  • End Of The mREIT Honeymoon? [View article]
    Simple fact - mREITs are the riskiest asset class around. I have mentioned on many occasions the dangers of "investing" in these. Most have been reducing dividends for a number of quarters now and I expect it will continue.

    As I have repeated several times - revisit 2008 and review what happened to the mREITs.

  • MLPs - How To Start A Bubble [View article]
    The author's lack of knowledge relative to KMI and LNCO not being MLPs kind of says it all.

    Thanks. Saw KFN's earnings release this morning. Not really impressive, particularly the slight decline in BV.

    It is hard to find a driller without a heavy debt load. Look at how well SDRL is doing.

    Actually up $.44.

    Think it is just a good company whose price has been depressed of late.

    Could you provide a link to the GASS dividend. The last $.188 dividend I see is 2009.

  • Chasing Dividend Yield For Protection Is A Fool's Errand [View article]
    Thanks for the article.

    Investors putting their money into quality mid-stream MLPs and eREITs with demonstrated increasing FFO are not yield chasers. You can check the historic performance of both categories.

    mREITs are another thing entirely. Anyone who lived through the market downturn of 2008-2009 can verify that investing in these is true "yield chasing".

    Having been investing in MLPs for eight years I can attest to their performance, increasing distributions and their place in any portfolio.
