I guess this is why S-REITs trade at a premium to take into account the risk involved. This is unlike US REITs which tend to be larger and around for much longer. Moreover, USA is a super-power while Singapore is a little red dot haha !

Still beats the 7 to 9% yield from the US REITs at the time. ;p<br /><br /><a href="http://singaporeanstocksinvestor.blogspot.com/2010/03/first-reit-this-one-is-for-keeps.html" rel="nofollow">First REIT: This one is for keeps.</a><AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-11865828801112978722010-12-15T00:18:36.153+08:002010-12-15T00:18:36.153+08:00Thanks AK for the book recommendations, I'll c...Thanks AK for the book recommendations, I'll check them out.
