Got $2,000? 2 Simple Stocks to Buy Right Now
Famed mutual fund manager Peter Lynch gets the credit for popularizing "Buy what you know" as a mantra for successful stock picking.
The idea is that you buy and sell (at a profit and after a nice holding period) companies that you understand rather than trying to time the market or stay ahead of fast-changing trends and fads.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) lend themselves to that strategy. They own and operate income-producing properties and are required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders.
