Greetings from a motorhome trip through Spain and France, they have a lot of great cheeses here and I'm glad that "your" cheeses allow me to spend my hard earned money on local delicacies :-)) I've had bad experiences with various analysts since before I found TRF ... and looking at the green numbers of TRNO, SBAC, REXR, etc., which I bought at a time when others, unlike CWMF, were damning them, I have clear evidence that I am following the right leader ...
The dog, a Border terrier, is of course with us :-)) This year we have been to Sweden twice, once to Italy and now a round trip to Germany, France, Spain and home to the Czech Republic... a total of approx. 6500 Km... Actually here https://maps.app.goo.gl/b5MRzJEmN4riEzgs6 ,
I really wish you to have the opportunity to come and see old Europe... I will be happy to help you arrange a trip... preferably with a motorhome :-))
Your snarky comments gave me a good laugh. I have no idea whether or not your cuddly (which is just fine), but I love your say it as you see it, direct approach. PS: Really old Cheddar cheese is the best.
I’ve followed you since your first posts before the Covid Melt down. Upper level. Y, occasionally snarky- like Aaron Rodgers- MVPs, a Superbowl, but without conspiracies. Keep it up Colorado.
Correct. This was only covering our mortgage REIT record.
We also have a category for preferred shares (includes baby bonds), one for equity REITs, and one for "other". That is mostly just cash, but I have a small position in Schwab $SCHW.
If this is popular, I may write one for the other segments if I have time.
I can tell you my performance on the tower REITs will be much weaker since they got crushed over the last 2 years. We've approached the sector with a less active approach, so we were holding shares through the decline. I've added to the positions several times as well, but narrowing the performance down to only 2 or 3 stocks in a sector that got hammered will make performance look much worse.
Thank you for acknowledging. I would appreciate an article on such. I want to convey - on balance - your successful record speaks for itself. But if you don't mind constructive criticism meant in a positive spirit...a bit too much written with hubris when you don't acknowledge the occasional losses for the other investment recommendations. You have acknowledged in the past, just clearly dwarfed by the countless success stories.
If I write a version on the equity REITs, I'll definitely include it.
Even with great tools for tracking performance, it takes a while to put the article together. Adding in equity REITs and preferred shares to the same article would've made it start to drag. It would just be too long.
I did include the big loss on ANH. I didn't even downplay it by showing the returns we earned on the subsequent investments, mentioning the pandemic, or linking the performance for the ETF over those same days. Any of those would've made it look better, but I don't see any need to do that. Sometimes we lose money.
Find an analyst with 99 wins and 0 losses and you've probably got an analyst who only buys 1 or 2 stocks. Looks brilliant when it's up and awful when it's down. Still the same analyst.
You have a point there Daniel, but the title of THIS article is "Exposing Our Mortgage REIT Record". Perhaps CWMF will provide another article exposing his trades on REITs and Preferred Shares too.

That sounds absolutely wonderful. I would love to take my wife and dogs on a trip like that. We both love to travel.
You've got some great REITs. Those 3 should all do great over the next decade. Great property types and great management in place.

Thank you.
PS. Mild cheddar > sharp for me any day.
Been a paid member for 6 years. Would not be a member if i was not making money.
awesome stuff as usual. Greatly appreciate the perspective and I continue to admire the fund performance.

Thanks, great article and summary!
Thank you! Appreciate the support.
Colorado Wealth Management does a great job, and I would highly recommend their service.
Thank you! I think you've got a typo in there.
Thank you for catching the typo! It has been corrected.
Well done! Love the transparency
Old Cheddar will grow on you when you get old like me, and your taste buds aren't as sharp. It's delicious with good crackers and tapenade.
A wonderful read. Investors need to be careful with the data they use.
What about the eREIT's ?
I may write that article. I've been surprised by the volume of reactions this piece has already earned.
Thanks for the information. But this does not include all of your recommendations? I am thinking specifically about CCI and AMT.
