  • This weekend's Barron's cover story offers a look at the prospects for a troubled industrial giant.
  • Other featured articles offer four stock picks for an aging bull market and the prospects for real estate investment trusts as interest rates rise.
  • Also, whether an embattled athletic-wear maker is turning around and it is time to take profits at a top homebuilder.

"General Electric's Dim Prospects" by Andrew Bary examines why the slide in the shares of troubled industrial giant General Electric Company GE has attracted bargain hunters. See why Barron's warns that business challenges in GE's aerospace, power and other businesses could send shares down another 10 percent or more.

Jack Hough's "4 Stock Picks for an Aging Bull Market" makes the case that it's time for investors to think about how and when the bull market will end and what will perform well. See why Lam Research Corporation LRCX and others may be well-positioned for the later stages of this long market rally.

In "REITs Are Sending a Powerful Buy Signal," Andrew Bary, points out that the attraction of real estate investment trusts such as Simon Property Group Inc SPG and others is enhanced as rising interest rates have depressed industry shares. Discover why Barron's believes REITs are best viewed as stock/bond hybrids.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury topped 2.9 percent last week, according to "Finding Safe Payouts as Interest Rates Rise" by Lawrence C. Strauss.
