What is the best thing in the world? Perhaps it is a stock with upside potential of, say, 300% in two years, while at the same time paying you in excess of 20% just for holding it. Not to mention very low risk in comparison to how much one stands to gain.

I just read in the Wall Street Journal that several big-name small cap mutual funds are now accepting new money for the first time in years. The reason: ridiculously low valuation on many small cap companies. The REITs that I mention below are exactly the type of companies that these mutual fund managers are looking at, and it is also why these institutional investors are looking for more cash.
