REITs Still a Good Investment Opportunity

by creitadmin on December 15, 2008

While the benchmark stock index for Canadian REITs has fallen dramatically in 2008 many investment advisors are suggesting that they may provide a good purchase value. Rob Carrick of the Globe and Mail in his article of December 6th, 2008 REITs Battered Down to Eyecatching Levels suggests that the drop in stock value does not accurately represent a loss in value of the larger Canadian RIETs. This claim is supported by Royal Host REIT’s announcement of a special distribution on December 31, 2008. The distribuition is demonstrative of the REIT’s successful performance in 2008.

However, First Industrial, after the resignation of it’s longtime CEO, has also announced a lay off of 120 employees to reduce costs.  These factors all contributed to a rise in their stock value.
