Is this a good time to buy an REIT stock?

yes buy arreit

Nope 0.88 not matched. But I dun wosh to go down further. I have avg from 0.94 to 0.90. Enough of averaging liau.

When arriet going to annouce next dividend?

Sunreit CMMT? What say you?

It depends whether U are willing to hold the REITs for DY of 7% ish or not lor - assuming that REIT U buy at current price = gross DY 7%+ to 8%. If U ok with that, dont bother about falling price lar.
If fall good mar, buy more coz its DY should be higher
The only Q would then be, when to buy more

Best bang for value is at the bottom but who in the world has crystal balls to call a bottom OR a top?

hopefully as ammo is dry

arreit 0.88 now

arreit no power

will broke 52 week low

Sorry ar - pardon this barbarian if U guys are holding those 2 REITs

Economy down, no work, office close, more office place for rent.

A lot of office lots projects coming out.. A lot of office place for rent.

So in the end. A lot of office place for rent.

Rental slash.. Cheap cheap also come..

REITs got threaten already...

Dividend fall..

Lol.. I am just joking.. Even though economy downturn, there are contracts bind with the retailers on shop rental. So won't knn so fast.

Market down, good time for REITS really.

Truly possible. However if you're holding plantation REITs and also things like ARREIT at sales price (college/Uni is one big customer wor), should last the winds of change mar. Then as office glut knocks down office REITs prices and things stablizes, can go peck on it for some $ lor hehe. It depends when only right? That's the cycle of the market and life.

I'm looking to move into hospital and shopping REITs, currently ZERO (ignoring ARREIT's here/there a bit). All the while DY% tak shiok lar. Waiting for nice sales price for good DY%.

Sunreit is stable. Semua sendiri punya kang tau.. But yield tak boleh la

DY% skrang tak boleh, pi lepas bomb kabloey! + fear + blood, most probably boleh. M'sia boleh mar

Stabil tak guna bang, i mau returns $ and higher than 6% else tak de feel lar, cam awet yg i tak boleh under-stand lor

Unless you got it at IPO price of 0.88 which everybody who applied got. Same for CMMT where the IPO price was 0.98. See where it is now.

lol ystday tv3 news announced (promoting) reits dividend ranging from 6-8%

Be careful - the net yield is after minussing-out the witholding tax from the above levels. I believed it's 25% from the above.

witholding tax - 10%
Not 25%.

Yes, those published is gross yield, the net yield need to discount 10%.

Seems the prices are stabilizing and already on the uptrend.

There goes my hopes of AMFirst 1.12

Hi guys & gals.. i was wondering.. Do you guys consider the timing to buy REIT counters?

Eg: just like normal stocks need to look at charts to determine possibly the lowest point to enter to maximize gain.
