New to the investing game. Are REIT ETFs a good option nowadays?

this is a fair point but most people aren't actually holding to maturity, they're using bond funds which don't work that way. BDN doesn't give you that fixed maturity guarantee. the relative in the op has real estate income cushioning things anyway so the whole case for heavy bonds gets a lot weaker when you already have reliable cash flow coming in
Okay, here's the ones that I've identified as set to spike, based on technical environment: BNKK ALEC ALTS BDN ZONE RC TONX SKIN AZTR ZNB XBP YYGH LITS Of these, TONX appears to be bullish af. Can't believe that one didn't pop today. Unfortunately, I'm tied up in other positions right now to grab it.
BDN will perform better than HYSA as rates drop. I’m putting safe monies there for now.
TEF lost 20 cents per share. That's not good. RBBN lost 31 cents per share. Not any better. ATUS lost 22 cents per share. It's better than the one above, worse than the first. BDN lost $1.14 per share, stock price at $3.96 in after hours. August 6th, 2006 stock was at around $33. Who is writing this article? The Oracle of Pump'n'Dump? IQ lost 20 cents per share. The one year range goes from $5.80 to $1.50. A nice slide straight to the bottom. The five year chart looks like the opening scene from ABC's Wide World of Sports, where the narrator says, "and the agony of defeat." as the ski jumper tumbles off the bottom of the ramp and onto the mountainside. It's just a quick look at the basics. There may be a bargain to be found, but these look like sliders. It's your money. It is in your best interest to dig into learning the fundamentals instead of taking tips from anyone, including me. We can't invest your money or tolerate your risks. Everyone has a different strategy. Buying something cheap doesn't guarantee a profit, nor does buying something expensive. Where you make money is investing in something sound, has good earnings, and is led by smart people. Institutions buy solid performers, and that is something you should look into. Follow their lead, find ones with good fundamentals that fit your budget, and risk tolerance. Good luck with your investments, and please make well-informed decisions.
If buying on the way back up MMM, BDN, NWL, BMY & WBA - all pay dividends
I did some research and buying the following: VTI: 12,000 VTSAX: 10,000 BDN: 3,000
This is just incorrect. [The final tally was](https://www.cookpolitical.com/2020-national-popular-vote-tracker): >U.S. Total Biden: 81,282,916 Trump: 74,223,369 Other: 2,891,441 It's weird to me that in 2016 one of Hillary's big mistakes was assuming she had it in the bag, and now the other side seems to be doing the same thing. Meanwhile, I don't see many people assuming Biden will win, or flying Biden flags, or buying Biden's BDN company stock and Biden bibles. It's just bizarre...
Thanks I have been buying BDN.. and thinking about wework as a moon shot
I know this is a dicey place for real information, but is this moronic: BDN puts are showing super cheap, and they have a large dividend coming up. It's reasonable volume for stock, but appears low for options. If I get puts for ~.12, wait for the typical large dividend drop to push it into the money, even if the options themselves are hard to move and low volume(or something else weird happens to their price), worst case the shares themselves are cheap enough I could afford to exercise the option and sell them for a profit anyway. But usually when I work out something that seems reasonable, the market already has something built in to fuck me.
BDN, and O. BDN got absolutely hammered over the last 6 months or so and I think it's still at a pretty good entry point
Google In the fuck your rules division: SLG and BDN
I didn't do this with $100m but did it with a bit over $10m at Fidelity. I have 80% VT 15% BDN and 5% Money Market (FMPXX). A financial planner tries to call you and sell you their managed accounts and give investment advice. So far they've attempted to sell me: * Managed private bond portfolio * Managed tax lost harvesting strategy * Give me advice about investing in various things that are effectively timing the market or chasing returns They have been very helpful with discussing tax-advantaged accounts, 529 options, UTMAs, and estate planning. This has been completely free to me. I spoke to many other private banks: Morgan Stanley, JPM, Goldman Sachs (I put $2m at Goldman at one point) and they tried to sell me many alternatives and charged 50 basis points or more (depending on how much I had there.) I was at Edward Jones because my parent worked there and we had no fees, but left once the family discount was no longer applicable to children and after I realized they were all high-fee actively managed funds. Overall I have much more piece of mind at Fidelity and am very happy with the relationship management and advice they've provided on retirement planning. I've also done financial planning with JPM, reverse mortgages/investment loans, talked to PE firms, hedge funds, etc., and am planning to unwind all my investments for passive investing at Fidelity. If it's helpful to anyone I'm happy to answer questions.
Sure. Do your own DD, but here are a few areas: - office REITs: been painted with a broad brush since COVID. Will be a very binary place. If you look at more granular data, all the unoccupied units you are hearing about are in like 10-15% of real estate. So, really good class A, recently built and more “trophy” assets are at close to 100% occupancy. The class C offices built in 1980 with poor amenities have more like 30% occupancy & are where the issues are coming from. So companies like CUZ, SLG (maybe) and BDN (maybe) may be fine, but are being sold off like VNO and ONL. For a nichier play, PSTL is an interesting one (sole tenant is the USPS - so will be more defensive.) - traditional energy (pipelines, oil and gas, etc.): dirty, but necessary industry. Hype is green energy. Market fails to recognize this is a long term transition - the transition to a green economy (if it happens at all frankly) won’t be an overnight thing. Even if it does happen, trad sources will act as a backup - you may have a solar farm out in Texas, but there is normally a gas or oil burning generator associated with that solar farm which kicks in during peak hours (and kicks in quite often I might say.) Demand is there which supply / investment is being throttled. Good macro backdrop. However, these guys have a history of f*cking investors over and plunging money into capex projects that offer poor returns. Be wary. For what it’s worth - Occidental Petroleum is owned by Buffett and can look at EPD (they own a large portfolio of pipelines connecting the major oil & nat gas basins to Texas refineries).
you could yolo a little into Brandywine (BDN). At 16% dividend, even if they cut the dividend by a huge 50%, you'd still be yielding 8%. And if they don't cut the dividend, you'll do well.
BDN! Get yourself that 17% dividend return.
I wouldn't risk it, the Kohl's around me have been dead for 5 years. Only go there to process my Amazon returns. ​ If you want dividends, IBM looks safe at \~5.2%. For REITS, I actually own IRM (Iron Mountain) and Brandywine (BDN) ->this one has dropped massively the last year and currently has a 21% dividend (likely will be cut)! But REITS are taxed as regular income. O realty is another popular one with a current 5.1% dividend.
I’ll be buying shiploads of BDN. Yes plz!
Just focus on suburban office - the entire draw is cheaper rent and parking than in CBDs, and they are hurt the most by remote work. REITs are going to be better than private groups, for the most part, but otherwise look at Cousins Properties (CUZ) and Brandywine (BDN)
Mine are MPW NLY BDN and RTL
I really want Clifford BDN pls
Lost your home today? Your savings? Your job/business in teeters? Apply to be my sex slave at 555-JOE-BDN right now! Only candidates above 6“4' with a square jaw need apply.
Son of bitch...I'm in. [$BDN](https://imgur.com/gallery/cTK5Qj3)
Tough call. Everyone hates $BDN, cuz they really don’t do shit. But seeing lots of support these days…
I'm probably a bit to vested in REITs to be honest. But I like the stability and the dividend. I also had a bunch of money available when the march 2020 dip happened and prices were attractive . . . BDN, BNL, CLDT, HST, KIM, MPW, OHI, STAG, SVC, WPC.
The mods were always talking about BDN being a problem. Didn’t think they’d actually go private
Can’t believe it. They warned of BDN but I didn’t think it would actually matter
Big news news, SEC has just taken over WSB due to BDN
I wish Biden was publicly traded. I’d short that stock 6 ways to Sundee. BDN - it’s going to zero!
Long puts on BDN, MMI, CLNY, and LADR. This shit is going down
BDN calls 4/16 @12.5 also a steal imo
Oh shut the fuck up with your politics, this is a stonk forum. DNLD and BDN aren't stonks you /pol fuck.
BDN has some momentum. Don't know that I've seen it mentioned around here.
