REITs ? Anyone invested in them.

I invest in the Vanguard REIT.

both of these should be considered as m-REIT instead.

Much higher return but riskier

Bump.

Many of these REIT vehicles are getting their ass kicked lately due to several reasons. ARR and AGNC tripped my level indicators I set months ago. If you're a gambler and want to try to catch a falling knife, watch the long tails on the daily and weekly candles for an indication how quickly these things are dumped and bought right back.

Out of the companies I've started following, O (Realty Income Corp) looks the strongest. Watch earnings next week on this one as it's gotten a little bubbly on a monthly basis. Doesn't mean it cannot rip to new highs, however.

Keep in mind I follow price action, not dividends as price means everything to me as a speculator.

the mREITs are getting hammered today. I added to NLY. It's been through thick and thin since the late 90s. Even during the housing bubble, it still continued to pay a dividend (although not a great one).

Ugly chart on the reits

I guess:

check out life science reits

Quote from SP33DFR34K : Ugly chart on the reits I guess:

NLY board was smart.... they have a lot of MBS's on the books that are now worth more, with stock that's worth less so they instituted a buyback under book value of shares. Stock is liking that today

I'm a little confused about why buybacks helped the stock price today. Can you (or anyone) explain that to me or point me towards something that does explain why?

From Wikipedia [wikipedia.org],

1. Less stock available to the public, increasing the earnings per share
2. Psychologically, better than raising a dividend then having to drop it later.
3. Companies believes its undervalue, so take advantage of the lower share price
4. Ensures executives meets EPS targets.
5. Makes takeover less possible

So 3/5 are positive for stockholders. 1 is mixed. 1 is negative.

I'll wait for the 3x Leverage . I think since its so new, I would give it some time in the market to see how things go first.
