This translates into a massive 50% increase over the earlier dividend. The increased dividend will be paid on July 15, 2011, to stockholders of record on June 30, 2011.

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. Solid dividend payouts are arguably the biggest enticement for REIT investors as the U.S. law requires REITs to distribute 90% of their ]]></description>

Even as unemployment rate remained at a grueling 9.6%, the latest jobs report said the economy lost a surprisingly high 95,000 jobs in September – fueling hopes the Federal Reserve will pump in more money into the economy to resurrect the unstable economic growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 11006.48, up 57.90 points, or 0.5%. The blue-chip index is up 5.6% year-to-date. On Friday, the broader S&#38;P 500 index gained nearly 8 points, or 0.6%, 1165.15. The Nasdaq Composite index gained 18 points, or 0.8%, to 2401.91.
