I dont know how much more they might go down but one full year of punishing should be just about enough. I've never invested in REITs and would greatly appreciate your insight and experience. Some of the names I am looking at are OHI, HCP and VTR. Thanks a lot!
All great picks, jim. Are you only interested in healthcare REITs? Theres a lot of different subsectors to consider, but healthcare REITs are definitely one of my fav.
In healthcare REIT sector - HCN is a also a good play. I wrote dividend stock analysis articles a few months ago on the four companies.
Also, this Sector Overview article on my blog should help shed some light on the overall sector.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.
ps: I am long OHI & VTR (also hold CCP shares that were recently spun off from VTR)
