements and spoke to numerous people familiar with FTX and its operations.Its US$275 million investment made up 0.09% of its total portfolio value of US$403 billion as of 31 March 2022.Temasek’s rationale for investing in FTX is based on its belief that cryptocurrency exchanges form a key part of the global financial system.Hence, its thesis involved gaining exposure to the crypto markets indirectly through a fee-based model with no trading or balance sheet risk (as no direct investment in any cryptocurrency was made).Early-stage investments in such nascent companies make up just 6% of its entire portfolio.Thus far, such investments have, on average, generated a mid-teens rate of returns even though such investments are inherently riskier.Warren Buffett and TSMCIt’s been a tepid period for the semiconductor industry as chip makers have downgraded their revenue forecasts in light of slowing demand.The COVID-fuelled boom had initially led to a chronic undersupply situation as many chip makers ramped up production aggressively to tackle the shortage.The pendulum has now swung to the other extreme.Chip makers such as Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) are scaling back on their capital spending plans for 2023 while clearing excess inventory.Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has also reported waning demand for personal computers as it conducts layoffs to reduce staff costs.Amid the gloom, one of the world’s best investors, Warren Buffett, has taken an opposing view.The Oracle of Omaha, as he is sometimes called, has scooped up US$5 billion worth of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM), or TSMC for his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B).Berkshire disclosed that it acquired around 60 million American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of TSMC for the quarter ended 30 September 2022.TSMC is the world’s leading chip maker and counts technology giants such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) as its clients.It also manufactures semiconductors for clients such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).The nonagenarian investor has a history of shying away from the technology sector in his earlier years but has altered his stance recently by allocating an increasing proportion of Berkshire’s investments to the technology sector.Whether Buffett’s bet on TSMC will work out or not remains to seen, but investors should remember that his investments are typically long-term and that he is giving a vote of confidence to semiconductors.Singapore bank mortgage ratesAs the US Federal Reserve raises its benchmark rates further, the local banks have also hiked their mortgage rates northward.It’s the second time in as many months that home loan interest rates have increased.All three banks last adjusted their home loan rates in October.Back then, DBS Group (SGX: D05) had fired the first salvo by raising its four fixed-rate loan packages to 3.5%.Not to be outdone, United Overseas Bank Ltd (SGX: U11), or UOB, raised its two and three-year fixed rate home loan packages to 3.75% and 3.85%, respectively.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39) followed suit by adjusting its two-year fixed rate package to 3.5%, too.This round, the banks have bumped up their fixed rate loans to as high as 4.5%.DBS’ four fixed-rate loan packages are all set at 4.25% while OCBC’s one and two-year fixed rate mortgage loans are priced at 4.3%.UOB now has the highest rates of the trio, with its two-year package fixed at 4.5%.With the latest increase, homeowners that need to refinance are left in a quandary.They can choose a floating-rate loan such as the one DBS Group is offering. It is priced at 1% above the three-month compounded Singapore Overnight Rate Average (SORA) which is currently at 2.663%.The borrowing rate will be lower, at 3.663, than its fixed rate loans of 4.5%, but there is a two-year lock-in period.The problem is that any further increases in SORA will then bump up the floating up without the borrower being able to refinance.And it looks increasingly like the US central bank is committing to further hikes to stub out high inflation.Yet, if the same homeowner chooses a fixed rate package, he or she stands to pay substantially more than in interest payments compared to a year ago.It’s not an easy choice, but perhaps these homeowners can park some of their spare cash in shares of DBS Group to somewhat offset the higher interest.The lender’s shares are offering a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 4% right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":13,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9989886763,"gmtCreate":1665969185352,"gmtModify":1676537684539,"author":{"id":"4125532638806262","authorId":"4125532638806262","name":"ECLC","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/09fb0c58bc7fe8c4936dcdd44711a4e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a
