My last ARREIT lots bought @ 8.45-8.5 in June 2010. However, during that time no news. Now ARREIT got in the limelite so I think it should still keep above 0.88 for some time until the next big REIT comes along.

Great to know that there are people out there who are willing to sacrifice for the benefit of making my REIT portfolio look good

Peace bro

Today close at 0.91. More upside ?

I think for most reit, private placement is preferred first. Only if they cannot get, then they will go through rights issues or other means. Through private placement, the reit can also do a win-win deal e.g. injection of private placement via swap for equity. I daresay going the rights issue way might be more costly for them and takes sometime to come about. Furthermore, they cannot guarantee 100% subscription. Maybe some sifu can comment.

eh? Here's a shocker There no such thing as a free lunch

Personally for me, I believe that REIT would only give you RI (BI.. I m not too sure) if they are seriously in need of cash because they are overleveraged. There are precedent of this happening in Singapore REIT. I remembered that last year ASCENDAS Reit had a 1-15 RI. I believe they did that to overcome some serious capital refinancing problems caused by the financial crisis.

Here's a link on rights issue -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights_issue
particularly ....
"Companies usually opt for a rights issue either when having problems raising capital through traditional means or to avoid interest charges on loans"

so RI not necessarily a good thing.

IMHO, I think another plus for stocks like CMMT/SUNREIT would be its comparatively higher trade volume because of their size. Means that if one want a more liquid REIT don't mind sacrificing the net yield, these are the ones to go for.

To solve all argument, just buy keep for one year and find out

STAREIT is the slowest non-moving REIT in my portfolio. Bought @ 0.86 in Dec 2009. Today also still 0.86. Meanwhile, other REITs had move some. Not saying that its bad, dividend is ok. The almost non-existent news about new property injection etc is not doing it any good. However, since I am already in, I will keep it and hope for some good news soon

Unless of course, if pre-arranged by your parents

ihatework,
Maybe I suggest you go through all the REITs in Malaysia by reading their business & history. (Do some homework)
Then pick one to your liking.

You may also pick the one with highest yield today, however, as usual it doesnt guarantee that it will be top yielding next month. Happy REITING..

Same case there for the guy waiting for the future wife to appear

Can hope for reduction instead of total abolish ?

According http://mreit.reitdata.com, yield is around 7.31%. However, today's MBB report on QCAPITA, I saw that the projected STARREIT FY11 yield at 11.6% Dunno how they project like that

Yes. I notice that today REITs are up a lot. Should have top up some yesterday.

Your calculations means 14% p.a. not 7%.
Yield calculation are an annual thing. So usually, if div is given twice a year. Its probably 3.5% each time. (so whole year = 3.5% + 3.5% = 7 %)
