REITs Are Suffering, Time To Switch Emotions Off And Act Rationally
Going into 2024, the consensus was that REITs would surge higher. While the base rates have dropped, the REIT investment case has failed. Yet, as long as the objective is to extract durable income, I would argue that now is the right time to make huge moves in the REIT segment.

Alexandria Real Estate: Excellent Countertrend Play On Multi-Year Big Tech Bust
Alexandria RE is significantly undervalued compared to other U.S. equities, presenting a buy opportunity for contrarian investors. Historical performance during the Dotcom technology bust period suggests ARE could see robust gains years into the future, from countertrend capital flows toward value and income ideas.

Ahead of the Federal Reserve's critical interest rate decision next week, U.S. equity markets snapped a three-week winning streak as benchmark interest rates jumped to the cusp of five-month highs. Lukewarm CPI and PPI inflation reports were "good enough" to solidify another Fed rate cut next week, but "sticky" trends called into question the outlook for continued easing in 2025. After setting a series of fresh record-highs in the prior week, the S&P 500 slipped 0.6% this week, but still remains on pace for its best year since 2019.
