Roblox Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) will soon implement new restrictions to protect young users from certain types of content and interactions.
Starting December 3, game creators must indicate if their games suit users under 13. Games lacking this classification will be automatically restricted for players aged 12 and younger.
Additionally, as of November 18, preteen users will no longer have access to certain social areas known as &#8220;social hangouts,&#8221; which allow real-time text and voice chat between players, BBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy9kry4lvko" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Roblox will prohibit children under 13 from accessing games with &#8220;free-form 2D user creation&#8221; on November 18 to further safeguard younger users.
This feature includes tools like virtual chalkboards or whiteboards, where players can draw or write without prior moderation. The company hopes that restricting this feature will help reduce the risk of offensive messages or images appearing unfiltered on the platform.
Content creators who want to make their experiences accessible to younger users must meet specific age-appropriate requirements, complete a detailed questionnaire, and ensure compliance with Roblox&#8217;s guidelines.
Roblox has faced significant scrutiny over child safety. Earlier this year, an Ofcom report highlighted Roblox as the most popular game among UK children aged 8 to 12.
However, the platform has also received complaints regarding potential risks to younger players, including reports of inappropriate interactions. Turkey, for instance, blocked Roblox in August over similar concerns.
In October, the company introduced new parental controls, including a more manageable account type for parents to oversee their children&#8217;s activities.
Juliet Chaitin-Lefcourt, a Roblox spokesperson, told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/6/24289837/roblox-banning-preteens-social-hangout-spaces" rel="noreferrer noopener">the</a> Verge that the company shipped over 30 improvements this year, with more to come. Chaitin-Lefcourt added that transparency with the developer community remains a priority as the company rolls out these updates.
The full enforcement of these new safety standards will continue into the following year as Roblox introduces stricter age-based access and a rating system to protect younger users.
Roblox reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41654520/roblox-q3-earnings-bookings-jump-34-user-base-hits-89-million-raises-annual-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal third-quarter 2024</a> bookings growth of 34% to $1.13 billion. The Average Daily Active Users (DAUs) were 88.9 million, up 27%. The Hours Engaged were 20.7 billion, up 29%.
In October, Roblox faced&nbsp;two bearish reports&nbsp;from&nbsp;Bear Cave and&nbsp;Hindenberg for allegedly inflating key user metrics, including daily active users (DAUs) and engagement hours.
Price Action: RBLX stock is up 0.88% at $53.37 at&nbsp;the last check on Thursday.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">USDJPY Analysis</h3>
Beginning with the&nbsp;USDJPY, the pair is now approaching the July peak at 155.21 after breaking above a resistance level at 153.87. If the bullish momentum persists, we may see patterns emerge that could limit upward movement. Around the 161.8% Fibonacci extension, shortly above July's highs, at 155.55, a bearish crab pattern could emerge, which might lead to a correction toward the .382% retracement at 149.47. Still, a crucial question is whether this DXY strength will last or if it is only a temporary response to the elections.
Should this momentum endure, and we may observe the&nbsp;USDJPY&nbsp;challenge previous highs around to the monthly fractal resistance forged at 161.95. In this scenario, the bearish crab pattern would change to a bearish shark pattern as it moves into the 224% Fibonacci extension, which is oddly in line with the price of 161.68 and just below the major fractal resistance level. Looking at other Japanese peers, the question remains: "Will an eventual dollar appreciation in the current environment favor the decline of the Japanese yen in general?"

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AUDJPY and EURJPY Movements</h3>
Let's look at the pair AUDJPY. For nearly a month, the pair has been negotiating a 260-pip range between support at 99.07 and resistance at 101.69. In response to the American elections, the pair was forced to depart the weekly fractal resistance that was acting as support at 99.86 and test the upper limit of this range and daily fractal resistance at 101.69. The break over this resistance  can open the door to an interesting upward movement, or it can even force the par to challenge the previous highs established at 109.37. As this scenario emerges, we should also be aware of the formation of patterns, such as a bearish bat pattern at 107.17.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="568" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115350/AUDJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-31-1024x568.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3055" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115350/AUDJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-31-1024x568.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115350/AUDJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-31-300x167.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115350/AUDJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-31-768x426.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115350/AUDJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-31.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The&nbsp;EURJPY&nbsp;pair is under pressure due to the direct relationship between the DXY and the EUR/USD, and has had a neutral reaction to the American elections, only slightly dropping following the establishment of the fractal resistance at 166.69. The intraday support around 164.94 limits downward movement, raising the question of whether the Yen's weakening against the dollar can induce upward movement in this and other yen pairs, causing it to move higher and eventually force the restest to the previous highs of July 11 and monthly fractal resistance at 175.42. Similar to the previous pairs, we should be aware of the formation of "reversal" patterns, which in this case are projected at 171,03, indicating a 3.8% upward movement towards the.886% Fibonacci retracement level.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="568" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115425/EURJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-43-1024x568.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3056" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115425/EURJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-43-1024x568.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115425/EURJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-43-300x167.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115425/EURJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-43-768x426.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115425/EURJPY_2024-11-06_20-40-43.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GBPJPY and NZDJPY Trends</h3>
The&nbsp;GBPJPY&nbsp;chart shows a fairly linear and objective price structure. The weekly fractal resistance was broken at 195.97, resulting in the formation of a new resistance at 199.80, but it was also retested, and rejected, with the formation of a new fractal support at 195.38. If the fractal resistance is confirmed to be broken, the opportunity to retest the previous highs of July 11th becomes viable. Similar to the EUR/JPY pair, the Pound may form a bearish bat pattern projected at 204.84 at the .886 Fibonacci retracement level, and this implies a 2.5% increase over the most recent resistance now under pressure.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="568" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115512/GBPJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-00-1024x568.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3057" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115512/GBPJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-00-1024x568.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115512/GBPJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-00-300x167.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115512/GBPJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-00-768x426.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115512/GBPJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-00.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The&nbsp;NZDJPY&nbsp;pair may also be affected in the same way. If the break in the range that has remained for 36 days between resistance formed at 92.29 and support formed at 90.05 is confirmed, we can anticipate an attempt to test the July highs at 99.00. The same bearish bat pattern is projected to surge at the.886% Fibonacci retracement level of 97.18, indicating a 5.3% increase above the fractal resistance.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="568" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115540/NZDJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-10-1024x568.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3058" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115540/NZDJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-10-1024x568.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115540/NZDJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-10-300x167.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115540/NZDJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-10-768x426.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115540/NZDJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-10.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CADJPY Outlook</h3>
Finally, and not to be overlooked,&nbsp;CADJPY&nbsp;is now testing resistance as I write. The range between resistance at 110.72 and support at 108.96 is under threat of a breakout to the upside. If this occurs, we may anticipate a more substantial recovery attempt for the pair. However, much like my projection for&nbsp;USDJPY, we could also foresee the formation of a bearish deep crab pattern around 112.96—just above the late-July highs of 112.09. However, the possibility of retesting previous highs remains open for this pair as well. In this scenario, we'll also be monitoring for the potential formation of a bearish bat pattern, which is projected to emerge around 116.90.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="568" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115614/CADJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-21-1024x568.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3059" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115614/CADJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-21-1024x568.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115614/CADJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-21-300x167.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115614/CADJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-21-768x426.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07115614/CADJPY_2024-11-06_20-41-21.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

Volcon shares are trading lower after the company announced a 1-for--18 reverse stock split.

A Trump presidency<a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/europe-frets-about-recession-after?r=3nmatg"> has raised concern in Europe that a new round</a> of tariffs under his <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/11/04/how-much-could-trumps-tariffs-damage-europes-economy">administration will cause a economic recession</a> in Europe.
A trade war during Trump's four-year term would also increase the probability of the European Central Bank (ECB) cutting rates faster to spur growth. Analysts issued pessimistic outlooks for European economic growth after Trump won the election.
On election day, the US dollar rallied sharply, sending the euro to a four-month low and boosting Bitcoin by 10% to a record high. 
European stocks exposed to the US have already shown their vulnerability. A Barclays basket of 28 <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/europe-trump-win-outlook-trade-war-tariff-crypto-djt-election-2024-10">European stocks sensitive to US tariffs</a> has underperformed the broader STOXX600 index by 15% this year.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Presidency Could Impact Europe's GDP</h3>
The European Union (EU) will need to confront the reality of a much different relationship with its largest trading partner from January 20. Previous <a href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/10/24/would-donald-trumps-trade-tariffs-hurt-europe">tariffs on 6.4 billion in EU steel and aluminum</a>, alongside threats on automotive imports, have shown how US protectionism can reverberate through European economies.&nbsp;
Trump&#8217;s potential trade policies in 2025, including a proposed 10% to 20% <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/c0f1d1b9-8348-4b7d-8ab7-186fcf2ebbd1">tariff on European goods</a>, pose a substantial threat to European growth. Following Trump&#8217;s win, Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/783a573c-7ff3-461c-86f5-f194a89e3926">downgraded Europe's growth</a> for 2025 from 1.1% to 0.8%, citing limited European auto exports.
The German economic institute IW believes the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/trump-presidency-could-deal-heavy-blow-germanys-flagging-economy-2024-10-24/">Eurozone&#8217;s GDP could decline by 1.5%</a> in 2027 and 2028. Goldman Sachs expects a 1% reduction if a 10% universal tariff is implemented instead.
Historically, Trump&#8217;s tariffs have hampered European growth due to steep declines in exports, a trend that could repeat. Major exports to the US accounted for ~90% of all European transatlantic exports in 2023 to €502.3 billion, European Commission (EC) data showed.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcvDK80Z1hUJyXyvBBoAMMZeFNr-xIVF1HOlXtj5f6tyZXetVpHGPs9afu43LAEz62sGA2rBTRYFExGxZIpot6NEMoR9FSz8MZpQOWeaegFSiq-af0hbjlqRKJQcifBBKtRYdpvm-brz9WvSj6543imX5QpjbXn9iE8MSyrl2c9XKSTRVJvkWo?key=heoBp3pffbhAPsc75vkVjtPK" alt="" style="width:624px" /></figure>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Presidency Could Cause Eurozone GDP Loos</h3>
The blow to the Eurozone from a potential 1.5% GDP reduction could translate to a €260 billion loss on an estimated GDP of €17.4 trillion for 2024. This is over half the entire transatlantic exports registered in 2023.
"The direct effects and the indirect effects and the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-06/ecb-s-guindos-warns-of-huge-implications-of-trump-tariff-plans">deviations of commerce will be huge</a>, ECB Vice-President and French central bank head Francois Villeroy said on Wednesday.
Even the lower end of the proposed tariffs would compel ECB policymakers to cut rates more aggressively in 2025 if Trump implements his economic policies. Sven Jari Stehn of Goldman Sachs said in a note on Wednesday that he expects the ECB to cut an additional quarter-point in July.
&#8220;The American election must sound like <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/ecbs-villeroy-trump-election-means-more-risks-world-economy-2024-11-06/">a wakeup call for Europe</a>,&#8221; Villeroy said.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Germany At Greater Risk From Trump Presidency</h3>
Nations with large trade surpluses with the US face significant risks from policies that have strained transatlantic economic relationships in the past.&nbsp;
&#8220;Half of Germany&#8217;s growth always comes from exports and if you look at what&#8217;s going on in the world, you have to say that this pillar is under attack,&#8221; Germany's Economy Minister Robert Habeck said in October.&nbsp;
Germany exported over €157.7 billion of goods to the US in 2023. However, exports to the US contracted by 0.3% amid slowing demand and geopolitical escalation.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcunKZmSO2PXjTxoH5i3tumZTnE67LZaCy7n4plCOQCM-KaRa1NuHKfI4lwpeo7MwLbb0Aqn3RC9uLnOkJStOR3w4q2RuS55tghIU6m7QH1DLzfjJN5JdP3W4yQjJtarOqVnK06z5h7keeKLRkVAAEVOWJuwmL_gOl6HSiH65l3dYNqP9_E8Tc?key=heoBp3pffbhAPsc75vkVjtPK" alt="" style="width:624px" /></figure>

Dirk Schumacher, head of European macro research at Natixis Corporate &amp; Investment Banking Germany, says a 10% tariff increase could reduce Germany&#8217;s GDP by approximately 0.5%. A study by the Hans Boeckler Foundation macroeconomic institute suggests a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/trump-presidency-could-deal-heavy-blow-germanys-flagging-economy-2024-10-24/">1% GDP erosion by 2026 if Trump implemented a 20% tarif</a>f.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Germany Is Only G7 Nation Without Growth For Two Years</h3>
Germany remains the only G7 nation that has <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2023/07/30/germany-expected-to-be-only-major-economy-not-to-grow-this-year">failed to grow for two years</a> due to higher energy prices, borrowing costs, and a slow rebound in China. Europe&#8217;s largest economy would suffer if its largest trading partner reduced output and imposed tariffs on China.
<figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfbVgaykBooXaV2_V2tFat4uPtjSxEtqJGbs1aXsckrchdNTyahnrivFRGcxzAeLoaUgFZv01KIV-g8Yk9HsuFFKgTBaSOSnOMknWvtj2G33RbD160IYtL7hnpn4l8SEaHdqM7rlcRtquZTqdr_AIIQEqM4qaXq4XQsubxXGLI35Dt86aCL_ds?key=heoBp3pffbhAPsc75vkVjtPK" alt="" style="width:624px" /></figure>
German Exports to China, 2020-2024, Source: <a href="https://www.ceicdata.com/en/germany/trade-statistics-by-country/exports-china">CEIC</a>
&#8220;Germany isn&#8217;t going to be bailed out by a restoration of growth in China," Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, senior fellow at Bruegel and the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told Reuters.
An Ifo study found that German exports to China and the US could fall by 9.6% and 14.9% in a full-scale trade war scenario in which the US imposes a 60% tariff on Chinese goods. Pharmaceutical and car exports would be hit the hardest, down 35% and 32%, the Ifo said.
Trump's tariffs would substantially trim European exports to the US, possibly creating a cycle of retaliation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Swift Retaliatory Action From Europe</h3>
Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, believes that Trump's presidency would initiate a new trade war with Europe but sounded the alarm of swift retaliation.&nbsp;
"The market is <a href="https://www.financialmirror.com/2024/10/29/trump-trade-war-with-europe-would-hurt-us-stocks/">underestimating the risk of swift European retaliation</a> and the pressure this could place on key American stocks," he said.
Retaliatory measures could hit US earnings in the S&amp;P 500 by 1.5% next year. However, European stocks exposed to US tariffs could plunge as much as 7%, according to Barclays.&nbsp;
&#8220;In the event of a full-blown trade war, we could see up to a high single-digit drag on EPS growth with Germany," Barclays' head of European equity strategy, Emmanuel Cau, said. However, Goldman Sachs believes that a 1% GDP loss, if transported, would erase EPS growth for 2025.
Certain European sectors could still gain from a Trump presidency.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Defense Will Benefit From Trump Presidency&nbsp;</h3>
In addition to the energy sector, defense companies could see increased demand from European nations under a Trump Presidency. He is likely to push them to increase their NATO defense spending.&nbsp;
Earlier in 2024, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/14/nato-chief-rebukes-donald-trump-and-announces-record-defence-spending">he threatened to "not protect"</a> any alliance members that failed to ramp up their defense spending to the 2% GDP target.&nbsp;
Following the warning, NATO claimed that more than 18 members would <a href="https://www.euractiv.com/section/defence-and-security/news/nato-says-18-members-will-reach-2-spending-target-this-year/">surpass the 2% target </a>this year. The number of allies meeting or exceeding the target soared to 23 this year, prompting <a href="https://breakingdefense.com/2024/10/trump-wants-nato-to-hit-3-percent-gdp-on-defense-the-us-could-fall-short/">Trump to raise the bar to 3% of GDP</a>.&nbsp;

After taking office, Mark Rutte, the new Secretary General of NATO, said, &#8220;thanks to Trump&#8221; NATO increased defense spending. In Europe, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/11/how-much-does-each-nato-country-spend-in-2024">Poland doubled the defense spending target</a> at 4.12% and Estonia by 3.43%, followed by Latvia and Greece.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Stocks For Trump Presidency</h3>
Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Greece have been increasing their defense spending and primarily source military equipment from a combination of US and European defense contractors.&nbsp;

HIV Drugmaker Gilead Reports Strongest Quarterly Performance Of 2024, Analysts Boost Price Target On Raised Outlook

Once you have been in the financial publishing industry long enough, you realize that people write a lot of what passes for content and analysis that have no idea how markets and economics work.
They know little to nothing about behavioral economics or balance sheet analysis.
They have never worked on a desk, been in a pit, dealt with a margin call, or taken panicked phone calls from investors after a market crash.
They have degrees in English, Communication, and, worst of all, Marketing.
They write about what everyone else writes about.
They care about clicks and not profits.
They can write an elegantly structured paragraph summarizing a recent PR puff piece, which is about as valuable as government peanut butter and cheese.
It fills space but does not have much value.
This becomes glaringly obvious when you read the nonsense that gets written about institutional buying and selling activities.
I regularly see articles that breathlessly announce that Vanguard has bought or sold a major portion of a company.
We also see announcements involving activity by BlackRock and Fidelity, and the articles imply that these purchases have some meaning.
They do not.
Vanguard and BlackRock are the largest purveyors of index funds. Their buying and selling may tell a story about fund flows, but the individual security activity is meaningless.
Fidelity is so big that if they look at a company, they accidentally cross the 5% ownership threshold that triggers an SEC filing.
Tracking institutional activity is valuable if you know which transactions matter and which ones do not.
Vanguard buying shares of Robinhood (Ticker: HOOD) and selling some Nikola (Ticker: NKLA does not mean anything to stock investors looking for potential bargains.
Several institutions with specialized information and vital track records buying into a beaten-up sector potentially has enormous value.
One of the most beaten-up sectors is real estate.
As all the Instant Experts on the Internet will inform you, real estate is the single worst asset class in the history of assets.
There is an excellent chance that no one will ever go into an office again.
We have so many apartments that the suburbs look like scenes from a post-apocalyptic Western, with tumbleweeds blowing through mile after mile of empty apartment buildings.
No one goes to shopping centers anymore.
Everything is delivered.
All those cars are just using the free parking spaces.
The banking system is so choked with bad real estate loans that it will collapse any day and be replaced by the newest top-secret penny crypto, which has the potential to make you a billionaire in a week starting next Tuesday.
I have heard these types of stories swirling around real estate before and during my career.
Texas real estate was a disaster in the 1980s, and you could barely give it away.
In the aftermath of the S&amp;L crisis in the 1980s and early 1990s, real estate attracted all sorts of negative attention.
It was even worse in the aftermath of the internet bubble bursting.
The Great Financial Crisis was the gold standard for toxic real estate conversations.
Each time the smart money piled in and made a fortune.
According to recent SEC filings, they are doing it again this time.
The Macquarie Group is a division of the Macquarie Bank in Sydney, Australia. The group handles the bank&#8217;s business and investing outside of Australia and has had quite a reputation over the years as a very shrewd and profitable dealmaker.
In the second half of 2024, Macquarie Group has been moving into US real estate.
The firm just filed forms with the SEC revealing it now owns over 5% of Lexington Realty Trust, an owner of single-tenant warehouse and industrial properties in Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona.
The firm is clearly very bullish on the single-tenant industrial markets as it has also been buying shares of Plymouth Industrial REIT (Ticker: PLYM) this year.
The firm is also a large owner and frequent buyer of VICI Properties (Ticker: VICI), an owner of casinos with a strong presence in the Las Vegas market and an outstanding history of growing both cash flows and dividend payouts.
Robert Robotti is one of those under-the-radar value investors most people do not know exist, but since opening his doors over 40 years ago, he has crushed the markets.
Robotti recently filed paperwork with the SEC revealing that he now owns 9.7% of Five Points Holdings (Ticker: FPH), a master-planned community developer that combines residential, commercial, retail, educational, and recreational elements.
The Irvine, California, company does business in Orange County, Los Angeles County, and San Francisco County and has not been a favorite of the markets since its IPO in 2017.
Sam Levinson, the Chief Investment Officer at Glick Family Investments and member of the Five Points Board, has also been making large purchases of the stock recently.
The stock is ridiculously undervalued, with shares trading at 4.4 times free cash flow and 41% of tangible book value.
If Five Points just survives, you have a strong chance of at least doubling your money.
Robotti also accumulated shares of Legacy Homes (Ticker: LEGH), a builder of manufactured and tiny homes, earlier this year.
Smart money is moving into real estate at current prices.
For what it is worth, fund flows are even forcing indexers like Vanguard and BlackRock to buy real estate-related companies.
The Instant Experts of the Internet hate what the smart money is buying. That is an excellent buy signal in our book.
