I’ve heard over the years from a number of people that they don’t like reits and I’ve had some for a couple years now and they’ve got pretty good dividends but absolutely terrible returns on capitol. I think I’ll divest out of them where I can get a good dividend and more of a chance for capitol appreciation. Now, having said that, if interest rates still trend down, they may appreciate in stock price but I’ve waited long enough for that I think.
The REITs usually try to pay as much of their cashflow as possible in dividends, so there's not much left for re-investment. Add to that the high interest rates which hurt them on their loans, and the retail and office asset vacancies, and you have a problem. The lower interest rates will help them, definitely.
I look at some effects #interest rates, #uncertainty and #wars have on the #stock market
Generally you want to avoid speculation and wait to see the actual effects of the war or interest rates on the business' profits
Interest rates affect #bond value too
Don't panic when a new war starts - they happen all the time and hardly ever affect your investments half the world away
