the capriciousness of usa management in general of willy nilly cutting dividends to conserve cash I find dismaying and can only explain in terms of the way management sees shareholders, as a source of funds rather than as owners. I think that until shareholders become more active this will continue to be a problem. It sounds like this decision to pay stock dividends on reits will exert downward pressure on reit share prices for the reasons you gave for selling. seems unusual though that you would have to pay taxes on a stock dividend.
