While NVIDIA wobbles and the Magnificent 7 cool off, there's a backdoor AI play most investors are missing.

It's not software. It's not chips. 

It's the physical infrastructure. The land, buildings, and power that make AI possible.

As a former Presidential Advisor, I believe Trump's Executive Orders are about to ignite a boom in this sector. And a small handful of companies are positioned to dominate.

I name my top pick - completely free - in this time-sensitive video.

Trump’s Next Real Estate Deal Could Pay YOU.

The truth is, his real estate deals have returned as much as 4,800%.

That’s enough to turn every $1,000 into $49,000.

But his next “real estate deal” is different - and much bigger. 

It involves federal assets worth an estimated $5.1 trillion. And any American citizen can stake their claim.

The mainstream media is largely ignoring this.

One thing I love is learning and connecting with others in the REITs world.

And one of those people is Chris Volk, a pioneer in the net lease REIT industry, long-time CEO, and author of The Value Equation.

Chris has been involved in over $20 billion of new lease transactions and has even helped build three public net lease REITs.

(Aka, he is considered to be an expert!)

On the latest episode of The Wide Moat Show, I sat down with Chris to discuss the $20 billion new lease REIT playbook.

A few things we talked about include:
→ Chris’s early career
→ The evolution of the net lease REIT sector
→ Inside Berkshire Hathaway’s investment in STORE Capital
→ Why net lease outperforms plus corporate credit and real estate
→ Sector risks, including car washes, convenience stores, and diversification

Las Vegas.

The land of shows, lights, sights, sounds, and the Bellagio’s famous fountains.

No, the streets of this town aren’t empty, but they’re not as packed as they once were.

Me? 

If I could bet on only one American city for long-term growth, it would probably be Las Vegas.

That’s because Vegas has transformed from a gambling town with some seedier elements to a city that specializes in luxury, high-end retail, and world-class experiences.

There’s one REIT that I have talked about before, which was spun off from Caesars Entertainment in February 2018: VICI Properties.

This REIT might have been born out of a casino chain’s bankruptcy proceeding, but it hit the ground running and hasn’t looked back.

VICI Properties has:
54 gaming properties
8 additional financing partners 
39 experiential assets leased to 13 tenants

This company has 10 trophy assets located on the Strip, and the Caesars property in the city accounts for 35% of its rent, as does MGM Resorts.

While I’m not much of a gambler, I think VICI is a good bet considering how shares could return 25% over the next 12 months. 

The primary catalyst for this projected growth is an improved cost of capital, which is supported by likely interest rate cuts over the next 12 months.

Happy SWAN investing!

The world is addicted to technology.

Whether you like it or not, that is just a fact.

In which case, we’re also addicted to China.

You see, the technology we love to use, from consumer electronics to wind turbines to military technology, depends on certain materials. 

They make the modern world go ’round. And China has a practical monopoly on them.

That’s not just me saying it.

The U.S. Geological Survey reports that, “In 2023, China accounted for approximately 70% of global mine production of rare earth elements and about 85-90% of the world’s processing capacity.”

If you haven’t heard of these, they are a group of 17 metallic elements that are essential to modern technology but are often misunderstood because of their name.

In fact, they aren’t rare at all.

As an investor, I’m always looking at what is trending, what people are using the most, and how I can invest in this.

So, what do you need to know about rare earth elements as an investor?

There are no SWAN (sleep well at night) rare-earth investments… yet.

I’m hopeful that I will be able to recommend companies in the rare-earth industry someday. 

But I focus on safe, stable, dividend-paying investment opportunities, and as of right now, there aren’t any that fit into those categories.

When they do, I will let you know.

The mainstream media just missed the biggest financial story of the year…

President Trump signed an EO to start unlocking an estimated $5.1 trillion in federal assets for the benefit of every American citizen.

Most Americans have no idea this opportunity exists…

However, this could trigger a historic “gold rush” for the American people.

The biggest AI real estate opportunity in a decade?

In my opinion, I believe that a new real-estate-driven AI infrastructure wave could become one of the best investment opportunities.

And here’s the thing: one of the biggest misconceptions in the market today is that investors are diversified when they buy the S&P 500.

In the latest episode of The Wide Moat Show, Nick Ward and I dug into this misconception.

A few things we touched on include:
→ Why the S&P 500 isn’t the diversification tool you think it is
→ Why healthcare REITs quietly become some of 2025’s top performers
→ A deep dive into Alexandria (ARE), its dividend cut, and what comes next
→ The dramatic divergence inside the real estate sector and why valuation still matters

Land Rush 2026: The Biggest AI Real Estate Opportunity in a Decade?

Over the weekend, I took two very different journeys.
One with my daughter, who was home after her first semester of college.
And one into my family’s past.

Both reminded me how quickly time moves and how much opportunity favors those who are paying attention.

My grandparents built a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio in the 1950s and 60s. They bought motels in
Myrtle Beach long before the area exploded in popularity and sold them for the equivalent of millions today.

Was it hard work? Yes.

Was it research, preparation, and risk-taking? Absolutely.

But timing mattered too. They were in the right place at the right moment… and they acted.

Even though I didn’t inherit any of that wealth, I did inherit the mindset. It’s what helped me build, lose, and rebuild my own commercial real estate portfolio - twice.

And today, I’m seeing an opportunity that feels eerily similar to what my grandparents stepped into decades ago.

We’re entering a new kind of land boom.

Not driven by tourism or highways like the past…

Find out what kind of boom I'm talking about here:

There is a special class of company legally required to pay out 90% of profits…

They’re forced by 26 U.S. Code § 857. 

And right now, a specific group of these companies is perfectly positioned to profit from a new decision by President Trump.
