Announcing the Launch of REIT TV!!

We are excited to announce the launch of "REIT TV" as we beta test the platform.

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 675 videos in the hopper from the last year or so which represents just under 100 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/

Futures in the red at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on China trade war and tariff concerns along with bank earnings season including regional banks reporting results. 10-year remains below 4% at the time of this writing.

From Bloomberg

  • "Stocks trimmed losses after President Donald Trump moved to calm fears of a trade war with China, lifting sentiment following steep declines in the shares of lenders.

  • S&P 500 futures fell as much as 1.5% before paring the loss to 0.4%. Friday’s crop of earnings helped bolster regional banks, with Truist Financial Corp., Regions Financial Corp. and Fifth Third Bancorp all rising in early trading after they reported lower provisions for credit losses than expected. 

  • In Europe, Deutsche Bank AG and Barclays Plc stayed more than 5% lower, with a gauge of lenders leading regional declines.

  • After a week when fears about escalating trade tensions between Washington and Beijing fueled sharp swings in stocks, Trump told reporters that current tariffs on China were “not sustainable” and confirmed he would meet with Xi Jinping in South Korea in the coming weeks.

  • The volatility has seen Wall Street’s fear gauge, the Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, rise to its highest level since April. Meanwhile, havens such as Treasuries and gold erased gains following Trump’s remark and lender results."
