On Tuesday,
May 1, I removed Senior Housing Property Trust (SNH) from the
e-FinancialWriter REIT portfolio. The balance of the stocks held for the week
ending May 4, 2012, are up 25.7% since implemented, not including 3.69% in
dividends!
You might notice that I added the S&P United States
REIT Index to the table below. I wanted to give a better apples-to-apples
comparison of how an individual investor can do managing a real estate
portfolio.
And as of May 4, we’re beating the index’s 1-year return
by 2.32 to 1.
