Dear Thoughtful Investor,

"The markets will behave according to their own nature, entirely independent of our wishes or analysis."

This truth, understood by the ancient Stoics and largely forgotten by Wall Street, has never been more relevant than today – especially for investors seeking reliable income in an increasingly chaotic market environment.

Hi, I'm Tim Melvin. After decades in the markets, I've learned that successful investing isn't just about numbers – it's about wisdom, patience, and what Benjamin Graham called "intellectual independence." Today, I want to share how these timeless principles can help you generate sustainable, growing income in a world where traditional strategies are failing.

The Challenges We Face

• Interest rates are plummeting – the Fed has already started cutting

• Inflation persists – even "benign" 2.5% inflation will cut your purchasing power in half by 2050

• Stock markets are at dangerous valuation levels last seen in 1999 and 2007

• Traditional fixed income leaves retirees vulnerable to inflation's wealth-destroying power

But here's what most investors miss: The solution isn't found in chasing yields or timing markets. It's found in applying timeless philosophical principles to modern market opportunities.

Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, understood that successful investing requires more than financial analysis – it demands literature, philosophy, and what he called "intellectual independence." This ability to think independently when others are swept up in emotion is exactly what's needed in today's market environment.

The Stoic Path to Income

Through extensive research and decades of market experience, I've identified two asset classes that embody these philosophical principles while providing generous current income: Real Estate and Infrastructure.

Consider this remarkable fact: Over the past 50 years, REITs have outperformed stocks, bonds, and inflation. Yet most advisors recommend only minimal exposure to real estate. Why? Because they're following the crowd rather than practicing intellectual independence.

In the Melvin Real Income Report, I combine philosophical wisdom with practical analysis to:

• Generate 7%+ current income from our carefully selected portfolio

• Protect and grow your purchasing power with inflation-resistant investments

• Capitalize on deeply discounted assets trading below intrinsic value

• Build a growing income stream that outpaces inflation

Our Unique Dual-Portfolio Approach

1. The Total Return Portfolio: High-quality REITs paying 5.5% average yields, with strong dividend growth potential and 25-30% upside to net asset value. Like Graham, we focus on buying assets well below their intrinsic value.

2. The Real Income Portfolio: Targeting 8% yields through discounted closed-end funds, bonds, and preferred stocks in real estate and infrastructure. This portfolio embodies the Stoic principle of preparing for adverse scenarios while maximizing current income. Like tenants such as MGM and Caesars, growing dividends 7% annually since 2018.

A Philosophy of Income

Albert Camus is regarded as one of the great French philosophers. He was also a hero of the Second World War as in spite of suffering from tuberculosis he was a leader in the resistance movement that defied the Nazis.

Camus believed life was absurd and that the only way to survive it was to embrace absurdity and live a good life.

That philosophy also applies to markets and investing.

As Camus suggested, the best way to deal with market absurdity is to recognize it exists, engage with reality, and avoid anyone claiming all the answers. That's why our approach focuses on:

• Controlling the controllable: Identifying deeply discounted assets

• Accepting market realities: Understanding that prices will fluctuate

• Maintaining thorough preparation: Diversifying across multiple income streams

• Avoiding false consolations: Not chasing yields or market fads
