@gutcheck A few years ago. Not recently.

EQR's share price has continued to fall from its Feb 15th high since this announcement.

@Ghentite The market hates reits at the moment.

@ccking3 I'm going to wait a few more days before averaging down on my EQR position.

My thanks for the 6% dividend increase to Chair Sam Zell and EQR management from this grateful, long-time shareholder for the vote of confidence in EQR in light of ALL current circumstances.

A 6% raise. A beaten down price the last year or so.

Looking like a great time to add.
It may even go lower from here. Would be happy to add even more.

EQR holders are feeling safe about their investment, today.

Ka-ching. Nice move by a well run company. AVB please take note.

In this economy, 6% is very nice.
