Hi all, I just want to share my two cents worth on the price moevement of REITs now. Based on my understanding, the average retail investor does not have much influence on the movement of share prices. Share prices move depending on the amount of money coming in or going out from investment funds. And investment funds move according to trends and needs.

Why is the cash dividend that I received on 7 June not reflected in this P/L analysis?

Seems like the big funds are almost done with their sell-off. The price can now slowly inch upwards.

It’s slowly inching up.

Seems like 1.25 is a strong base now. Will queue at 1.25 to accumulate more later this afternoon if it holds up.
What will you be doing?

Opened at 1.32 and within 15 min, the price rose back to 1.35. Looks like there is strong buying interest. This seems like a safe sign to accumulate.

I have two questions regarding the scrip dividend.
1) Can i opt for say 200 scrip dividends shares and the rest in cash? If yes, how do I indicate this in the email?
2) Will the scrip dividends shares be added onto my current share count in Moo Moo automatically?

I just bought some at 2.47 today. Just two months back I bought and sold some at around 2.90. And back then 2.85 was considered cheap already. How come the price has dipped so much?

I just bought some at 36.46 today. What are the short term, roughly 1.5 months prospects?

Do I need to convert my currency to USD to buy this share?

dydxequalszero OP 102918195 : That’s one way to look at it. But rate cuts are inevitable, now may be the time to accumulate and take dividends first. You never know when the rocket will takeoff.
dydxequalszero OP beaver Queen : Interest rates are cut only if inflation rates drop below a certain number. In the case of US Fed, they are looking at below 2% inflation. Currently it’s still at 2.6%. With high interest, people tend to spend less and inflation will slowly drop, so it’s just a matter of time. Be patient, the stock market is really a device to transfer wealth from impatient people to patient people. Nothing more than that. If you’re impatient and sell your shares at a low price tmr, and the share price rises next week,you have effectively transferred your money to the person who bought your shares. The total amount of money remains the same.
dydxequalszero OP 101699091 : Hi I do agree that most times we should have a cut loss point. But currently the REITs are really trading so low. All the 3 Mapletree trusts are trading below Covid levels with yields above 6 - 7%. At this juncture, the prices are really far too discounted already. No one knows where the true bottom is so for me personally selling now has more downside than upside. If I sell today, and it starts rebounding tmr, then I’ll lose out big time. Moreover, my Reits pay quarterly dividends. Based on my holdings, even if the share price doesn’t move, I’ll be able to collect $6000 in dividends from now till the end of the year. So it’s not to say I stand nothing to gain if I continue to hold.
dydxequalszero OP 101699091 : Hi, you must understand that investment funds cut losses because fund managers need to follow the crowd and account to their bosses. Moreover, like I said, when they lose money, it’s not their money, it’s their clients that lose money. It’s akin to them taking your money to the casino and playing. Their clients can’t control if they win or lose, but you can do so if you’re directly investing in the stocks.
dydxequalszero OP 101699091 : Hi thanks for your inputs. Maybe I’ll attach my current REITs holdings to better illustrate my strategy. I started to buy into REITs sometime in late April after I sold my DBS shares (which I must admit I regret doing so early). At that point I looked at the charts and saw that REITs have fallen about 15% since the start of the year and that the yields were around 7%. So I bought in. The week after I bought it actually rose quite a bit so I averaged up, but the tide turned and it started to move back downwards so I decided to start averaging down. This may seem like catching a falling knife but it aligns with my long term plan to have a steady income from dividends. And Mapletree REITs have actually been able to gradually grow their DPU over many years. So my intention is to hold these stocks for possibly the next 10 to 15 years. As of now, with a total input it 165 K, I’m only down $3690, and I’ve collected $1100 in dividends so far, so I’m just down $2590. To be honest, with just one good day, it can turn into a profit. And with about $3000 in dividends every 3 months, I’m quite confident my strategy will pay off in the long run. I don’t wish to get very rich from this, I just hope to get a steady income of $1 - 2 K per month to supplement my salary, that is more than enough for me.
