He wrote that a combination of a survey of resellers and channel checks made him more confident that Microsoft can propel revenue across all three primary business segments, with strength in personal computer demand from both consumers and businesses, robust upgrade activity on server software, and continued strength in Azure as a result of “continued strong enterprise consumption growth.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374354670,"gmtCreate":1619423393390,"gmtModify":1631888875796,"author":{"id":"3577873629420463","authorId":"3577873629420463","name":"Geraldkoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb8363738c1f48d8e66f714526ca4268","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577873629420463","authorIdStr":"3577873629420463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/1B0.SI\">$MM2 ASIA LTD.(1B0.SI)$</a>Let’s go&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/1B0.SI\">$MM2 ASIA LTD.(1B0.SI)$</a>Let’s go&nbsp;","text":"$MM2 ASIA LTD.(1B0.SI)$Let’s go","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a72fde3688346a61cf1642fe3bb2c36","width":"828","height":"1434"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/374354670","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":294,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374961223,"gmtCreate":1619410023762,"gmtModify":1634273694948,"author":{"id":"3577873629420463","authorId":"3577873629420463","name":"Geraldkoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb8363738c1f48d8e66f714526ca4268","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577873629420463","authorIdStr":"3577873629420463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls help to like n reply 🙏🏻","listText":"Pls help to like n reply 🙏🏻","text":"Pls help to like n reply 🙏🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/374961223","repostId":"1117221855","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":217,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375640897,"gmtCreate":1619337391819,"gmtModify":1634274129424,"author":{"id":"3577873629420463","authorId":"3577873629420463","name":"Geraldkoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb8363738c1f48d8e66f714526ca4268","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577873629420463","authorIdStr":"3577873629420463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like n response pls&nbsp;","listText":"Like n response pls&nbsp;","text":"Like n response pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/375640897","repostId":"1184404050","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184404050","pubTimestamp":1619319329,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1184404050?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-25 10:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What to watch in the markets this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184404050","media":"CNBC","summary":"The last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House.Big Tech is a highlight of the earnings calendar, with Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Alphabet all releasing results.The Fed is not expected to take any action, but economists expect it to defend its policy to let inflation run hot.There is some key data including first-quarter gross domestic product a","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/taxes-and-inflation-will-be-key-themes-for-markets-in-the-week-ahead.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP

Results?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199011167","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nApple will report results on April 28.\nThe quarter is expected to be very strong.\nHowever, ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Apple will report results on April 28.</li>\n <li>The quarter is expected to be very strong.</li>\n <li>However, a lack of forward guidance may sink the equity.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Apple (AAPL) will provide fiscal second quarter results on April 28, and boy expectations are high. Analysts' consensus estimates forecast revenue to have climbed by 32.2% vs. last year to $77.1 billion, with earnings expected to have jumped by 54.3% to $0.98 per share.</p>\n<p>Much of that growth is expected to come from the iPhone, with sales seen rising by 42.3% to $41.2 billion. A 17% jump follows that in services to $15.6 billion, and 24.1% rise in wearables and other products to $7.8 billion. To make it more interesting, those iPhone estimates have been creeping up, rising from around $39.6 billion at the end of January.</p>\n<p>The big question, and certainly what has weighed the most on the stock in recent quarters, is Apple's willingness to provide guidance. Since the pandemic began, Apple has not provided guidance. It's the main reason why the stock sank despite better than expectedfirst quarter results. The fiscal third quarter revenue is seen rising by 15.4% to $68.8 billion, while earnings rise by 27.1% to $0.82 per share.</p>\n<p><b>Premium Valuation</b></p>\n<p>A lack of guidance is sure to weigh heavily on the stock, and investors will likely punish the shares if that should happen. The stock is not cheap currently, and investors are clearly giving a lot of credit and confidence in management's ability to steer through the coronavirus pandemic. Because of that and the company's balance sheet, investors have given this stock a premium valuation, trading for 28.5 times 2022 earnings estimates of $4.70 per share.

Analysts' consensus estimates forecast revenue to have climbed by 32.2% vs. last year to $77.1 billion, with earnings expected to have jumped by 54.3% to $0.98 per share.\nMuch of that growth is expected to come from the iPhone, with sales seen rising by 42.3% to $41.2 billion. A 17% jump follows that in services to $15.6 billion, and 24.1% rise in wearables and other products to $7.8 billion. To make it more interesting, those iPhone estimates have been creeping up, rising from around $39.6 billion at the end of January.\nThe big question, and certainly what has weighed the most on the stock in recent quarters, is Apple's willingness to provide guidance. Since the pandemic began, Apple has not provided guidance. It's the main reason why the stock sank despite better than expectedfirst quarter results. The fiscal third quarter revenue is seen rising by 15.4% to $68.8 billion, while earnings rise by 27.1% to $0.82 per share.\nPremium Valuation\nA lack of guidance is sure to weigh heavily on the stock, and investors will likely punish the shares if that should happen. The stock is not cheap currently, and investors are clearly giving a lot of credit and confidence in management's ability to steer through the coronavirus pandemic. Because of that and the company's balance sheet, investors have given this stock a premium valuation, trading for 28.5 times 2022 earnings estimates of $4.70 per share. That's nearly 50% higher than its historical PE of 17.1 over the past five years.\nThe stock also is trading with a premium one-year forward price-to-sales ratio of 6.4, double its 10-year average of 3.2. That average would be even lower, if not for the run-up since the winter of 2018. Before that time, the peak price-to-sales ratio had been 4.\nWhen investors and the market give a company this much of a premium, the market expects to get what it wants, and no matter how glorious results are for the second quarter, the absences of third guidance, to the detail level the market wants, could result in the stock selling off, again, like it did last quarter.\nApple, to its credit, has delivered better than expected earnings and revenue 12 quarters in a row. It would come as a big shock to the market if Apple missed estimates.\n\n(Apple Earnings Beats - Seeking Alpha)\nOptions Trades\nOptions traders are betting the company disappoints, and the stock sinks between now and expiration on June 18.

Over that time, both options have seen their open interest levels rise by roughly 65,000 contracts each. The data shows most of the calls have been sold, and most of the puts have been bought.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992.

that Mapbox is in detailed negotiations to go public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) - the latest in a torrent of technology businesses to list on New York exchanges through such a route in recent months.\nA US banking source said on Friday that the discussions between MapBox and SVF Investment Corp. 3 were at an advanced stage, but cautioned that a definitive transaction could still fall apart.\nInvestment banks including Cantor Fitzgerald, Citi, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan and UBS are all understood to be involved in the deal.\nAlthough Mapbox would be far from unusual in choosing a SPAC to launch its tenure as a publicly traded company, the transaction would be unusual in that SoftBank is already a shareholder in the company through its vast Vision Fund.\nMapbox, which was founded in 2010, announced in 2017 that SoftBank had led a $164m Series C funding round without disclosing its valuation.\nIt was unclear on Friday how much new capital the merger would involve through a component of the deal known as a PIPE - private investment in public equity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":388,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":377165765,"gmtCreate":1619507109057,"gmtModify":1631888875789,"author":{"id":"3577873629420463","authorId":"3577873629420463","name":"Geraldkoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb8363738c1f48d8e66f714526ca4268","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577873629420463","idStr":"3577873629420463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Over the years, he has often discussed why he rarely buys real estate, but more recently, he has made large investments in the REIT sector (VNQ).</p>\n<p>Below we highlight five reasons why Warren Buffett favors REITs over private property investments:</p>\n<p><b>Reason #1: No Competitive Advantage</b></p>\n<p>In a shareholdermeetingdecades ago, Warren Buffett explains that they are not equipped to compete with investors who specialize in real estate investing.</p>\n<p>The interesting thing here is that back then Warren Buffett already had invested millions into real estate, had significant resources through Berkshire, and Charlie had made his initial fortune in real estate.</p>\n<p>Even then, they felt that they couldn't compete with REITs and other LPs that specialized in real estate investing and had an informational edge over them.</p>\n<p>Here you should ask yourself: If Warren and Charlie cannot compete in the real estate space, can you?</p>\n<p>A lot of individual investors think that after watching a few YouTube videos and buying a real estate investing course from an online guru, they're well prepared to become real estate investors.</p>\n<p>In reality, most investors are overconfident and overestimate their abilities. Warren Buffett is very realistic about his limitations and understands that unless you are 100% focused on real estate, you're unlikely to achieve good results investing in it.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #2: Lack of Mispricing</b></p>\n<p>Somewhat related to reason #1, if you are not fully dedicated to real estate, you are unlikely to find mispriced opportunities.</p>\n<p>Warren Buffettexplainsthat mispricings in real estate are rare. The market is relatively efficient at pricing risk because most investors are long-term oriented.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, mispricings are more frequent in the stock market because most investors are short-term-oriented and quick to panic when they see their stock decline in value.</p>\n<p>Warren believes that if you are an active investor, you're more likely to find better deals in the stock market, including REITs, than in private real estate.</p>\n<p>That's what he said years ago and it is well reflected in today's market.</p>\n<p>Right now, housing is red hot, and commercial real estate is selling at historically low cap rates. The prices reflect the ultra-low interest rate environment that we live in.</p>\n<p>Even then, the REIT market is today severely mispriced. Many REITs, including blue-chip names like W.P. Carey (WPC), Realty Income (O), and National Retail (NNN) are down by 20-30% even as their underlying properties are more valuable than ever before.</p>\n<p>That's a better opportunity.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #3: Corporate Tax Disadvantage</b></p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway is structured as a corporation and it's liable to corporate taxes.</p>\n<p>Charlie and Warrenexplainthat this puts them at a major disadvantage relative to REITs, which are exempt from corporate taxes.</p>\n<p>If you earn a 6% yield on a property, the REIT is left with 6%, but Berkshire is left with a lower profit due to taxes.</p>\n<p>Even then, Berkshire has made REIT investments, which are more tax efficient because REITs only pay out 50%-70% of their cash flow in dividends, and the rest is retained at the REIT level and not taxed. Moreover, REITs have a greater growth/appreciation component than private real estate, which results in lower corporate taxes.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #4: Management And Scalability</b></p>\n<p>In aninterviewduring the great financial crisis, Warren Buffett explains that if he had a way to efficiently manage real estate, he would load up on single-family homes.</p>\n<p>A lot of investors make the mistake of assuming that real estate is a passive investment when in reality it can be management intensive.</p>\n<p>You are dealing with the dreaded 3 Ts: Tenants, toilets, and trash.</p>\n<p>Could Warren Buffett hire a property management company? Sure, he could. In fact, he would get a much better deal than you or me if he did that.</p>\n<p>However, the issue with property management companies is that their fees eat into your profitability, but even more importantly, their interests are not aligned with yours. Buying a property and handing the keys to a property manager is the equivalent of buying an externally-managed REIT, which we all know, is rarely a good idea due to conflicts of interest.</p>\n<p>With traditional REITs, Warren Buffett gets professional management that's well aligned with shareholders and enjoys significant economies of scale.</p>\n<p>You also can easily deploy capital in a few clicks of a mouse, which makes it easy to scale your investments over time.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #5: Opportunities are in REITs Today</b></p>\n<p>Warren Buffett is a value investor.</p>\n<p>He wants to buy high-quality assets at a discount to fair value.</p>\n<p>But as noted earlier, the private real estate market is currently red hot. With the exception of a few challenged sectors (office, malls, etc.), you're unlikely to find discounted opportunities. The demand for private real estate is greater than ever before due to the ultra-low interest rates.</p>\n<p>Even then, many REITs are today priced at historically low valuations, and not surprisingly, that's what Warren is buying. Below we highlight one of his favorite REITs:</p>\n<p><b>STORE Capital</b></p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway first bought shares of STORE Capital (STOR) back in 2017, and recently, they doubled down.</p>\n<p>As a result, they now own nearly 10% of the equity:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/540517de9466fb29b29af1fbae4a952b\" tg-width=\"406\" tg-height=\"109\">According to an interview of Chris Volk, CEO of STORE Capital, it's Warren Buffett that was behind this investment. You can skip to the 8:55 mark to learn more about Warren Buffett's investment in STORE:</p>\n<p><b>What's so special about STORE Capital?</b></p>\n<p>In short, STOR has a unique strategy that generates higher returns with lower risk than what Berkshire could achieve on its own. We discuss this strategy in detail in a separatearticleso we won't go into the details here, but its strategy has consistently led to significant outperformance relative to its close peers, and this is likely to continue far into the future:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d8cf2f7a40f468d1c6f30736c3cc8d0d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"476\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1bcf40219cff744c6478722fbe2a6830\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"366\">Even then, STOR has been priced at an exceptionally low valuation over the past year. It's still ~15% lower than prior to the pandemic, and that's despite hiking its dividend by 3% in 2020 and guiding for record-high cash flow in 2022.</p>\n<p>You simply cannot find this type of opportunity in the private real estate market and that's why Warren Buffett favors REIT investments.</p>\n<p>Today, there are ~25 similar REIT opportunities in which we are investing at High Yield Landlord.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Over the years, he has often discussed why he rarely buys real estate, but more recently, he has made large investments in the REIT sector (VNQ).\nBelow we highlight five reasons why Warren Buffett favors REITs over private property investments:\nReason #1: No Competitive Advantage\nIn a shareholdermeetingdecades ago, Warren Buffett explains that they are not equipped to compete with investors who specialize in real estate investing.\nThe interesting thing here is that back then Warren Buffett already had invested millions into real estate, had significant resources through Berkshire, and Charlie had made his initial fortune in real estate.\nEven then, they felt that they couldn't compete with REITs and other LPs that specialized in real estate investing and had an informational edge over them.\nHere you should ask yourself: If Warren and Charlie cannot compete in the real estate space, can you?\nA lot of individual investors think that after watching a few YouTube videos and buying a real estate investing course from an online guru, they're well prepared to become real estate investors.\nIn reality, most investors are overconfident and overestimate their abilities. Warren Buffett is very realistic about his limitations and understands that unless you are 100% focused on real estate, you're unlikely to achieve good results investing in it.\nReason #2: Lack of Mispricing\nSomewhat related to reason #1, if you are not fully dedicated to real estate, you are unlikely to find mispriced opportunities.\nWarren Buffettexplainsthat mispricings in real estate are rare. The market is relatively efficient at pricing risk because most investors are long-term oriented.\nOn the other hand, mispricings are more frequent in the stock market because most investors are short-term-oriented and quick to panic when they see their stock decline in value.\nWarren believes that if you are an active investor, you're more likely to find better deals in the stock market, including REITs, than in private real estate.\nThat's what he said years ago and it is well reflected in today's market.\nRight now, housing is red hot, and commercial real estate is selling at historically low cap rates. The prices reflect the ultra-low interest rate environment that we live in.\nEven then, the REIT market is today severely mispriced. Many REITs, including blue-chip names like W.P. Carey (WPC), Realty Income (O), and National Retail (NNN) are down by 20-30% even as their underlying properties are more valuable than ever before.\nThat's a better opportunity.\nReason #3: Corporate Tax Disadvantage\nBerkshire Hathaway is structured as a corporation and it's liable to corporate taxes.\nCharlie and Warrenexplainthat this puts them at a major disadvantage relative to REITs, which are exempt from corporate taxes.\nIf you earn a 6% yield on a property, the REIT is left with 6%, but Berkshire is left with a lower profit due to taxes.\nEven then, Berkshire has made REIT investments, which are more tax efficient because REITs only pay out 50%-70% of their cash flow in dividends, and the rest is retained at the REIT level and not taxed. Moreover, REITs have a greater growth/appreciation component than private real estate, which results in lower corporate taxes.\nReason #4: Management And Scalability\nIn aninterviewduring the great financial crisis, Warren Buffett explains that if he had a way to efficiently manage real estate, he would load up on single-family homes.\nA lot of investors make the mistake of assuming that real estate is a passive investment when in reality it can be management intensive.\nYou are dealing with the dreaded 3 Ts: Tenants, toilets, and trash.\nCould Warren Buffett hire a property management company? Sure, he could. In fact, he would get a much better deal than you or me if he did that.\nHowever, the issue with property management companies is that their fees eat into your profitability, but even more importantly, their interests are not aligned with yours. Buying a property and handing the keys to a property manager is the equivalent of buying an externally-managed REIT, which we all know, is rarely a good idea due to conflicts of interest.\nWith traditional REITs, Warren Buffett gets professional management that's well aligned with shareholders and enjoys significant economies of scale.\nYou also can easily deploy capital in a few clicks of a mouse, which makes it easy to scale your investments over time.\nReason #5: Opportunities are in REITs Today\nWarren Buffett is a value investor.\nHe wants to buy high-quality assets at a discount to fair value.\nBut as noted earlier, the private real estate market is currently red hot. With the exception of a few challenged sectors (office, malls, etc.), you're unlikely to find discounted opportunities. The demand for private real estate is greater than ever before due to the ultra-low interest rates.\nEven then, many REITs are today priced at historically low valuations, and not surprisingly, that's what Warren is buying. Below we highlight one of his favorite REITs:\nSTORE Capital\nBerkshire Hathaway first bought shares of STORE Capital (STOR) back in 2017, and recently, they doubled down.\nAs a result, they now own nearly 10% of the equity:\nAccording to an interview of Chris Volk, CEO of STORE Capital, it's Warren Buffett that was behind this investment. You can skip to the 8:55 mark to learn more about Warren Buffett's investment in STORE:\nWhat's so special about STORE Capital?\nIn short, STOR has a unique strategy that generates higher returns with lower risk than what Berkshire could achieve on its own. We discuss this strategy in detail in a separatearticleso we won't go into the details here, but its strategy has consistently led to significant outperformance relative to its close peers, and this is likely to continue far into the future:\nEven then, STOR has been priced at an exceptionally low valuation over the past year. It's still ~15% lower than prior to the pandemic, and that's despite hiking its dividend by 3% in 2020 and guiding for record-high cash flow in 2022.\nYou simply cannot find this type of opportunity in the private real estate market and that's why Warren Buffett favors REIT investments.\nToday, there are ~25 similar REIT opportunities in which we are investing at High Yield Landlord.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":470,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
