I have also tried to get across that the dividend method works for me and I think is also suitable for people reaching/ in retirement that needs to safe guard capital and income - but personally, for most young people, those with jobs and those that have substantial investments - I would not be seeking yield but capital growth.

I dunno. I am working but I feel that even though I save as much as I possibly can it just isn't as much as I would like to save and invest. So by investing in high dividend yielding REITs I have so far insured that over the next year I will get a whole month's extra salary through dividends. A whole month's extra salary to invest. Which will in turn increase the dividends I will earn the year after if combined with another full years investing. I think if I keep doing that for 10 years I will be earning a pretty decent amount in dividends by the time I reach 40. But I dunno. Still deciding how I will go about it.

Just look at future dividends as well - with REITS 8 - 10% growth is normal and decent. But some shares, although starting yields are not great, grow them pretty rapidly - 20% - 30%. Thinking (the ones I have) Capitec, Mr Price, PGR - all are now giving me decent dividends on my original investment and pretty good growth on the capital - and that's under 3 years. Dividends are great, but dividends AND good growth, well thats fantastic.

Just don't miss out on Aspen, taste, Trustco, discovery, adapt and all the other great companies we have - -in 20 years time you will be laughing - and dividends will come. IMO of course.

Further to my reply #12 where I outlined the close correlation between bond yields and listed property yields, it is a given that interest rates will go up in ZA and a December US increase seems more likely now than 1 month ago. Furthermore we will probably be downgraded by the ratings agencies (S&P and co.). This will move bond yields up and consequently listed property yields, meaning a drop in the prices of listed property quoted on the JSE. In other words a bad time to buy REITS. Only consider those with non ZA portfolios for reasons already mentioned previously. I have a mix of both but if selling the ZA focused ones my CGT would be prohibitive.
This just a mild warning to anyone wanting to buy ZA focused REITS now - there will be better opportunities once interest rates are close to topping out.

@Fawkes85

Applies to US in particular but would also apply to Germany/UK.

The idea that rising interest rates are always bad for REITs may need another look.

Something that Wayne McCurrie doesn't seem to understand.
