    Consider myself and independent voter - but registered Dem. I'm not sure why
    Democrats (liberals - or whatever the current nom de plume) are so interested in
    raising capital gains....???? As a middle class retiree, and one who is responsible for our retirement portfolio, those lower cap gains taxes are keeping us alive. And the last I've
    heard, there's a lot of us keeping this economy moving - even considering that it might be on slow idle.

    What really cracked me up was, Obama ripping into the deficit and with the same breath calling for another stimulus package. Go figure! Reply

    Ah, the budget thing. On the one hand, the deficit is about 3% of GDP - worse than recent years, but OK by historical and international standards. As for thet politics of it, forget McCain's tax cuts. That would take agreement by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, both of whom would like higher capital gains taxes, an end to the Social Security tax limit, and elimination of the favorable rates for dividends and capital gains. Health care is the issue where fiscal prudence will run into politcs, and that's not a battle that prudence is likely to win if the liberal Dems control both houses and the presidency. Reply

    Those are some pretty good stocks out there for which I have never heard anything yet.

    stc1,

    Nobody would take your comments seriously unless you provide some hard data evidence that David Powell's calculation data is wrong. You might be correct, but please next time you criticize something, please have your backup ready.

    Guliamo,

    What you are saying about RYN is generally correct. It doesn't have to chop down trees if it doesn't like the price. But how else is the company going to be able to generate the cashflow to pay dividends to shareholders?

    the reit divy play is getting pretty old and risky when you consider the magic math needed to justify the huge debts...... if youre gonna play with high risk,,,,,,,,,DHY @ $3.50 paying 11% is a less risky play. been kicking old and stagnant DVY's butt since $70 Reply

    Rayonier is a timberland company that owns 10's of thousands of would land acres. They chop down a few acres, then move to the next in a cycle that allows re-growth. No need to explain how important wood is to many aspects of our life but wood is also good as an investment and a great hedge against a volatile market. If Rayonier doesn't like the current price it's offered for it's wood, it simply doesn't have to chop any - the inventory keeps growing, literally, on the tree - so no warehousing costs and no depreciation. Since the housing slowdown, RYN has been beaten up with the rest of the field, but not for a good reason. So if you are looking for a great way to play it solid and get a 4.6% dividend while you're doing it, Rayonier is the play for you. Reply

    Also, I'm fairly certain your calc's for EPR, ARE, AMB and SLG are wrong, as their div's haven't grown by those percentages. All four came public in 1997, so I'm guessing you used their partial div's for the year for your base to calc div growth. AIV is also wrong; I don't know where your numbers are coming from. But hey, I tentatively think that the remaining five might be right! Just follow this simple rule: GGP should always come out #1 in historical dividend growth among REITs. If you get another result, your looking at the wrong info.

    Long ARE, EPR, GGP & O

    This article needs a bit more homework. GTY and RYN weren't REITs for the entirety of your timeframe, so their dividend growth is skewed upward by their REIT conversion. PEI's div growth doesn't reflect the fact that the company foundered through most of the 90's and had to cut its dividend and restructure through a backdoor UPREIT (in 1997) before starting to grow again. PSA's div growth is skewed by some of its formation transactions. Reply

    You might take a look at SNH & HCN for healthcare REIT choices. Also O for good old consistant income. Reply
