"Is Santa Coming Early This Year??"

Announcing the Launch of REIT TV!!

Our goal with REIT TV is to bring you all the educational content provided by sources such as Nareit, CNBC, Bloomberg and others so you can create your own customized viewing channel of REIT videos.

Currently, we have over 775 videos in the hopper from the last year or so which represents just under 125 hours of video footage.

New content will be added daily and we are going to be launching a "LIVE" component as we grow the platform.

Please alert us to bugs or if you have suggestions and ideas on how to improve this.

We have a lot of kinks to work out and tags to add to the videos but wanted to start sharing this new channel that benefits the entire REIT industry.

Check out the channel at https://reittv.com/

Today’s Newsletter (December 5th, 2025)

Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on today’s merger announcement between Netflix and Warner Brothers along with a big economic calendar and next week’s Federal Reserve interest rate policy decision as markets continue upward climb which all hopefully setup for a year-end rally.

Coming to Dallas for NAREIT next week? Send me a message and let’s meet up!

From Bloomberg

  • "The S&P 500 is set to continue an advance toward an all-time high as expected interest-rate cuts and confidence in the economy fuel traders’ appetite for risk. Treasuries are on track for their worst week since June.

  • Futures on the US benchmark rose on Friday after the index closed within 0.5% of a fresh record. The gauge is set for its first back-to-back weekly gain since October, signaling that traders are shaking off recent jitters over valuations and the lack of visibility on the economy during the government shutdown.

  • Nasdaq 100 contracts climbed 0.4%. Sentiment toward technology stocks got a boost after Nvidia Corp. partner Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. reported strong sales. Moore Threads Technology Co., a leading Chinese AI chipmaker, jumped 425% in its Shanghai trading debut. Netflix Inc., meanwhile, fell in the premarket after agreeing a tie-up with Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.

  • With a rate cut next week largely priced in and bets pointing to further easing into 2026, investors are gearing up for a year-end rally in what is typically a supportive month for stocks. Growing confidence that the US economy remains resilient, despite softer employment, is also prompting rotations into stocks that tend to benefit from domestic strength."
