5% CAPITAL GAIN.. only if sell. If not, only VIEW 5% GAIN.
Best is to find ways to increase DIVIDEND so, money can grow faster.

Do share here with us if you found any ways gems on high divvy or ways on increasing it!

During Peak period of REIT, 10Y MGS is just trading slightly below 3%... no it is still about 3.7-3.8% so another 20% to go...

5% dividend.. no problem... 5% capital gain... not so sure if it is sustainable.

So I missed the boat? Should I sell the REITs I bought in the last 1 year?
Stareit - I still records capital loss

i see myreits at this time just sideways or edging a touch lower.

as few foreign funds are buying mgs or reits, the yields or prices will neither fly nor dive, just hang around, boring...

no interest to buy more myreits but adding to sgreits!

My Stareit still in RED!

if can reach 3%, we huat loh!
but i no expect for that lah.
just wish 10yr MGS at 3.5%, reit's income increase by average 5% pa for the next 5 years. After that, if stay flat, i keep. If drop, can start selling and move to other investments.

sell now seems a little late as you are still in paper loss.
just close eyes and receive dividend. if 1 yr gives you 5%, 2 yrs gives 10% already. should be more than cover your paper loss right? and if you are lucky, after 2 years, maybe paper gain already.

Mine too and it plunges right after my bullets went in.... Like others said, waitin for div to compensate bk a little

Yokkie,

R u still in accumulation mode/ or trimming mode for your REITS?

"stop mode" for now. feel comfortable at currently around 30% on REIT with net yield 5.2-6.6% at current market price. If REIT rally, I may continue to cut more holdings on REITs with lower growth potential.
today just grabbed a little bit more Pavreit.

today 10-yr MGS yield dropped sharply to 3.65, inline with yesterday's US 10-yr bond's yield sharp drop. Hopefully can reach 3.2-3.3%.

US 10-yr bond yield 2.4x already....

Today MREITs still weak/quiet...expect some action tmrw?

not care tomorrow.
care next week, next month, even next year.

2.4%, when is MGS will drop..

just keep for the DIVIDEND. slowly but surely.
Anyway, the main objective in collecting REITS is for the dividend
Unless its a big amount and you want to cost in OPPORTUNITY COST...

Yes.

With any investment decisions, just think along this line...

"DO U HAVE OTHER BETTER ALTERNATIVES?"

If have, exit/shift
If dun have, hold, dun give a damn about paper gains/losses unless u need to sell the stock within next few years cos u retiring/gonna marry/etc
