What Did You Buy Today?

I am trying to understand them more thoroughly. As I am sure you are aware, it's a completely different game. You can;t evaluate them like a DGI stock, or even an ordinary growth stock. Many classifications of REITs are required to distribute 90% of profits by law. That is why the Divs are crazy good. EPS doesn't really matter much as long as they can pay the dividend and operating expenses. If they want to truly grow they leverage. The quality REITs are well managed and know what they can get by with in a downturn. The true gambles over-leveraged and offer an insane dividend you'll surely give back in share price if you are caught holding in a real estate downturn. I am looking for higher div REITs that maintained a somewhat stable SP. I'll share my high div port when it's close to assembled. It won't be a large percentage of my port for sure. The great REITs you can buy and forget "like O" are clearly overvalued now. That buying opportunity will come with patience.
