The FTSE NAREIT All Equity REIT Index reported total returns of 8.28% for full year 2011 vs. a 2.11% and (1.80%) for the S&#38;P 500 Index and the NASDAQ Composite, respectively. This was preceded by two solid back-to-back fiscal performances for the industry, as the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REIT Index reported total returns of 27.95% in 2010 and 27.99% in 2009. A combination of factors has helped the listed REIT sector to stand out and gain critical mass over the past 15 to 20 years, the most notable among them being a healthy dividend payout. Total returns of 8.28% for the FTSE NAREIT All Equity ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Investment U Senior Analyst Wednesday, August 31, 2011: Issue #1590 Perhaps because I have time on my side, I get excited when the market sells off like it did a few weeks ago. I know that I’ll be able to buy quality stocks at a lower price. That’s especially interesting to income investors who might be able to pick up an extra half a percentage point or so of yield with no real changes to a company’s ability to generate cash. When stocks decline, one of the first places I look is the list of S&#38;P Dividend Aristocrats. Dividend Aristocrats are stocks that are members of the S&#38;P 500 that have increased their dividends every year for the past 25 years. And their track records are welcome ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has rejected a rehearing petition of HCP Inc. (HCP), a leading healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), against its favorable decision awarded to Ventas Inc. (VTR). The court had earlier unanimously ruled in favor of Ventas and affirmed a 2009 jury verdict that awarded it a $101.6 million in damages. The verdict relates to the lawsuit filed by Ventas regarding the ‘Tortious Interference’ by HCP with business expectation arising out of the former’s acquisition of Sunrise Senior Living Inc. (SRZ) in April 2007. ‘Tortious Interference’ under Kentucky Law relates to intentional interference with prospective contractual relation for causing pecuniary harm by preventing another from acquiring or continuing the prospective relation. The conflict originated when Sunrise decided to conduct a confidential ]]></description>

This has helped the group generate market-beating returns. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index had total returns of 6.3% in the first quarter of 2011 vs. 4.8% and 5.4% for the NASDAQ Composite and the S&#38;P 500 Index, respectively. This was preceded by a solid back-to-back returns performances by the industry, as the above referred benchmark index returned roughly 28% each in 2010 and 2009. Investors looking for high dividend yields also favored the REIT sector.

		<description><![CDATA[Income-oriented investors have yet another reason to be upset with the bond markets. Junk bond yields fell to a record low a few days ago and are staying near those levels. As of Wednesday evening, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield index yielded a mere 6.68%, which isn&#8217;t much when you consider the risk of default. These low yields are just one sign of the bond market&#8217;s cheery mood. Corporations are finding plenty of buyers for their debt, and many offerings have been completed this week. Among the investment-grade companies selling bonds are Google (GOOG), Norfolk Southern (NSC) and Walt Disney (DIS). Included in this week&#8217;s near-record level of junk bond offerings is beleaguered Chrysler, which is refinancing its loan package. Taking advantage of the low interest rates is good ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HCP Inc. (HCP), a healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), reported a radical decline in third quarter 2009 FFO (funds from operations) to $32.2 million or 11 cents per share, compared to $174.3 million or 70 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter. Funds from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income.

Excluding the one-time charges, FFO for the third quarter of 2009 was $149.3 million or 52 cents per share compared to $178.8 million or 72 cents per share in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ventas Inc. (VTR), a leading healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), reported relatively modest third quarter results with steady performances across its diversified portfolio of healthcare and senior housing assets.
