Two “Trade War Proof” Dividends Paying 6.6% and 6.7%, Trading Dirt Cheap

Markets went off the rails this week, as the 10- and 2-year Treasury yields invert.

The other sector? A textbook “value trap”—it’s cheap for a reason, and is about to plunge further.

You can see the 2 sectors I’m talking about in this chart from Yardeni Research:

The 2 worst performers, consumer staples (the purple line) and real estate investment trusts, or REITs (beige line) have flopped 12.4% and 8.5%, respectively.…
