$Realty Income(O)$$NNN REIT INC(NNN)$$Simon Property(SPG)$ Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have experienced a significant decline in recent weeks. On average, they've dropped by about 13%, with individual REITs like Realty Income falling by over 20%. The primary reason behind this sell-off is the growing uncertainty about future inflation. As a result, the Federal Reserve (FED) has decided to pause its rate cuts for the time being. Until now, the investment thesis for REITs was largely based on expectations of rate cuts. The assumption was that REITs had dropped due to rate hikes, and thus, they should rebound once rates were reduced. However, with fewer rate

The first article in my series on investing in 2025 I am a veteran, and I have made 8% cumulative gains since opening an account in early 2021. I'm also new to global brokerage, having just started a few years ago. Like I didn't know about the 3700, 3400, CSI 300 and the CSI 300, I had little idea about the Nasdaq, Dow and Australian indexes, and I hadn't studied the Hang Seng specifics. For beginners to invest, start with the macro. China is deflationary and the United States is divided after inflation; China and the United States focus on resolving the economic structure of their own issues. Looking at the economic cycle, we may still be in the old cycle, as shown in Figure 1. Looking at the political cycle, there are many elections in 2024. As we can see in Figure 2, important economies
Trump's MEME Coin and Its Impact on Financial Markets
I've long known that Trump doesn't play by the rules. But the fact that he launched a MEME coin over the weekend still makes me think that if he really gets a second term, he might bring huge risks to the financial markets. And this risk isn't just in the cryptocurrency market. You know, the audience in the cryptocurrency market is relatively small. This risk is likely to spread to the US stock market and even affect the global market.This weekend, people in WeChat Moments and groups were talking about how people got rich overnight with Trump coin. Actually, this kind of thing isn't new. People have made a lot of money from those so-called "shitcoins" and MEME coins before. And Elon Musk is also someone who likes to promote coins. But Trump is about to become the president again. Plus his

The controversy created negative headlines, which likely unsettled shareholders.But the fact is he didn’t have any intention about it but just to show the loves to the crowd, Elon’s just showing that his heart goes out to everyone that helped make history today. ❤️❤️So here’s the idea of what
Bitcoin's response to news frequently depends on the timing and mood of the market. A rally could be triggered by positive developments, particularly in optimistic situations. On the other hand, "sell the fact" situations arise in developed markets when traders buy the rumor in advance and profit after the announcement. Results are greatly influenced by trader psychology and market conditions.
