Wall Street started the week in the red, as traders weighed the economic and geopolitical fallout from escalating tensions in the Middle East. 
Monday marked the one-year anniversary of Hamas&#8217; October 7 attack, which triggered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/10/41210761/oil-surges-on-1-year-hamas-attack-anniversary-as-israel-mulls-iran-retaliation">ongoing war in Gaza</a>. The situation is now threatening to spread across the region, as Israel considers retaliating for last week&#8217;s missile attacks from Iran.
By 1 p.m. ET, the major indices were modestly lower, with the S&amp;P 500 down 0.5% and the Dow Jones off by 0.7%. The Nasdaq 100 also slid 0.5%. The energy sector was the only bright spot, buoyed by surging oil prices.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), jumped over 3%, climbing to $77 per barrel. This rally marked its fifth consecutive session of gains, fueled by concerns that Israel may retaliate against Iran, a key oil producer, for its involvement in regional conflicts.
Last week&#8217;s blowout U.S. labor market data, coupled with rising oil prices and fresh stimulus measures out of China, pushed 10-year Treasury yields above 4%, setting the stage for the highest levels since late July. Investors appear increasingly wary of long-duration bonds, sending the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) down 0.6%, extending its losing streak to four sessions.
Market sentiment around the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming policy decisions has also shifted. The probability of the Fed refraining from cutting interest rates next month has dropped to just 17%, according to CME FedWatch Tool, 
Rising yields weighed heavily on metals, with gold down 0.4% to $2,645 per ounce and silver dropping 1.3%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) gained 1.4%, trading at $63,682.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKD#NYSE">BKD</a>).</a>
The Details: Since February 2003, Brookdale has leased and operated these 18 senior living communities across various states which the company will now acquire for $135 million.
Chris Bilotto, CEO of Diversified Healthcare, said, &#8220;This transaction is a further implementation of our ongoing initiatives to optimize our portfolio and enhance our liquidity. The sale opportunistically monetizes this NNN portfolio at a premium valuation of over&nbsp;$150,000&nbsp;per unit.

How To Buy Diversified Healthcare Shares
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Diversified Healthcare (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHC#NASDAQ">DHC</a>) &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of Diversified Healthcare (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHC#NASDAQ">DHC</a>), which is trading at $4.13 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 24.21 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

DHC intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to pay down its $941 million of senior secured notes due January 2026.
Chris Bilotto, President and Chief Executive Officer of DHC, made the following statement:
"This transaction is a further implementation of our ongoing initiatives to optimize our portfolio and enhance our liquidity. The sale opportunistically monetizes this NNN portfolio at a premium valuation of over $150,000 per unit. The proceeds from the transaction reflect an in-place cap rate on the lease's annualized income of 7.3% and will allow us to reduce our leverage."
The properties that Brookdale will acquire as part of the transaction include:

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock&#39;s recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the &#39;long&#39; context, investors will essentially be &quot;buying high, but hoping to sell even higher.&quot; And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock&#39;s price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.
While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Brookdale Senior Living (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bkd#NYSE">BKD</a>), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.
It&#39;s also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Brookdale Senior Living currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period.
Set to Beat the Market?
In order to see if BKD is a promising momentum pick, let&#39;s examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this senior housing company holds up.
Looking at a stock&#39;s short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It&#39;s also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.
For BKD, shares are up 6.55% over the past week while the Zacks Medical - Nursing Homes industry is up 2.19% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 10.12% compares favorably with the industry&#39;s 10.12% performance as well.
Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of Brookdale Senior Living have increased 12.67% over the past quarter, and have gained 72.34% in the last year. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 has only moved 7.37% and 26.79%, respectively.
Investors should also take note of BKD&#39;s average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now, BKD is averaging 1,618,298 shares for the last 20 days.
Earnings Outlook
The Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock&#39;s price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with BKD.
Over the past two months, 1 earnings estimate moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost BKD&#39;s consensus estimate, increasing from -$0.64 to -$0.52 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 1 estimate has moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.
Bottom Line
Given these factors, it shouldn&#39;t be surprising that BKD is a #2 (Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of B. If you&#39;re looking for a fresh pick that&#39;s set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Brookdale Senior Living on your short list.
