In a side note, the closed-end REIT fund (RQI) I purchased on March 7 of this year is up 19% including dividends. (14% price gain, 5% dividends, in 7 months).
Most of the gain occured in the last 3 months as the it became clear to the market that the FED was going to take its foot off the brakes and bonds started rallying.
It currently is paying a dividend of 7%, so maybe more upside until bonds reverse ???
