5 Reasons Not To Flee Non-U.S. Dividend Stocks [View article]
Very easy to regret an investment when it goes down as soon as you buy it. Ive added to several REITs I own with the recent big correction. ARCP is incredibly cheap. Also added to some of my other long term dividend holdings.

There's a difference. Appreciation already happened. It's like saying would you buy $1 for $0.80? I would. Silverbay's assets have already increased in value significantly - so again, why does it matter if they paid above market rates 1-2 years ago when prices have jumped ACROSS the board in Phoenix 30-50%? Who cares if they paid asking prices, they made already have huge unrealized gains on their assets today. No speculation necessary. The gains are there.

Who cares about over paying if appreciation is huge? You could have bought any house on the Las Vegas MLS 2 years ago at asking price and you would be up 45% today. 1 Year ago you'd still be up over 20% and thats if you didn't negotiate and paid asking. Phoenix (where Silverbay has a large concentration) did even better than Vegas.
We're on the same page on income. These SFH REITs won't generate any meaningful cash flow (if any at all).
No position, but thinking of buying if it dips further.

I think you're off base here. Income will be lousy but total return may be quite good. Single Family homes have appreciated quite a bit in the last 2 years. Silver Bay's homes have probably appreciated over 30% which isn't reflected in book value. Income will be a lot less than some expect, close to break even maybe, but appreciation will add to total return.

Since 2012's budget deficit was 7.2% of GDP and GDP growth was 2.2% didn't we actually shrink 5.5%? If we had a balanced budget, gdp would have been -5.5%, no?

They have tens of thousands of customers. I know many people who have ordered from them and have had no issues. You're free to keep holding onto the delusion that there aren't any physical gold or silver available.
Oh and if you don't like APMEX you can get plenty of physical today in 100/1000 oz bars from:
You can also just buy a silver futures contract for 5,000 OZ and take physical delivery. Most people don't, but you can if you wanted to quite easily.
Keep your eyes closed and keep telling yourself that there isn't any physical supply. Not sure who you think you're fooling, besides yourself of course. I'm actually bullish on gold, but I'm always scared when I'm on the same side of a trade as so many loony conspiracy nuts.

Every time gold goes up it's inflation. Every time it goes down it's manipulation. Pretty solid logic there. Can't really argue with someone who claims governments and central banks are conducting secret gold manipulation trades.

Maybe when you buy retail 1 oz at a time you pay large premiums, but go ahead and buy 100oz of gold or 5,000 oz of silver physical. You won't pay much premium. Even 1 oz of silver can be bought for a dollar or two premium. I like gold/silver, but I don't get the people screaming about shortage of physical. Anyone can buy physical.

Pretty much every article on otcbb penny stocks cheapens the brand/value of Seeking Alpha. The marketcap requirement is irrelevant as these penny stock scams have reached over $1 billion in market cap on numerous occasions (huge # of outstanding shares, but low float makes it possible. NSRS anyone?).

Believe me, an REIT is much much much better than owning a rental property (Currently own several SFHs that are rented). Returns are equal to an REIT but you have more headaches/problems. Expenses are high - especially if you use property management. I'm much happier with my REITs than rental properties, though I can't really complain as prices have appreciated quite a bit in the SFH market.

Another way to get exposure would be to buy Chinese equities with high cash balances/fair valuations. Very interested in the RMB denominated account in the U.S, but the Bank of China but the RMB interest rates are low compared to RMB accounts in China - no? The official site shows no data, but googling shows 1 year RMB account @ 2.50 interest. Don't 1 year CDs yield 4%+ in China?

The rental yields are irrelevant as is - property management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, etc will eat up all the profits. Realistic yields are about half the gross yields. I think the real potential here is the appreciation.
