Yes, it's pronounced "REET". My old law firm represented several REITs. It stands for "Real Estate Investment Trust". By law it's REQUIRED to spit out 90% of its taxable income as dividends.

They tend to pay good dividends that can sometimes approach 9 percent, but they're a stock so the actual stock price can fluctuate. The return isn't guaranteed.

I kind of like REITs as a relatively stable return with a high floor and low ceiling. When I'm retired, I'll probably put more of my money into them.

If there's something with a guaranteed 9 percent return out there, I'd put 100 percent of my money into it. Such a thing doesn't exist, at least not in theory.

There's nothing with a guaranteed 9% return, no question about that.

I've bought into one REIT. MPT, which is "Medical Properties Trust". I have indirect knowledge of their management, and have high hopes that the medical community can pay their rent regularly and won't default as often as, perhaps, other types of businesses. It's done well for me, spitting out the dividends and it's up 37% since I bought it in July 2017.

There are many others out there. They tend to focus, as MPT does, on a TYPE of real estate. If you have malls near you, it's likely one or more is owned by Simon Property Group -- which is a REIT that focuses on retail shopping centers.

Note that MPW's return dividend yield is apparently 5.57%, so nowhere near 9%.

This laundry list doesn't have many that are anywhere near 9%.

I've got some MPW and love it. It gives me a nice dividend and the stock goes up pretty consistently. I don't hit a home run with it, but I get singles and doubles every year. I keep increasing my holdings in it each year when I look around and don't find something better.

The person he is referencing is from Canada so I imagine REITs work a bit differently but I doubt there is any guaranteed 9% return. It's probably some historical yield + avg share price increase number.

Looks like it hit my mark. Fun little run, but I don't think I'll get back in.

i've had cars that depreciated slower than this piece of shit ching chong stock

[Munson]

Tesla drops below 200 for the first time since December 2016.

NASDAQ high tech stocks in major correction mode. Somewhere soon should be a good buying opportunity

wow, yah, IQ is back down to where it initially listed day 1. From 18.20 up 120+% to $40 and now back at 18.40. It seems like the trade war is escalating again too

Some of the recent IPO's the last month or two have gone crazy too. Zoom (ZM) and as somebody mentioned already Beyond Meat was up 163% on day one.

Whoever posted that thread about Tesla introducing pickups is on my bad list. I bought some Tesla stock as a result, and am down about 30 percent since then.

I'm a huge fan of Tesla, but I'd never own that stock. They're a long way from stability.
