I’ve created a list of companies likely to take a beating when the next recession finally arrives. One of such sectors is probably lodging and within the sector Apple Hospitality REIT appears to have quite solid fundamentals. Therefore I consider it as safe enough to own even in the current economic environment. I didn’t want to start with too big exposure so I bought 110 shares for 17,64 USD per share. This is enough to keep me interested while waiting for the economic turn. Meanwhile I can collect quite decent monthly dividends and also have the possibility to trade it in and out since it seems to swing quite consistently between high 17’s and low 20’s.
