Saizen REIT: Golden crosses.

In technical analysis, some look out for the true golden cross which is the 100dMA crossing the 200dMA, going upwards. This is said to be more significant than the 20dMA or the 50dMA crossing the 200dMA as it signifies longer term strength in a counter's price moving upwards.

For Saizen REIT, the 100dMA seems on track to forming a golden cross with the 200dMA although it could be another couple of weeks before it is clearer. That there has been gradual accumulation since mid November 2010 is quite clear from the OBV. The MFI and RSI are above 50% but not overbought. Price could move higher in a nascent uptrend but it could be quite gradual as well.

S-REIT sector not attractive?

I read that JPMorgan says "valuations are no longer compelling as S-REITs are trading at a forward dividend yield of 6.0%, P/B of 1.1X and 7.5% premium to house NPV estimates."


JPMorgan singled out 2 REITs for comment:

Cuts CapitaCommercial Trust to Underweight vs Neutral on lack of growth, deteriorating portfolio quality and rich valuation. 
 

Cuts CapitaMall Trust to Neutral vs Overweight "as we believe that constant cash calls from the sector would put pressure on the stock."

I am vested in neither one. As with stocks, there will be better counters to be vested in and the ones to avoid. Broader strategy towards S-REITs stays the same for me. Stay vested in S-REITs with higher yields, trading at a discount to NAV and with relatively low gearing.
