Vice President Kamala Harris is facing criticism over a new Medicare policy that’s stirring up controversy. Critics accuse her of backtracking on promises to safeguard the Medicare trust fund, sparking a fiery debate about whether the administration’s recent moves are helping or hurting the nation’s seniors.

Harris recently reassured the public that Medicare is a priority, telling AARP, “I will always fight to protect and strengthen Medicare for this and future generations.” She emphasized that big corporations and wealthy individuals must step up and pay their fair share, which she believes will help sustain critical programs like Medicare.

Don’t Miss:

But critics aren’t buying it. According to the latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis, a program introduced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to keep premiums low could cost taxpayers over $21 billion in the next three years.

This demonstration project, as it’s called, was designed to stabilize Medicare Part D premiums, which are set to rise sharply. Some, however, view it as a ploy to shield the administration from political fallout.

The plan stems from the Inflation Reduction Act, a bill to reduce drug costs for Medicare recipients. While the intent sounds good on paper, it comes with a significant catch: insurance companies will likely hike premiums substantially soon.

Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do — to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.

With the average bids for Part D plans expected to triple by 2025, many argue that the administration’s subsidy plan is just a short-term patch on a long-term problem.

Stephen Moore, co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, didn’t mince words. “More highway robbery from the Dems on the Medicare trust fund,” he said, echoing concerns that the government is siphoning off money meant to protect seniors’ health care to fund other initiatives.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, a key Republican voice, was equally critical. He suggested that instead of facing the consequences of their policies, Democrats are using taxpayer dollars to mask the impact.

See Also: Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they’re on pace — here’s a breakdown on how on what’s behind this formula.

“This nonpartisan CBO analysis confirms CMS’s cost-shifting plan is a dishonest election year gimmick to cover up those consequences,” Grassley said in a statement, calling the move an attempt to “artificially” lower premiums in time for the election.

Story continues

The backlash on social media was swift. According to the advocacy group Commitment to Seniors, Harris has violated her pledge to secure Medicare.

They argue that this short-term fix could have long-term consequences for the trust fund, putting future generations at risk. “Seniors beware,” they wrote, warning of potential threats to the program the Vice President claimed she was protecting.

On the other side of the debate, administration defenders argue that the program provides necessary relief in an inflationary climate where drug prices and premiums are skyrocketing.

They emphasize that the Medicare trust fund still has safeguards in place and that the additional costs are a small price to pay for ensuring seniors don’t face crippling medical bills.

Bank of America released a bullish note on gold Thursday, just as the precious metal reached new record highs at $2,696 per ounce (oz).

Gold remains “the ultimate perceived safe haven asset” in today’s macroeconomic environment, according to Bank of America’s commodity analyst Michael Widmer, amid rising concerns over U.S. fiscal policies and their potential impact on Treasury yields.

Gold Trends Higher As Fed Shifts Policy

Despite nominal U.S. Treasury yields trending upward, gold prices, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust GLD, have been climbing in recent weeks, supported by various factors.

Widmer explained that a key driver behind this surge is the rising inflation expectations paired with the Federal Reserve’s policy shifts.

Rate cuts triggered a surge in inflation expectations, which in turn kept downward pressure on real yields, increasing gold’s appeal as an inflation hedge.

“Accompanying the first Fed’s 50bp rate cut, inflation expectations have risen, meaning that 10-year real yields, usually the most significant gold price driver, kept declining through September,” Widmer said.

Gold Hits All-Time Highs On Oct. 17

U.S. Fiscal Policy Boosts Bullish Gold Outlook

A key factor bolstering Bank of America’s bullish stance on gold is the U.S.’s fiscal trajectory.

Rising interest rates have significantly increased the federal government’s debt servicing costs, triggering concerns about fiscal sustainability. According to government projections, the national debt is projected to reach a new record high as a share of the U.S. economy within the next three years.

Widmer highlighted that “whoever wins the 2024 presidential election will face an unprecedented fiscal situation upon taking office. Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump seems to prioritize fiscal consolidation.”

The CRFB report details that Vice President Harris’s proposed policies could increase the national debt by $3.5 trillion through 2035, while former President Trump’s platform might raise it by as much as $7.5 trillion. “

The large and growing national debt threatens to “to slow economic growth, boost interest rates and payments, weaken national security, constrain policy choices, and raise the risk of an eventual fiscal crisis.” 

Global Trends Also Favor Gold

According to Widmer, fiscal expansion policies are gaining traction across advanced economies, contributing to gold’s global appeal. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that new fiscal spending related to climate adaptation, demographic shifts, and rising defense costs could amount to 7-8% of global GDP annually by 2030.

This massive spending will likely force governments to issue more debt, and as volatility in the bond markets rises, gold will emerge as a refuge for investors, Widmer explained.

Central banks are also anticipated to increase their gold holdings as part of currency reserve diversification. The share of global central bank reserves held in gold has climbed to 10%, up from just 3% a decade ago.

Outlook for Gold: $3,000/oz By 2025

Bank of America sees gold reaching the $3,000/oz mark by the first half of 2025. The combination of macroeconomic uncertainty, rising debt levels, and central bank buying makes gold the “last safe haven asset standing.”

Realty Income Corporation O, known as “The Monthly Dividend Company,” is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) with a unique approach to commercial real estate. Unlike many of its peers, Realty Income focuses exclusively on free-standing properties, securing them under long-term net lease agreements. 

This strategy provides investors with a dependable stream of passive income generated by a diversified portfolio of high-quality tenants. This business model, combined with a commitment to consistent dividend payouts and strategic acquisitions, has fueled Realty Income’s impressive growth and positioned it as a favorite among investors seeking reliable income and long-term growth potential.

The Triple-Net Lease Advantage

Realty Income’s triple-net lease model is a cornerstone of its business strategy, further reinforcing the company’s commitment to efficient operations and predictable cash flows. This model, where tenants shoulder the responsibility for property taxes, maintenance, and utilities, minimizes Realty Income’s operational expenses, making it easier to forecast earnings and plan for future dividend payments. 

This structure also offers tenants significant flexibility, allowing them to focus on their core business operations while securing long-term occupancy of their facilities. For example, Realty Income’s portfolio includes properties leased to a diverse range of tenants, from national retailers like Walgreens WBA and Dollar General DG to regional and local businesses. This strategy has enabled Realty Income to generate a steady stream of passive income, which has fueled its consistent dividend payments and impressive long-term growth.

The Monthly Dividend Advantage

Realty Income is known as “The Monthly Dividend Company,”  representing its commitment to paying consistent dividends every month.

This approach has differentiated the company in the REIT market, appealing to investors who prefer a regular, steady income stream.

Since its initial public offering (IPO) in 1994, Realty Income has consistently increased its dividend payment 127 times, a testament to its commitment to shareholder value.

Realty Income’s dividend history has solidified its reputation as a reliable income source, drawing investors seeking dependable and growing dividend income.

Realty Income’s Growth and Financial Performance

Realty Income’s earnings report for the second quarter of 2024 underscores its ability to deliver consistent growth. Realty Income reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.29, slightly missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.36. However, it’s crucial to look at the bigger picture. While the EPS did not meet Realty Income’s analyst community’s expectations, the company’s revenue reached $1.34 billion, representing a robust 31.4% increase year-over-year. This solid revenue growth reflects Realty Income’s ability to acquire high-quality properties and maintain consistent occupancy rates.

This recent performance also saw Realty Income declare a monthly dividend increase, raising the payment to $0.2635 per share from $0.2630 per share. This increase, representing an annualized dividend amount of $3.162 per share, further highlights the company’s commitment to rewarding its shareholders with growing dividend income.

Realty Income’s Diversification Strategy

Realty Income’s diversification strategy is a key factor in its long-term growth. The company has expanded its portfolio to include properties in the US, UK, and Spain, spreading its geographic reach and mitigating risk. This proactive risk management offers several advantages for investors, reducing portfolio volatility and increasing returns. By diversifying across multiple markets, Realty Income is better positioned to withstand potential economic downturns and maintain steady growth regardless of local market conditions.

Realty Income’s Secret Sauce

Realty Income’s success is driven by a combination of factors that give the company a significant competitive advantage. The company’s focus on triple-net leases minimizes its operational expenses, providing a more predictable cash flow for investors. Realty Income’s diversification strategy, extending its reach across industries and geographies, further enhances its ability to weather economic fluctuations.

Furthermore, Realty Income’s strong balance sheet and deep industry experience allow it to attract high-quality tenants. These tenants are willing to commit to long-term lease agreements, providing the company with a steady stream of rental income that supports its consistent dividend payments.

Strategies for Different Investors

Investing in Realty Income requires careful consideration of personal investment goals and risk tolerance. While the company is attractive to a wide range of investors, two primary strategies stand out for different investor profiles:

Income-Focused Investors

Realty Income is an attractive option for those seeking a dependable stream of dividend income. The company’s commitment to shareholder value and history of consistent dividend payments, including a track record of 652 consecutive monthly dividend payments, make it a strong contender for investors seeking a reliable source of income. This consistent payout, combined with its triple-net lease model, which minimizes operating expenses for Realty Income, creates a stable and predictable cash flow stream that supports these dividends.

Growth-Oriented Investors

While Realty Income’s primary focus is on dividends, the company has also demonstrated consistent growth in its portfolio and share price. Growth-oriented investors can consider Realty Income as a core holding within a diversified portfolio. The company’s strategic acquisitions, expansion into new markets, and strong tenant relationships provide a solid foundation for continued growth, offering investors the potential for income and capital appreciation. Realty Income’s global diversification strategy, with a presence in the US, UK, and Spain, further mitigates risk and creates opportunities for growth in various markets.

Realty Income has carved a unique niche in the REIT sector by focusing on triple-net leases and offering investors dependable monthly dividend payments. The company’s consistent growth, diversification strategy, and competitive advantages have solidified its reputation as a reliable income source. Investors seeking a dependable dividend stream and potential for long-term growth may find Realty Income an attractive investment opportunity.
