012 - Buying Opportunities Despite Market Fear (And They're Not Overpriced Tech Giants)

With so much fear surrounding the markets and economic climate, it's no surprise that people are hesitant to invest right now. More fear means less money in the markets.  Inflation and interest rates are higher also reduce discretionary funds. For those who are investing, they're flocking to the "safe bets" like Facebook, Tesla, Google, Microsoft, and Apple. Following suit, is a risky move. These big growth companies are propping up the market and will still decline in the recession that's coming.  So what should you do?  Invest in Bullet Shares like BSJP and BSJQ until other investments drop into a favorable price range. That way you’re earning ~6.8% yield while you wait. Sectors to monitor and stocks to put on your Watchlist: Mortgage backed REITs - AGNC, NLYEnergy stocks - ET, AMZABonds and bond funds - YYY, DSUBanking stocks - MAIN, OMFUtilities - AQN, UGIShipping and delivery services like Amazon, UPS, FedEx b/c holiday season - no good options yetHome builder stocks - MDC, KBHPhone network stocks - VZ, T (or cell tower infrastructure CCI)Closed ended funds at a deep discount - JRS, JQC, CRF, CLMRetirement and medical facilities for elders - MPW, OHI (maybe AFCG a pot REIT)BDCs that lend money to startup tech companies - HRZN, HGTCDrop your comments or questions for this episode on one of our posts.   FacebookYouTubeBlogIf you're looking for a more detailed summary of this episode, click here.We're trying to grow.
