i've been around, just didnt touch reit for a while. 

Sorry Jordy,
Unfortunately can't join you tomorrow.
I don't go back that often. Maybe once a month.
G'luck with the survey. Cheers mate

Different, even there is pandemic, it doesn't affect how well Alaqar will be doing, it may drive more business to hospital but for reit holder, you are renting the properties to hospital only, you don't participate in hospital's business.

Ok, fair enough, just to clear the air so that people won't be mis-understanding. 

Cheers.

OT a bit.

I understand some time back you expressed your interest  to invest in CHHB oil palm related investments.

Aren"t CHHB have  some similarity with Boustead one ?

Mind to share more.

It is one of the major advantage compared owning properties directly.

Beh syiok, then tomorrow can sell, and out and cash will be received after 3 days.

Is there something wrong with ARREIT. Its price stays so low even when all the REITS have gone up so much? Maybe investors are not confident with the either the quality of the management or the properties they are holding. Anyone has any idea?

Actually, the gearing of our local REITS are not that low either. That is why I have also considered investing in SREITs because for the same amount of risk, the returns are about 50% better for some of the Sreits. Cherroy mention the quality of the earnings (not depreciation) but I do not know what he means. Some of their reits are trading at much lower than NAV price. So, instead of being satisfied with the 10% yield in local reits, why not invest in sreits and get 13%-15% returns.

Yes, i agree about the liquidity part of REIT which is why i dump 2/3 of my portfolio into it. However sometimes it pays to diversify and try out new stuff which leads to CHGS. My reasons are

Advantages
1) Land price appreciation when it turns from forest land into palm oil plantation in Gua Musang.
2) First 3 years it takes for palm oil to mature, am getting 8% interest from CIMB
3) Yearly dividend at April depending on the palm oil price and land output.
4) Valid for 23 years. After that the tree is old and need to replant anyway... no juice liao
5) Seasoned management team

Disadvantage
1) Management fees (0.1%) + transfer fees.
2) Takes 3-4 months to sells land plots due to demand and may need to sell below market price.
(based on my colleague info who sold her land last month)
3) Minimum plot is 1/4 of acre
4) Fluctuating commodities prices can be a problem especially if there is a overproduction of palm oil.

Status
Now i get yearly 8% + land appreciation of 45% ( Bought at 5500, now valued at 8000) so it is a pretty good deal for me.
I am not promoting CHGS, do your own investment studies first. More info can be found here http://www.chgs.com.my/

Sorry, I am not clear on what you say. Are you saying the DPU is "artificially high" for the SREits because there was a bubble before collapse? So, you think the DPU for these Reits will come down and make yields lower?

i just got back to office to see also, see the volume..

throwing? Seems like somebody want to push up the price, one go sapu all unit from 1.80 to 1.84, amazing!
Hopefully after dividend distribution stay above RM 1.70 then private placement will be at good price 

Well, it's after dividend ex-date now right? Prices still aren't coming down. Darn.

does anyone here know when is the ex-date for hektar reits? thank you in advance.

Some REIT prices dropping a bit today. Will it continue dropping do you think?

How would you prove that you're a unitholder and how many units you hold if you just show up?

Any door gifts for attending?

What placement is that?  Sorry for the silly question as I have not been able to find time to follow in the last 1 year.                  Any report on the placement and what is the speculation on the price before and after?  AXREIT has always been my favourite but just can't find the right price to go in.  Sigh.

To be exact, private placement will dilute the EPS and potential DPU.

Share price won't be adjusted due to private placement just like what on right issue.

But whether the private placement will make the share price goes down in the market due to demand and supply issue, different story.

But one thing from private placement compared to right issue, existing shareholders don't need to fork out extra money and generally those receiving end or subscribe the private placement one is not intend to trade in market one.

Yes, number of share is increased, but KLSE won't be adjusting the share price or closing/opening price accordingly just like what right issue or ex-div does.

There is no price "diluted', but it will dilute the EPS as well as potential seller in the market (which private placement generally doesn't as explained earlier).

Aiyo, whats wrong with this dividend, 8 cents only, half of 1st interim . 

Tomorrow can throw  ald. 

That could be the reason the price drops.
Pity those who have been anticipating a good result, based on the profits projection.

Hm but share prices tend to rise when there is news of dividend payout, no ?

Just sold my Atrium shares. I thought I might as well realize my gains of 15.5% rather than wait for the measly dividend or for it to drop further. My original buying price was 0.65. If it drops back to that level, I might buy it again.

same here. my buying price was 0.61. might as well lock in profit first and buy back later at lower price. i sold also just now.
