Sorry I wasn't more clear - [REIT buyers] Push the yield on [REITs] under 6% - in this case the US REITs mentioned in the .pdf file. Look the the top section, left side. Notice the dividend levels drop over time, and there are a number of years with 20-25% return on the prices. Investors like the dividend and keep buying the stock and/or not selling. The price keeps going up, the yield keeps going down. This happend to US REITs. It has not happend to Canadian REITs - maybe there's an assumption the CDN will drop vs. the USD, or maybe higher Canadian interest rates help.
