All investments carry risk and it is important to understand them. The current global situation of high inflation and rising interest rates would be the most obvious. It is causing the stock and bond markets to fall. Of course REITs are not immune to this sell-off and the price of all 7 REITs are down.
I have nothing against traders but making money by continuously buying and selling stocks is simply not for me. As with common stocks, one can also trade REITs. But I prefer investing in REITs and holding on to them for a long time. All the while collecting the quarterly dividends like clockwork.
