My Stock of the Day: VNQ


This Vanguard ETF bills itself as the largest of its kind
I’m among the many who believe the outlook for investment in real estate is excellent just now, perhaps better that it has ever been—in a robust real-estate market recovering from a deep pullback.  
With $14 billion in AUM, VNQ is more than three times larger than the next-largest real estate ETF. It overloads its 10 largest holdings.
The fund’s expense ratio is a mere 0.10%.
My three-month performance chart at Yahoo! suggests a fresh pullback is under way. My guess is that it will be neither deep nor lasting and thus presents an excellent buying opportunity. We’ll see.
I don’t own VNQ now but I expect to buy it near the bottom of its present pullback.
Never forget: All investments and savings are gambles on the unknown future and thus subject to loss.
