I bailed out of my REITs in a bit of fear (panic) several months ago and would like to think that I cut some losses, though I guess it's against the theory of not timing the market. One of the feature stories in our local news last night was that that housing market is stabillizing, and I've been rethinking things.
I'm wondering if others are reconsidering REITs and how they fit into your portfolio these days? Seems like before the financial blowup there were many who thought REITs were an important asset class to have in their portfolio. Considering that real estate has pretty much been ground zero for a lot of our financial problems, have you changed your attitude about this, or pretty much staying the course?
