Advisors' Opinion:

• [By MONEYMORNING]

  But, on its own I still really like this pick. It's Annaly Capital Management Inc. (NYSE: NLY).

  I like this mortgage REIT for several reasons. First and foremost it's been hit hard as interest rates have risen. It's a "bottom-feeding" play for us. Meaning it's trading down at its 52-week lows and we're playing it for a bounce.

  As Spain recovers from its worst crisis in decades, TEF stock should enjoy a nice rally. I expect total returns of over 100% in the next 12-24 months.

  Monmouth Real Estate Investment (NYSE: MNR  ) will release its quarterly report on Thursday, and investors have been nervous lately about the real estate investment trust's prospects in a rising interest rate environment. Yet what sets Monmouth apart from both leveraged mortgage REIT Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY  ) and traditional industrial REITs is t! he fact t! hat Monmouth gets about half of its rental revenue from a single customer, FedEx (NYSE: FDX  ) . Does that add an unacceptable level of risk to the investment, or is it actually a positive for Monmouth?

  Annaly Capital (NLY) is one of the leaders in the mortgage REIT sector, and the stock has not been spared the pummeling seen in this group. So far in 2013 the shares have fallen by more than 25% … but insiders seem to think that better times are ahead.
