REIT trading maybe possible but not every time boleh

Don't trade and hope to win peanuts...
This is not a long term winning strategy....
REITS stocks can go down one.....

You want to play REITS.... be a dividend collector lor.....

Sunreit i still hv some left. Waiting to dispose in next few days before ex div.

TS should consider to open V8 thread now as it been 3k post

erm.. I only do that with Reits.

i only check once in few hours.If really the 100 units done .. then I normally will add . Unless really busy and after closing only get 100 units.. then just pay the RM8.00 brokerage. Its not an issue.

Give untie a break lah you all. She will find her own way which is the best trading method. In stock market, everybody have to pay tuition fee in order to learn. I have never seen a stock market investor always win one....

Got think about it.. but in the end did not sign up. Dont like it.. too many fees...and confusing setup 

Dividend yield comprises of 2 components, share price and annual dividend.
Hektar in 2016 :

Price : 1.51
DPU : 10.50
DY : 6.95%

Hektar in 2019

Price : 1.01
DPU (using 2018 as reference) : 9.01
DY : 8.9%

The high dividend yield currently is due to massive drop in share price.   



The reason of the share price decline? A declining DPU.
The reason of declining DPU ? Portfolio of properties not performing well.

When choosing a REIT, we can't simply look at yield alone. REIT price is highly correlated to its DPU. A good REIT is those with stable long term income in terms of ability to lease / rent out.
Those REIT with stable DPU generally performing well even with today's roller coster market.

thanks! How do you get this chart? I can't see this chart on my platform.

Doesn't need advanced charting skills to spot there is something "unusual" around May 2017 right 

0% as of now 

These are my top 10 holdings

so IBG went up to 2.08 while the rest stopped climbing. is anyone able to explain?

Like to make one comment here : one thing abt focussing on dividend-investing is, one should not solely look at the dividend collected, one should also be defensive in the dividend stocks that one chooses to invest in. I noticed some dividend-investing bloggers would mention they are collecting so much and so much of dividend for a particular period, monthly or quarterly, but they would never mention if the dividend stocks they are holding are at losing positions or not.

I do understand the fact that one has NOT lost yet until one has sold, but wouldn't it be better if the dividend stocks are at winning positions, and the higher the current price the stock is at compared to the investor's holding price, the larger the margin-of-safety the investor is enjoying ?

Isn't this 'safety' critical for a dividend-investor ? What's the point of earing ots of dividend over a period, but ultimately losing it all in a 'nett sense' if the counter gets wiped out ?

Another comment I'd like to make is : using gearing to buy dividend stocks in order to to earn the 'differential dividend', ie dividend earned minussing interest and other expenses paid out to the loan-provider. In today's volatile environment, is this safe anymore ?

Is there safety here to justify this type of risk-taking, especially by a risk-averse dividend investor ? Or a retiree ?

Shouldn't we be using our own funds to invest as a risk-averse dividend-investor ? Using borrowed funds to invest for dividend equivalent to a capital-gain investor who has a higher risk-appetite ?

Bro,... emm, thank you for agreeing with me,... BUT,.. emm,... I must say DW did list down his dividend stock holdings and I did see they are all in the green, with better margin-of-safety than mine in some counters.

I bought many of my counters prior to the GFC in 2008/9, but later had to take profit because the counters started to fall in quality,... egs Singpost, Starhub and First REIT,... After selling-off these counters, I re-entered into the current ctrs I'm holding, but I became a 'late-enterer' then.

I saw many other dividend bloggers in SG not declaring their stock positions, hence, there is no complete information as to whether they are in the green in their dividend stocks.

Sure bro,...

Perhaps DW could reply with his (your) opinions over mine over at the SREITs thread if so,... Thank you,....

I don't mind the "gloating" . I treat it like a good inspiration story thing. But this being internet forum, I never take everything posted too seriously.

But definitrly on the wrong thread.
