I wanna own Sri Perdana, can kick out troublesome PM anytime I want

I'm waiting for my bonus to put into REITs

Wait for few more days. Its normal

Wait for it. Me using MBB, sometimes will delay for few days. Have not received my STARREIT, SUNREIT also

For premium malls like pyramid, pavilion and midv, the queue for tenancy is more than 1km......one go another will come in. However, for office tenants, it is quite impossible for those big conglomerates like BMW, DHL to go bust. There is a chance, but quite remote

True. There are so many external factors to consider. That's why it is called investments with calculated risks. You can gain or lose

Maybe try to wait after the election to enter....since you've waited until now...a mth or two won't make much difference

I think there is a misalign on why we invest in REITs. Priority is for the dividend and if as you have pointed out, the yield is still good, then we should hold on to QCAP. Capital gain is definitely not the main purpose

The reason why PAVREIT and SUNREIT is flying is because of perception that retail REITs are the best right now. Recession-proof. In a sense it is true.
However, if you bought in QCAP early, you should keep them also for the dividend yield. If you sell and buy PAVREIT/SUNREIT/AXISREIT at this point of time means you're going purely for capital gain alone coz the price is massively inflated with low dividend yields.

Its a choice and as the other person puts it, only a crystal ball can tell the outcome

Agreed but only when recession hits then only we can see what will truly happen. Not until then. So every individual should just continue to invest based on their leverage and appetite for risk-taking. One individual is definitely different from another individual yet both can't say for a fact that the other is wrong

True but we have new boys in town..SUNREIT and PAVREIT......need to truly gauge their strength when recession hits..only then will be economic data for reference

I heard the MRT construction is taking a toll on Sg Wang. It is becoming less attractive to shop there already

Guess so. Sg Wang is gonna join the ranks of Imbi Plaza, BB Plaza soon

Everyone thinks the REITs prices will fall so everyone acted the opposite...that's why it didn't

Planning to ditch those low yields REITs first like SUNREIT

Will only ditch if breach 1.70 though

After reading thru here, considering to dump my STAREIT too

SUNREIT is getting much more attractive now

I'm piling up SUNREIT definitely

I get the same feeling too. I understand that buying REITs is for dividends but as a "part-time" investor, we more or less also concern about capital depreciation. End of the day, it still affects our hard earn money and I believe everyone should have this concern as well (unless you're investing to lose money). For me, if there are depreciation of the capital, usually will average down but there will be a cut-off point. I will only do thrice because sometimes stock trading depends on the big kahunas. If they keep on dumping there is no way we can continue to average down. At that point of time I'll just stop and hold (coz I also don't like the feeling of losing money by force sell too).

A good thing about REITs (I hope), sooner or later the price will jump up to a comfortable level too. My take is, continue to hold if you're able to and if not, only sell. If a person laments that he could have put the money in a different stock other than REITs then he is not suitable to be a REITs investor. What I do is I segregate my total of money for investment into 2 portions. One for REITs and the other for other stocks (but I still stick to properties, not sure why..hehe)

Just my take. Any feedback to my approach to fine tune it would be appreciated
