#CRE, #REIT, #retwit friends...serious question for you...
Is there an OZ idea out there or some kind of "reasonable" option to develop small-box grocery retail, corner store or "Dollar General" type stores in food deserts?
According to a recent story in Dallas:
▪️Over 36% of Dallas residents live in food deserts—areas with limited access to affordable, nutritious food. These areas are concentrated primarily in the Southern, Western, and Eastern sectors of the city
This clearly isn't just a Dallas story but a nationwide story. There has to be something that CRE developers, REITs and others players can come to the table to solve this food gap. Right?
I was chatting about this with @EmmittSmith22 at @realEstateTrent and @BobKnakal's gala in 2025 and the idea just continues to grow steam in my head.

Do you guys include Avantis, DFA and other “active” quant/factor managers in the “blue horseshoe”analysis? We have a similar report we run daily that breaks down total stock change W/ and w/out flows included. I’ve found it most beneficial in finding smaller stocks maybe getting too much buying pressure from passive flows into popular themes.
Love the report name btw!

In a fund that constantly resets to a 15 year maturity, then yes. But if you bought and held til maturity then no. Negative real yields for a while but never has anyone loss principal investing in US treasuries and holding to maturity.
To your point though… turns out duration risk is particularly scary when reference rates are near zero. They’re not that today though.

Alternative - Absolute Return (managed futures driving most of this growth)

$SPCX levered ETFs have seen over $1B in cumulative flows since inception but have lost nearly 60% of that as the price has continued to crater. Conversely, inverse ETFs have only seen $50M in flows but now have $250M in AUM.
Crazy stuff!

Talked with @DBarbuscia at Bloomberg about Oracle's balancing act.
The bond market has rendered its opinion: Oracle's 10-year paper trades at 6.4%. The BBB curve sits at 5.7%. So the bonds pricing are already reflecting downgrade risk.
My take: Oracle has to decide who they disappoint, the bond investors or the equity investors. Issue more bonds at the risk of breaking their promise that "that was it" in February? Or issue equity into a crowded market that would almost assuredly result in lower share prices.
They can't keep both happy while burning $20 billion a year.

"Grit, Grind and Get It Done"
I think of my friend Aaron Halfacre, and this expression he says and how important it is today.
Though I wear a lot of hats in the REIT industry and manage 2 funds with Hoya Capital, I have always represented REITs (for anyone who would listen) about how important it is to hold them in an investment portfolio.
What started out as 4-5 sectors back in the day now has over 20 subsectors that make up our industry.
It is nice to FINALLY see our moment with investor sentiment improving and the phones ringing a little more from advisors, investors, media outlets and others about the WHYs of REIT investing. Even Trey is smiling!
Sure i'm biased but many of the companies, fundamentals and results speak for themselves. If you don't believe me, ask others and see what they tell you.
If you ever want to chat about REITs or have questions, I and many of my colleagues in the industry are always ready to answer your questions as we grind away covering 200(ish) companies that make up our little slice of the commercial real estate universe.

#Cryptocurrency problem in a nutshell:
New money always comes in at the top. Arguably w/out the flows price can't go up b/c it's not like they have earnings beats but that's beside the point...
How many times can investors be expected to come back to the well?

Note that p/s is NTM so 32% sales growth is priced in. Either analysts are grossly underestimating sales growth or the recent doubling in chip stocks is unsustainable.

A decade-long look at the fundamental spread between Tech and the rest of the market.
Total Return: $XLK 809.66% | $SPY 310.42% | $SPXT (ex-Tech) 194.25%
Price-to-Sales (TTM): XLK 10.11 | SPY 3.09 | SPXT 2.17
Sales Growth (TTM): XLK 15.07% | SPY 11.86% | SPXT 8.33%
Net Margin: XLK 22.04% | SPY 19.39% | SPXT 16.70%
The bottom two metrics better deliver to justify the top two's parabolic move over the past couple of months...

In case you thought all developed ex-U.S. and emerging markets beta ETFs were the same... here's a little chart I like to call the South Korea factor!

The Houston Astros, with the worst ERA in baseball, threw a combined no-hitter last night. Closing pitcher was making his MLB debut. First time that’s happened since 1892.
Reminds me of how markets work.
A 4-sigma daily move in the S&P should happen roughly once per 63 years.
We’ve had 24. A 7-sigma day should happen once every 1.5 billion years. We’ve had three.
Rare events aren’t rare in aggregate. They’re rare individually. The category is crowded.
Don’t let the vividness of any single one rewrite your process.

Our ETF movers tool is pretty sweet. Allows you track all ETFs (over 5k) live. Today ETF advancers are outpacing decliners 4.2 to 1. You can also isolate specific ETF segments to remove the nosie as in the 3rd screenshot that's just showing thematic ETFs.

Nassim Taleb on Wittgenstein's ruler: when the ruler and the table disagree, is the ruler measuring the table, or is the table measuring the ruler?
The 30y just hit a 19-year high at 5.18% before easing to 5.02% today. Pundits call this dangerous.
But the fed funds long-run median since 1954 is 4.29%. Today: 3.64%. The 30y long-run median since 1977 is 5.43%. Today: 5.02%. We're sitting essentially at the historical typical.
The 2009-2021 era when fed funds had a median of 0.15% and the 30y had a median of 2.98% was not the baseline. It was the anomaly.
The ruler we've been using is broken.#FixedIncome #BondMarket #FedPolicy @nntaleb
