  • REITs Likely To Return Less Than They Have In The Past But Still A Good Buy [View article]
    The REITs you mention are all mortgage REITs, and use high leverage. Mortgage REITs are a small segment of the broader REIT market.

    I haven't looked into the sector much recently, but I am planning to do more research on it.

    At the same time, though, beware of the leverage. SRV has a leverage ratio of 43%.

  • Will Steve Jobs' Resignation Dim Apple's Prospects? [View article]
    I doubt there is going to be a rebalancing, because the S&P 500 is market cap weighted, so a rebalancing would mean S&P is changing the index methodology. Not much chance of that happening, in my opinion.

  • Gold Miners Appear Ready To Outperform Gold [View article]
    It's not quite as aggressive as (NUGT) because NUGT provides 2x exposure, but, true, it is one of the more aggressive ETFs. Two other ETFs that are similarly aggressive and would also fit are (GGGG) and (SIL), although SIL is more oriented towards silver.

    You're right that buybacks aren't quite "returning cash to shareholders". Point taken.

    Generally, if the company is undervalued, than share buybacks are a positive, while for an overvalued company they are negative.

  • 4 Buffett-Owned Stocks With High Net Payout Yield [View article]
    Yep, that's the buyback yield. The net payout yield is the buyback yield plus the dividend yield.

  • Five GARP Stocks to Consider [View article]
    Hi, Hewitt,

    Thanks for your comment... You are right about eFCF vs. OCF and I will probably switch to using eFCF in the future.

  • Sector ETF Valuations and Momentum: Energy and Industrials Look Attractive [View article]
    I prefer the Vanguard ETFs over the SPDR ETFs for two reason.

    1) The Vanguard ETF's have more holdings than the SPDR ETFs.
    2) Vanguard has a telecom ETF while State Street does not.
