One thought about REITS...since one primary reason for getting into REITs is the dividend yield, one should be careful to buy at the right time in the dividend payout cycle, right? For example, one of the REITs I would consider a buy paid out its dividend today, and you needed to be in the stock on March 24 to receive it. I'd have to see REIT share prices significantly going up to jump in immediately......just my opinion. Rande, can you let us know what rate of appreciation you are seeing in your REIT portfolio over the next month or so? I think that would be very instructive. Unfortunately have a very bad memory of the commercial real estate debacle that occurred in the early 1990s and lingered on for years. Not many people saw it coming, and they and entire institutions got wiped out. If I buy any REIT shares, tight stops will get placed.
