Matt Frankel: I could name 50 different real estate companies that no one's ever heard of that are probably really underappreciated in terms of safety stocks. Empire State Realty Trust (ESRT -1.27%) is my single largest investment because like you said, it owns iconic assets like the Empire State Building.
I think one that's also underappreciated for the sake of not naming another real estate company is General Motors (GM -0.04%). That's one that I consider relatively safe, generating tons of free cash flow, great management, much better financial position. I think a lot of people underappreciate it because of the bankruptcy that it went through a decade ago.
It's a different company today, just a totally different business. Not that it's a totally safe stock, like we said, there is no such thing. There's a lot that can go wrong and it's somewhat cyclical, things like that. But I think that's one that the market has a perception that it's a dangerous business. I don't think that's really the case anymore.
