This week’s AAII Weekly Features highlight these valuable AAII articles:
- Protecting Against Price Drops: Puts Versus Stop Orders: Put options limit the amount of potential downside, while stop orders (though costless) do not ensure a minimum price.
- Selecting Active Equity Mutual Funds: Don’t Get Caught in the Middle: Mutual funds with market-beating performance tend to be highly active, hold relatively fewer stocks and be of smaller size.
- Model Fund Portfolio: REITs Show Their Long-Term Value: During the portfolio’s past 12 years, long-term equity REITs have provided excellent diversification without sacrificing return.
- Misunderstanding Variable Universal Life Can Lead to Adverse Consequences: Bad market conditions can cause the cash value of these policies to be much lower than forecast. Find out how to best use these policies.
The featured AAII stock screen this week is the Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow approach.
