In fact, it's responsible for more millionaires than all other assets classes combined. But get this: Real estate crashes can create even bigger, faster fortunes than owning property can. For example, in 2008, John Paulson made $20 billion shorting the housing market. In 2020, Carl Icahn made $1.3 billion shorting shopping malls. Today, the $21 trillion commercial real estate market is in free fall. Pros have already played it for $600 million in a single day. And the biggest trades are setting up now... Editor's Note: We're doing something a little different for this week's Safety Net. We normally wouldn't cover the same stock in The Value Meter and Safety Net within a week. But several of you asked us to evaluate Pfizer in both columns, so we thought it'd be valuable to take a look at it from both a value angle and a dividend angle. Remember, a stock's valuation and its dividend safety can be very different. Be sure to gather as much information as possible before buying a stock, and always consider which strategies are the best fit for you and your investing goals. - Rachel Gearhart, Publisher SAFETY NET Beware This Dangerous 6.3% Yielder John Oravec, Research Analyst, The Oxford Club COVID-19 put a lot of companies in the spotlight. Cruise companies like Carnival (NYSE: CCL) found themselves without any customers... And tech companies like Zoom Video Communications (Nasdaq: ZM) and Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC) found a sudden windfall of cash... But no company shined more than the vaccine makers Moderna (Nasdaq: MRNA) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE). Back in 2021, Marc covered Pfizer and gave it a fantastic dividend safety rating of "A." But that was back then. This is now. As Director of Trading Anthony Summers showed you on Friday, Pfizer's stock may no longer be the golden child it used to be for your portfolio. Perhaps it's a different story when it comes to Pfizer's dividend, though. The company currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.42, which equates to a very nice annual yield of 6.3%. Is the dividend still as trustworthy as it was in 2021? Let's dive into the numbers... SPONSORED 🚀 Outperform Stocks With the Commodities Boom! 🚀 Worried about the stock market?

And where there's a drop in revenue, we'll almost certainly see a drop in free cash flow. In 2022, Pfizer's free cash flow was $26 billion. Fast-forward to 2023, and we see that it fell to only $4.8 billion. View larger image   That's an 81.6% drop in just one year. And it has me seeing red flags all over. On top of that, the decline in free cash flow resulted in a 194% payout ratio for the company. That's well above our 75% threshold. In addition to seeing red flags, I'm now hearing sirens in the distance for the company's dividend...
