No. Operating leverage is still huge and the deal cycle is just getting started. I also still like some REITs based on supply/demand…nobody’s build much for like 3 years and replacement costs have only increased. Obviously macro factors are huge here. If you think the economy goes down again then go buy gold and treasuries.
^ I like REITS too. Limited supply. Large amounts of cash, some of them throw off decent yield too.
I’ve been long REITs for a while now. I still like them but it’s getting trickier. As long as the cost of borrowing is low they should do well. Timing is everything.
I just thought more sensitivity to the market would be better than QQQQ or BRKB, wasn’t really calling a top or bottom. Depends on the OP’s holding period too. +1 on the REITs too. Traditionally they have a much lower correlation than more “standard” asset classes. Anyone know what’s up w/ the P/E of REITs? VNQ id at 42-ish. Does the market purely value these on a cash flow only basis? Current yield is 3.5; which makes sprices seem low.
