Yes. Can't agree with you more. I bought some TM also during that time. It gave me 80% gains. I also got THPLANT which give me -13%. However, stocks are more volatile. They hit higher highs & lower lows compare to REITs. Probably if I have invested more non-REIT stocks, I would not have been sleeping easy this year. 
To each his own... No wrong or right.
I'll have to say REIT's gain is silent To each his own... No wrong or right.
I bought ATRIUM back in April when they were having issues with CEVA, at a cheap price of 0.62. I just put it one side and didn't expect it to regain strength by end of the year, and I sold it off at 0.92, that's a gain of ~49%!
Of course, during this period I've got GENTING which made a gain of ~85%, HUAAN ~140%, EFFICEN ~50%, to name a few, all these had holding time much shorter than my REIT with better gain.
I would say, buy REIT at the right time to diversify your portfolio, and you certainly will be rewarded, silently.
Cheers.
