WAIT

IYR vs. XRE Totally different products because of the country, given XRE is Canada and IYR is the US. XRE top 31% investments are in retail. IYR has only 9% retail. For residential, it's 25% XRE and only 15% IYR. Largest holding in IYR is AMT. IYR is more diversified, less exposed to retail which is a good thing. Safer place to be at this time is IYR. REITs usually do well from March to October, but this might start earlier this earlier, especially if markets turn down. Wait until February/March.

PARTIAL SELL

Makes up 68% in a portfolio. Interest rates helped this. Bring it way down. IYR is okay, but it will flatten out after a serious move up since 2010. If you hold this in a taxable account, reduce your holding to 30% and look at investing in international markets. 68% is way way too much. Be careful.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 30/18, Up 15%) Long duration asset like real estate that responds the best when interest rates drop. Has been trimming, but still owns.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 30/18 Up 4%) Since the correction in February, it has out-performed the S&P. This is a great global real estate holding.

TOP PICK

About a 4% yield. You are starting to see some pretty significant asset flows. It is a complementary asset to stock and bond portfolios. You are starting to see fund flows into this area.

HOLD

Historically REITs have done quite well in the summer. This one shows a nice upward trend and you are into a period of seasonal strength, which only lasts until the end of September. If you own the stock, continue to hold.

COMMENT

Dow Jones REIT. Very broad exposure to retail, office, multiple residential so you get a nice array geographically.
