RTU has that falling knife look. Is your health insurance paid up and does it cover stitches? stockcharts.com[w,a]daclyiay[db][pb50!b20!f][vc60][iut!Lah10,30,5!Lc20]&pref=G

re RTU - quite a few REIT funds area trading around 15% discount to NAV. Do you realize that most of the REIT funds boost their yield with a 50% (based on equity) leverage? This really hurts when the price of the underlying assets goes down. I would only consider buying a Closed end investment fund when i like the underlying assets. REITS had a fantastic run until; recently and trade at very rich valuations still. They would need to come down a lot (15-20% based on current valuation) before I would be interested.
