This past week\u2019s cover story, \u201cReal Estate Stocks Are on Sale. Where to Find the Best Deals.\u201d (June 30), provided a comprehensive overview of the entire out-of-favor commercial real estate sector. The mind boggles at the choices. An easier route might be through the largest real estate exchange-traded fund, Vanguard Real Estate Index (ticker: VNQ). The one drawback here is that the top 10 stocks make up 50% of the portfolio. An alternative is the equal-weighted Hoya Capital High Dividend Yield (RIET). These ETFs provide exposure to the entire sector while avoiding a stumble inherent in individual stock selection.<\/p>\n

I have several REITs in my portfolio and will hold them for income, which is primarily why I purchased them in the past. But when I can get 5%-plus in an insured certificate of deposit, there is no way I am putting another dime in REITs for the foreseeable future. I also find it interesting that most of the people cited in the article who say now is the time to buy REITs are owners\/managers of REITs.<\/p>\n

Our Deficit Time Bomb<\/h2>\n

To the Editor: <\/strong>
Regarding Randall W. Forsyth\u2019s \u201cWith Interest Rates Near Zero, Fiscal Deficits Could Be Dismissed. That\u2019s No Longer the Case\u201d (The Economy, June 30), I never believed the concepts from Barron\u2019s<\/em> 2019 interview with James Montier, \u201cWhy a GMO Strategist Is Bearish on U.S. Stocks but Positive on Modern Monetary Theory.\u201d As time has proved, Forsyth is 100% correct that debts do matter. MMT is a destructive idea. <\/p>\n

To the Editor:<\/strong>
Kudos to Randall W. Forsyth for focusing on what will inevitably be a growing problem: the size of our federal debt and the cost of servicing it. Nominal interest rates at close to zero with real rates in negative territory is an aberration not likely to be repeated unless we enter a period of deflation. We are nowhere near such a period, as inflation is growing at almost 2.5 times the Fed\u2019s target rate. <\/p>\n

As the graph from the CBO shows, net interest on our debt will require 32% of all government receipts by 2050 compared with less than 14% currently. This will inevitably become an unbearable burden for our children and grandchildren. It\u2019s the most extreme case of \u201ckicking the can down the road\u201d I have ever seen.<\/p>\n

It takes about 3.5 trillion dollar bills placed one on top of the other to reach the moon. Our debt is 10 times that much\u201431 trillion. It looks like Bidenomics, Trumpinomics, and Obamanomics are going to get me to heaven sooner than I thought. Thanks, guys. <\/p>\n

Weight Loss Made Easy<\/h2>\n

I almost choked on my oatmeal reading the comments from Eli Lilly CEO Dave Ricks in the column \u201cEli Lilly Is Riding the Weight-Loss Wave. Why Its Dominance Could Last for Years\u201d (Streetwise, June 30). <\/p>\n

Rather than dealing with the root causes of these problems, pharmaceutical companies are developing faux solutions to make billions of dollars when the answer is healthy eating habits and exercise to fight obesity. We don\u2019t need more drugs with untold side effects adding to healthcare costs to feign an artificial workaround to a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Recession Reality Check<\/h2>\n

To the Editor:<\/strong>
Amid the storm from the \u201cnattering nabobs of negativity,\u201d Andy Serwer stands out for recognizing the color of the current swan. It is white. In \u201cThere Won\u2019t Be a Recession This Year. You Can Take That to the Bank\u201d (Up & Down Wall Street, June 23), he lays out with simple clarity why there isn\u2019t going to be a recession this year.<\/p>\n

As a student of economics, I learned that some things are certain: There will always be periods of economic progress and there will always be periods of recession. It is also certain that even the most learned people won\u2019t be able to predict the timing of each cycle of the economy with great precision.<\/p>\n

Give Bulls Their Due<\/h2>\n

To the Editor:<\/strong>
Nicholas Jasinski\u2019s latest Trader column (\u201cStock Market Rallies Because Good News Is Good News. But It\u2019s Still a Time to Be Cautious,\u201d June 30) cites a worn-out statistic that the S&P trades at 19 times expected earnings, up from 15 times in October 2022. <\/p>\n

However, as Tom Lee at Fundstrat has pointed out recently, if you remove FAANG from the calculation and examine the average price\/earnings ratio, it\u2019s a reasonable 16.4, up from 15.7 at the start of the year. <\/p>\n

With inflation poised to fall fairly dramatically and earnings starting to bottom and point higher, perhaps bears like Mike Wilson and David Rosenberg will finally recognize that things aren\u2019t as gloomy as they keep forecasting. <\/p>\n

Please consider doing an article with bulls such as Ed Yardeni, Tom Lee, and Ryan Detrick. That would certainly be refreshing.<\/p>\n

Rockwell Is a Solid Pick<\/h2>\n

To the Editor:<\/strong>
You are correct to steer investors toward Rockwell Automation stock (\u201cBuy This \u2018Tech\u2019 Stock. Automation Is the Future,\u201d Stock Pick, June 28). Rockwell has beaten earnings estimates for 16 quarters. Great management team. This is the kind of stock to purchase on any kind of pullback and hold for years.<\/p>\n
