Well, I havent invested in REITS or for yield historically. The reason I bought FSP was the repeat insider buying. That suggests they know more about the future outlook than I do. For the most part, Im not finding much stuff that yields 6+% that also has had nice clusters of insider buying. Many of the REITS have had insider selling. Also remember that FSP owns their properties outright with no permanent mortgage debt. That should make it somewhat less volatile than the typical more leveraged REIT. I do believe their dividend payout is solid and not in danger of being lowered. The canadian trusts are above my level of competence, the taxing issues are bothersome and I cant track insider buying/selling.
