wow 1 bux, that cheap.. too bad i went into stocks/REIT late.. else i could be holding tons of REIT stocks

Take it from someone who start stock/REIT during that time. You can feel the fear of investing. Everyone was running out of the market & your relatives, friends & neighbours are telling you don't touch stocks.

In hind sight, you can always say that if I had invest during that time, I will be rich. But during the actual time, you are thinking, will it go down another 10% the next day.

Needless to say, I bought but didnt dare buy a lot.

yeah true.. but then there is a limit abt hw low it can go...

apart from that REIT i dont think can bankrupt.. unlike other normal stocks.. as
its a sort of TRUST FUND...

There are risks. Property bubbles popping can bring REITs to its knees especially if they have high gearing.

Googled "REIT Bankruptcy" and got the following links for your reality check :-

For overseas reit, it did.
Some reit under high leveraged one, failed to get refinancing, need to fire-sale their properties at the wrong time, and liquidating.

Yes, if reit is low or no leverage, it won't and shouldn't bankrupt, but no reit can perform well without some sort of leverage especially during good time.
Without some leverage, reit may only can give you 3-4% only. You want this kind of yield?

There is a lot of fear when it reached 1.00.
Even I managed to buy some at 1.00 and queued somemore at 0.99, 0.98 etc, I still expected it may go lower than 0.90.

It is easier when look back, but on real time or with it happening in front on your face, and worldwide is crashing, fear of severe recession, deflation, which corporate may close shop etc. so many negative issue around, your "feel" and sentiment is different.

At that time, even convert some Rm to AUD only Rm2.30-2.40.

It is always easier when look back but not the case when it is happening real time.

Just like Axreit now is RM2.05, should buy or sell?
Me also don't know.

yeah i know what you mean... i'm trading in something else, that one also can commit suicide at times especially when Greece say wanna pokai ...
and euro went tumbling down like stones...

some say should buy as they are expanding their portfolio, but i read some blog somewhere..
they say need to see the PE ratio, to know its worth...

There are some REIT's out there with high dividend and low gearing. Further more they are selling at discount to NTA value. So not only highly leverage REIT's is able to give the best yield, but they can give the best growth.

so whats on yr portfolio? care to share so at least we know what to pick....

Guys, any papers on AXREIT? Haven't seen one for quite some time.

If got, pls post ya!

There are two, few pages back.

anyone got annual report from stareit? Nothing special on it

hw will the uptake be next year.. since they planning to propose this

The chance is pretty low.
The reit industry has been lobbying this for years now.

It is very hard to Mreit to compete with SgReit, with the difference between tax rate.

Jordy, not for me. for my friend - he's a newbie REIT investor.
Me - I only hantam US Stocks..

how is US stock doing? i was thinking to start US stock too..but still inexperience on that..
