There’s No Reason to Get Complacent Now

It’s been interesting these past few months seeing the difference between JPMorgan (JPM) and Goldman Sachs’ (GS) market assessments. The former has been ultimately bullish every time I read about it, whereas the latter is much more wary.

Bloomberg writes how:

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is issuing words of caution for dip buyers plunging back into stocks: The December volatility breakout has room to run – and risk gauges aren’t yet flashing buy signals.
The hawkish tilt from the Federal Reserve just as the omicron variant spreads will continue to create all manner of trading challenges in the near-term, according to Christian Mueller-Glissmann, managing director of portfolio strategy and asset allocation at the firm.
After a selling wave that brought down everything from big tech to Bitcoin, the Goldman Sachs Risk Appetite indicator is below zero, but it could still fall father, according to the firm.

That seems like a funny thing to say considering the last two days of Mr. Market trampling the bears. But let’s face it, there are so many factors going on right now – including the market bubble – that I have to agree.

There’s no reason to get complacent now.

Then again, is there ever?

Elsewhere in the economy, I’m not even going to try to understand the ins and outs of the just-reached House’s deal to raise the debt limit. It seems even more complicated and convoluted than usual.

Suffice it to say that it passed though. So there’s that.

The World According to REITs

Also, it appears Apple (AAPL) made an under-the-radar deal with China in 2016. That news broke just as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted that “in some cases,” bringing manufacturing back to the United States “may be part of the answer.”

Reuters reports that, five years ago, the tech giant was facing a whole “host of regulatory action” against it. So CEO Tim Cook:

… signed the agreement with a Chinese government agency, making concessions to Beijing and winning key legal exemptions, the report added.
Some of Apple’s investment in China would go toward building new retail stores, research and development centers, and renewable energy projects, the report said…

No doubt, it profited off of that agreement handsomely in the past five years. But today, many companies that manufacture locally are the ones coming out ahead.

It’s amazing how things can switch so quickly and drastically, which brings me right back to my previously made point:

“There’s no reason to get complacent now.”

Keep that in mind as you consider your investment updates today, including how:

Safehold (SAFE) closed on its 100th ground lease, making its aggregate portfolio worth about $4.5 billion. It added that it’s “on track for a record-breaking fourth-quarter with 11 ground leases closed in the first two months, totaling approximately $500 million.”
Lamar Advertising (LAMR) acquired Colossal Media, the leading operator of hand-painted walls and murals. It currently operates 81 large-format, hand-painted wall displays in nine U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
Mack-Cali Realty (CLI) rebranded itself to Veris Residential to showcase its move to become a pure-play multifamily REIT. Its ticker will switch on December 10 to VRE.

Let’s see what new updates today will bring…
