is about malaysia reits.

never always trust so much over the analyst. If they can make big buck, they wont be sitting here and do future analyst.

Like what it said,

Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.

today reits not so good. mostly red 

I personally think that at current pricing of reit, the room of capital gain is rather limited.

From experience, there is no such thing of recession proof. In theory sound perfect.

But if recession does hit, just matter of degree being impacted.
Even the retail reit is not being hit by recession (due to lease signed), but due to overall market sentiment, price may dip as well.
As it is very seldom to see overall market dipping, while a stock is not (yes, it could dip less). Market move up and down mostly together just differ in more and less.

They may be so called "recession proof" but upside also limited, as rental/lease won't increase dramatically even though economy is booming, as if economy is booming, interest rate may rise as well, which high interest rate may make reit looks less attractive.
Those retail reits are flying, another reason, they are large cap, with liquidity whereby fund manager, insurance fund, fixed income fund manager can buy into it, as a platform to provide fixed income to the fund.

Just curious. If say there is a property bubble and property price drops, would reit price also drop since REIT is dependant on rental?

axis still going up... 3.88!

and amanahraya suddenly goes from 0.93-0.94 to 1.01 - what's happening??

big retail reits, igb, pav, starhill - all seem so subdued, low yield, like no future... only sunreit moving up.

bond yield has been falling in recent days.
lets see what happen next. If continues dropping, REIT's buyers will come back.
only time will tell.

They could be biased...

a valid question at this time when the "crash" is taking or has taken place.

but how does one explain the high prices before that, i.e. say mgs was around 3.2 or 3.5%, yet those prices stubbornly go up?

or this, like gold and everything else, has more to do with sentiments that will stablize after a while, i.e. herd mentality?

i plan to invest in REITS. never play stock before.. and seems this is good.. got a question

is there any requirement for you to qualify for the dividend (beside the need to own the stock). example: payout announce on 3 july 2013.. if i just bought the stock 4 days ago.. will i be entitle for it?

ok i look at an example announcement on 16 july. the ex date is 30 july. so after the announcement i can buy the stock and they will pay me the dividend on 30 july?

err... no.

on ex date. it's over, you won't get the div.

you must buy it before ex-date, up to and incl the day before ex-date.

Yo peeps!

As mentioned in medias, bond is paying higher interest rates to close the gap between bond and REIT which also makes REIT lose its attractiveness to investors.

Do you guys have any idea where can we buy these bonds as a private investor?
Thanks
