One of the Best Ways to Invest in an Aging Population - with Yield
by Ian Cooper

Americans aged 65 and older accounted for 17% of the U.S. population in 2020, or about 55.8 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Some will turn 80 this year, and is expected to create bigger demand for senior and care facilities. In fact, as quoted by CNBC, "The 80+ population is set to increase meaningfully over the next few years, which will drive a material increase in demand for senior housing," wrote Jefferies analyst Joe Dickstein."

We also have to consider that people are living longer, which increases demand even more. Plus, there's a growing shortage of caregivers to meet the explosive demand.

As noted by Medsien.com, "The growing aging population is driving demand for more medical care, as we face provider shortages. Patients 65 and older account for 34% of the demand for physicians. And by 2034, patients over 65 will account for 42% of the demand. An aging population means higher use of health care services and a greater need for family and professional caregivers."

So, what’s the best way to invest?

We suggest care facility real estate investment trusts not only for their exposure to a growing market but also for their yield.

Purchase Stock or Option Contract?
by Andy Chambers
What are the differences between purchasing shares of stock compared to purchasing an option contract? Let's say that you happen to feel that the stock of IBM is likely to increase in value by around 10% during the next six months. You could buy the stock, wait for the price to increase, and then sell if for a profit. If IBM is trading at $80 a share on the day of your purchase and you decide to buy 100 shares, your investment would be:

100 Shares at $80 a Share = $8,000

If you're right and the price of the stock increases in value from $80 a share to $88 a share, your investment would be valued at $8,800 and you'd have a profit of $800, or 10%.

However, instead of purchasing 100 shares of stock in IBM, you could have purchased an 'option contract'. An option contract would give you the right to buy the stock at a specified price, let's say $80 a share, within a specified period of time, let's say 6 months. The price that you would pay for the option is called the 'option premium'. When purchasing an option contract, the option premium is determined by 'the market'. In other words, traders around the world that are interested in purchasing the same option will have to 'bid', or specify a price that they're willing to pay. The price that other interested parties are willing to pay for an item is referred to as 'the market'. For this example, let's use an option premium price of $775. Options on stocks are created by the options exchange and one option contract represents 100 shares of stock.
