Manager's fee increased, they will work harder to gain even more commission. Their earnings is tied to the portfolio value, so in other words, we will gain too if they want to gain more.

holybo,

Any online stock broker allows you to transact REITs, just like any other stocks.

maxsteel2001us,

Do you seriously think anybody with large holdings would tell you how many units they own?

FY10 means Financial Year 2010.

learn2earn8,

1. With savings of RM50k, I don't think you have a lot of property choices (e.g. the maximum you can go for is a RM250k property).
2. I personally do not like debts. Any investments with debts will erode my profit. If I want to buy anything, I prefer cash. I don't even use credit cards because it is a form of debt.
3. Buying properties is a long-term commitment (when I say long-term, it is too long). Anything could happen in that 15-20 years.

This is my own opinion. So you be the judge.

panasonic88,

It is not a good idea to buy REITs in the industry you already own. You should not diversify the companies, but diversify the industry.

Yes Pana-jie, reallyyyyyyyyyyy long time no see eh. Been working whole day and night until I have no time to come and post here. Well, I am not exactly RK's follower, just "borrowing" his ESBI quadrants because I have to keep reminding myself that I have to walk that dreaded journey to be rich

I am actually WB's follower, where I only buy if the shares get within my risk tolerance. That is why I don't get into any debts.

How has your portfolio been doing? Still holding on to your AXREIT?

Pana-jie,

I thought you had AXREIT before? Or did I remember wrongly? So are you buying into bluechips now?

In my basket, I still have my AXREIT and ATRIUM. I have added AMFIRST recently. Both have been doing very well, but AMFIRST still needs some time to pick up. Well, I still have time to wait for AMFIRST to grow as there is still some potential.

Pana-jie,

Easy, just get a rich husband. Then you can have few houses already

OT: By the way, I noticed you are no longer a mod. Why la? More commitments now?

I have unloaded ALL of my holdings in AXREIT at 2.70

yok70,

Because my profit has reached 106%, so I should lock it in already. Futhermore, I feel it is a little overpriced at current value, so it is time to be careful.

CP88,

Sorry for the wrong term used. I should say my capital appreciation is 106%. I think my net profit is about 130% including dividends.

CP88,

I'm using a junk of the sale of AXREIT to play a different investment, buying a tractor (backhoe) I am considering to utilise the rest to buy aggressive stocks. I still have my ATRIUM and AMFIRST, so that should be enough dividend stock for me at the moment.

Thanks pana-jie. I bought end of 2008 and beginning of 2009 in 2 tranches

I have not found any interesting stocks to get now. If I can't find any, then I might as well invest the rest of the money into my business for marketing purposes. Want to join me in searching for the right aggressive stocks?

Correction. I've sold off AXREIT liao, so I'm semi-retired. Now looking to sell off ATRIUM also. Just waiting for a good time. Probably when it hits 1.20

Sold out AXREIT already now only increase their DPU

okyjace,

Have you included any dividends paid during the year? If you did, I don't think the figure would be so little.

I think this time around AMFIRST should announce their dividend. They missed out half-yearly pay out last quarter if I'm not mistaken. That should be because of their early payout due to the enlargement of share capital?

Cherroy would you like to clarify this?

Now 1 lot = 100 units
Last time 1 lot = 1000 units
DPU (dividend per unit) = DPS (dividend per share)

river.sand,

The system will match the lowest sell queue first. It will not just spike because people key in wrong price.

dewVP,

Buy unit trust only if you have no experience and no time to monitor. If you want to maximise your profit, buy the REIT directly.
