Yes. Everything the same like you buy a stock. Brokerage fees, stamp duty & clearing fees.

Just curious...

Why do you want to buy into a reit that offers a yield of 2.9%?

I think the yield haven't deduct the 10% witholding tax somemore...am i correct?

FD offers 3% with much less risk...

You have any insider info that i don't have?

Come on, do share

2.9%?
Half year, 2.9% may be.

It is a 5-6% yield.

If earlier didnt join in the boat, wait for another one...Keep your precious cash to join a new boat. 5 to 6% is yet to consider high return. Aim for 7 to 8% annually and diversify to different industries REITs.

Huat together!!!

cherroy, do you have the formula to calculate net yield?

How to minus the witholding tax from the yield%?


5-6% really doesn't attract my attention

I'm looking for 12-13%.

So, at the moment, i store my ammo in ASW arsenal.

Waiting for the right moment to declare war

Here's to our huat & fatt together!

Even when i bought at end 2008 and early 2009, my net DY% never hit 12%pa to 13%pa leh. TOTAL returns got lar - inclusive of capital gains, but pure net DY%, elek
Perhaps another round of WORSE crisis, then can hit lor

Not pure net DY%pa...
If i'm not mistaken, it's just the normal yield for Axis or is it Atrium during the crisis hitting 12-13%.
So, say, i bought Axis/Atrium at 13% yield, how do i minus the 10% witholding tax?
After the 10%, i don't think i'll get 12-13%, maybe around 10-11%...

Crisis, crisis where art thou?
zam zam ala kazam...
show me the money tomorow

Looking for 12-13% ? Where were you when Atrium was below RM0.65 early 2009 ? I bought at RM0.625/0.63 giving current yield of about 13.8%.
But would you dare to buy then ? None of my friends dared to touch the stock market at that time. The prevailing mood at that time was that the sky is falling down & the KLCI would drop to zero ?!

The thing about trading/investing is to be practical and able to anticipate well in advance possible catalyst scenarios & have the courage to act accordingly. Otherwise, success would just remain an elusive daydream.

If you can find any counters yielding a consistant divvy of 12-13% now, I am sure the whole of Lowyat.net ppl would like to know. Me included

Heheh - my apologies HJebat. I track my investments in "net profit/loss" form, thus i disregard the gross DY%, not in my pocket = waffor, gimme false hope only that stats

To get that kind of yields, you need to invest near to historical low.

For some of those REITs, it's when they first dropped post-IPO... now lambat liao

Like what Buffett said, i thumb-sucking that time lo
12-13% yield is very attractive that time. But i'm still new to reit, do not intend to accumulate before i study it first.
Study punya study, still don't quite get it, so never get the chance to add into my portfolio
Now, lagi no chance. Waiting for another crisis to show its ugly face
12-13% now? In this bullish market environment ka? Wah, i also want to know myself le

Very well said .

When everything is a plenty , few wanted them, just like the property markets.

When there is not much around, people want it.

When you asked any friends to invest for 13% return, you had to give them thousand and one good reasons to invest. And they returned you with just one excuse for not investing.

Now, you do not have to give any reason, they are interested. That is life, perhaps.

Just my view.

Human style alwys like that ....

Thus, knowing this, perhaps a cold logical approach (no fear / greed) methodology can help?

If you able find a 12-13% yield in current bullish market, then better be careful.
It could be too good to be true...

Market is somehow got its own efficient, they don't wait for you to buy 12-13% yield good investment.

Added on May 17, 2011, 1:54 pmAtrium when drop to 0.6x times, it was not a 13% yield stock.
One of its warehouse lease expired and not being renewed immediately, resulted EPS as well as DPU per Q drop to roughly 0.8 cents, annualised 3.2 cents, so it was roughly 9-10% yield, coupled with economy recession and crisis environment, resulted the price plunged.

For Axis, yes, it was a 14-15% yield back but with global severe credit crisis, there is a fear that reit may not able to get refinancing smoothly, lease is not going to renewed.

So basically, if there is high yield going on, then the risk situation is different.
You cannot possible get a >8% yield investment while still relative safe in term of risk.

Want extra-ordinary good yield, only during crisis, chaotic time.

I am very surprise to see some people actually wishing for another crisis to come just because they want to buy something stocks that give yield of 12-13%?! What are they thinking?! They prefer to lose their jobs to buy some stocks giving them yield of 12-13%? LOL!

Economics Crisis comes in every 10-year cycle. So I guess the next crisis should be in year 2018?

Yes, economic crisis appears to come in 10 or 11 year cycles.

However, stock markets do not only crash according to this cycle.

I was just a kid then, but I believe the Malaysian stock prices also went down badly in 1993 or 94 and around 2000?
