Real estate investment trust
Article Abstract:
Rising short- and long-term interest rates and the linkage to debt markets are two of the major factors dominating real estate investment trusts (REITs) in late 1999 and early 2000. Stocks in the REIT industry are also being adversely affected by the Internet's impact on the retail industry. Most of these stocks are not timely for the year 2000 and investors need to consider only the safest issues.

Article Abstract:
The slow interest rate climb in late 1998 and early 1999 has not added to the modest rally in real estate investment trust (reit) stocks during the 1st qtr of 1999. The move away from mid- and small-cap stocks into large-cap stocks, along with the illiquid nature of reit stocks are some of the factors which have added to the weakness, as well. There are several reit stocks which investors can consider for commitment, but those stocks with a margin of dividend safety, good financial underpinnings and track records, and a long business history are best.

Article Abstract:
Rising interest rates in 1998 and 1999 have hurt the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry, as REITs have less income appeal and higher rates increase the cost of doing business. However, the more robust REITs have the opportunity to expand as others divest themselves of poorly performing properties and shrink their asset bases. These stocks are not timely in 1999 and could prove to be defensive in a market correction.
