By Dev Chakrabarti and James T. Tierney, Jr. Earnings haven’t been consistently rewarded in equity markets recently. That could change faster than you think. When seven giant stocks dominate returns, it’s hard for active managers to outperform the market. But we think the pendulum will eventually swing back and more companies with real earnings power will begin to attract the attention they deserve. Market returns were extreme by many measures in 2023. The Magnificent Seven stocks, a group of giant companies seen to be big winners from artificial intelligence (AI), accounted for 58% of the S&P 500’s returns…

The US president says Israeli operations in the Gazan city must include a plan to protect civilians.
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky appeared on the Larry Kudlow show this weekend and slammed leaders in Congress for pushing billions in spending to defend the borders of other countries overseas while leaving America’s southern border wide open. Millions of Americans across the country agree with Rand Paul about this. Why is it so difficult for Republican leaders to understand? This is not a big leap. It’s just common sense. Transcript via Real Clear Politics: SEN. RAND PAUL: I would say it’s criminal neglect for Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and Joe Biden to get together to send $100 billion…
The Super Bowl LVIII will pit the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, will compete in their fourth Super Bowl in five years as defending champions. Brock Purdy and the 49ers, on the other hand, were eliminated from the NFC Championship Game last season but advanced to the Super Bowl this year. This is a rematch of Super Bowl Super Bowl LV, which took place three years ago in Miami. The Chiefs won that game 31-20, and the 49ers will be motivated to avenge that loss this time around. Why does…

While each Super Bowl is unique, some things never change. And in this case, it means that the Kansas City Chiefs are again Super Bowl champions and quarterback Patrick Mahomes is again going to Disneyland. Putting the iconic “I’m going to Disney” commercial together in the minutes after the game ends doesn’t look like the easiest job in television. There are edits to make, contracts to sign and the final game outcome typically isn’t known until the very end — especially in the event of overtime, like Sunday night. But that hustle and subsequent quick-turn creation of the “We’re going…
Washington, DC – “Confirmed receipt.” That is the only message Yasmeen Elagha received from the United States government after two of her cousins — both Palestinian Americans — were detained by Israeli forces as they sheltered near Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Now, she is calling on the administration of US President Joe Biden to do more to assure their safety and secure their release. Elagha said her two cousins, 18-year-old Borak Alagha and 20-year-old Hashem Alagha, are being held without charge. “We’ve pleaded with the US government,” Elagha, a law student at Northwestern University in Chicago, explained. “The administration…
Opinion Source YouTube: LiveNOW from FOX, Variety The former President Donald Trump took to social media on Sunday to claim that the radically liberal singer Taylor Swift can’t endorse Joe Biden because he is “the worst and most corrupt president.” This came hours before Swift attended the Super Bowl to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce as his team the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers. Trump Sounds Off On Swift Though Swift proudly endorsed Biden back in 2020, Trump does not believe that she will be able to do so this time around. “I signed and…
As the name suggests, REITer’s Digest is dedicated primarily to the real estate industry.

Admittedly, my opinions are biased given my professional connection to the industry. Having spent most of my time working with commercial properties, I believe they are a worthy asset and investment.
