all in all, REIT performance is directly linked to property industry. it can be seen as a small (or cheaper) exposure to property investment. but the recent listing of the REITs such as the suncity did not speak well for the market expectations. any comments?

i think that the REITs are really meant for market play. i wont touch it. CIMB throws out 4 REITs. wow, what a timing for the trading volume. Property? not my cup of tea. just my humble opinion.

CIMB issued 4 callable bull for trading of callable bull/bear contracts (CBBC). Msia becomes the 1st nation in Asia in such trading. Airasia,
gamuda, Genting and cheating Bjcorp. market appeared to be interested at these for day 1 on friday.

it was claimed that the Gamuda BB contract attracted much intereset for its potential exposure to the NEP particularly at the 'malaysia non-affordable' MRT and LCCT projects. oh ....

oooppps, i think i am in the wrong blog section.

REITS are not gambling tools.

agree agree. i guess they are for 'loaded' people with sapre money, for those that have patience and those whom are prudent or rational in investment. good job to remind us here.

seriously and frankly, i am not in these groups.

any short term investment ideas besides the REITs (or unit trusts)?
