Tea with AK71: Removing AdSense from ASSI for now.

You might or might not notice that I have removed all the ad space for AdSense or Ads by Google from this blog.  This is because I have noticed multiple clicks on these ads from possibly the same source for several days now.

I understand from other bloggers that Google is quite strict in policing and weeding out fraud. Having multiple clicks within 1 minute from possibly a single IP address could quite possibly be classified as fraud. This could result in my AdSense account being terminated by Google.

Although I appreciate the support, I would like to appeal to readers who have been super supportive in clicking on the Ads by Google to refrain from the behaviour described.

Why am I taking action only now? I was wondering if it was an aberration but it seems to be an established pattern now. If it is apparent to an IT dinosaur like me, it would not escape an IT giant like Google.  So, I am suspending all ad space for AdSense or Ads by Google on this blog for the time being.

If you guys are worried about a loss of income for ASSI, just visit my other sponsors, Ads by Nuffnang. Also, give my ZUJI banners a chance if you are planning to travel and I would get a small commission if you find a good deal.

Of course, you could also choose to contribute some money if you really like what ASSI is doing. A $15 donation is equivalent to 50c a day for a month or you could think of it as 10c a day for 5 months! Haha. ;-p

Thank you and have a great weekend. :-)

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT and First REIT.

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT
I remember how this REIT suffered from weakness in price before it went CD and some who got their buy queues filled at 21.5c were worried instead of happy. I guess they should be happy now since they would be receiving the income distribution of 0.51c per unit on 15 March and saw how the REIT's unit price held firm in a sea of red as stocks were sold down this week. I am happy too. Unless there are definite signs from the technicals that things have turned bearish, buying more on weakness cannot be too far wrong.

FIRST REIT
This REIT broke its immediate support at 75c decisively today and on higher volume. Hitting a low of 73.5c before closing at 74c, we could see its price weaken further as the MFI looks set to form a lower low. Looking at the weekly chart, the longer term uptrend is intact but the rising 20wMA is approximating 72c and if selling pressure were to intensify, we could see 72c tested eventually.
