"Stoked Optimism"

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 725 videos in the hopper from the last year or so which represents just under 110 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.

Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on a potential trade deal between the US and China along with a big slate of corporate earnings coming due this week plus a Federal Reserve interest rate policy decision that points to signs of interest rates being cut again.

From Bloomberg

  • "Equities rallied as signs that the US and China were closing in on a trade deal stoked optimism at the start of a bumper week in which the Federal Reserve and earnings from tech giants will also shape markets.

  • S&P 500 futures climbed 0.8%, putting the benchmark on course to extend its record run after US and Chinese officials said they’d reached a series of agreements ahead of a meeting between President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Gold slipped and Treasuries fell across the curve as demand for havens waned.

  • Nvidia Corp. jumped 2.4% in premarket trading, leading gains among Magnificent Seven megacaps. Nasdaq 100 contracts rose 1.2%. Copper — a bellwether for global growth — neared an all-time high. The dollar weakened against all major peers except the Swiss franc.

  • Easing trade tensions between the world’s largest economies are giving investors fresh confidence to extend equities’ rally from April lows, when markets slumped as Trump moved to rewrite global trade rules. That advance faces key tests this week, with the Fed expected to cut interest rates and earnings from AI-heavyweights set to offer clues on profit durability."
