Time files as half a year of precious time has gone. This year, the U.S Fed has been raising interest rates, impacting the prices of REITs. On a positive note, there are opportunities as prices of REITs dipped slightly. It is unclear whether REITs can maintain their full year DPU but we shall monitor and see over the next few quarters.
Recently, I received my performance bonus at work. I have expected a lower payout as compared to last year. This is the first year I am on the role of a manager and I am glad I did well but did not exceed the expectations of my company. As a result of lower payout, I need to be cautious in deploying my cash into stock investments.
