CapitaLand Investment will be a major beneficiary of lower rates from income growth for its REIT holdings and enabling accretive fee transactions. Another positive is the massive re-rating of China following the recent monetary stimulus by the central bank and support by the Politburo will benefit the economy indirectly. Similar to the Fed’s quantitative easing, it will be the wealth effect of higher equity and bond prices that boosts confidence and spending. It also encourages borrowing as households and private enterprises are deleveraging despite the record-low interest rates.
Personally. I am buying and holding for my long term dividends portfolio.

#FED causing Commercial Real Estate/ Banking CollapseCommercial real estate
"..talk of black swans of an economic nature forcing the Fed to print trillions again. Commercial real estate may be the next domino to fall. Back in 2008, default rates rose to 9%, up from 1%, as interest rates rose.
Today, the damage to commercial real estate loans which total about $2.7 trillion could be far greater. Over 40% of the US work force now works remotely since May 2020. The decline in demand for commercial properties has worsened by recent tech layoffs. The value of office sector REITs have fallen by about 55% which translates into a 33% reduction in the value of office buildings.
The default rate of between 10-20% in commercial real estate which was the lower end seen during the worst of 2008 would result in about $80-160 billion in additional bank losses. This would be ruinous for hundreds of smaller and midsize regional banks that have already been weakened by higher interest rates. The 2008 financial crisis spread from the housing sector to the rest of the economy as large banks with exposure to housing took tremendous losses.
Today, the Fed has created a moral hazard in guaranteeing depositors. Bank executives may take bigger risks if they believe the Fed will step in to protect depositors."
Has MPW Bottomed Out?NYSE:MPW has pumped 19.60%+ today, and I received a great question about whether MPW has bottomed out. There was an opportunity to buy within the buy zone, and MPW had a strong rebound out of this buy zone. The momentum is currently bullish, and there is the possibility that MPW continues trending up towards the light blue trendline, which gives a price target around $6-7 price levels. This pump is caused by bullish news that Steward is selling assets to reduce its debt, which is a scenario that I've been discussing in past updates. It is possible for a selloff after this news, and for now MPW is at a $4.60 resistance level. It is important to monitor this resistance level to see if MPW gets a rejection or break here. With a rejection, I think there can be more buying opportunities around $3-4 price levels. MPW had a strong rebound off the orange zone, flipping it from resistance into support. I think MPW could retest this orange zone at some point, and I still think MPW could retest the green buy zone during a fed pivot.
Octodec ready for the next push up to R10.87 - NB Investment TipOctodec has had a challenging year with the price constantly on the downtrend.
That was until 27 June 2023... We can see a huge wick where there was most likely buying from Smart Money and financial institutions...
Since then the support has been tested numerous times and it's since then formed a W Formation (Double Bottom)...
We do need the price to break above the neckline for further upside but things are looking good.
IMPORTANT TRADING TIP AND MEDIUM TERM INVESTMENT TIP
Also, with lower liquid and high volatile stocks, I like to extend the stop loss quite broad. I normally move the stop loss BELOW the entire pattern to give room in case there are jumpy moves along the process to stop us out...
ALSO because there aren't CFDs or derivatives, these strategy works very well for medium term investments using technicals and fundamentals.
Other indicators state the following:
Price<200
RSI>50 - Bullish
Target R10.87

Simon Property Group: Bear Flag into Bearish BAMMSimon Property Group is going to close the month below a Bear Flag as the RSI breaks down and the MACD crosses bearishly.
If this Bear Flag plays out, it will begin to push SPG below the B point of this potential harmonic BAMM, which would only complete once SPG reaches the 0.886 at around the $47.30 level. SPG is simply yet another REITs play that I will be on the lookout for a major correction in.
Emaar: Buy Dubai Real Estate in Liquid FormEmaar
From Covid Low of mar 2020, it returned 4x in 3.5 years, more than the best real estate deal one could get.
And was liquid all the way.....okay liquid 5 days a week !!
At AED 6.3, its available due to the war like situation in Gaza. Load up at the current levels , the best high beta and liquid way to get exposure to Dubai Real Estate.
American Homes 4 Rent: Monthly 3 Black Crows Channel BreakdownAMH has confirmed 3 Black Crows on the Monthly Timeframe and has cracked below an ascending channel and the 21SMA. I expect that we will get severe follow-through as both the Rental Sector and the Real Estate Industry in general continue their decline into the higher interest rate environment.
What is a REIT and how do they work?A. Let’s start with the basics:
REITs stands for 'Real Estate Investment Trusts'.
These are essentially property companies that are listed on the stock market which you'll find pretty much most of them on TradingView.
So how do they work?
Step 1: An individual decides to invest in a REIT company.
Step 2: The money is then collected into a large pool (like all trusts).
Step 3: The pooled money is then invested into the property that the company either owns, operates or finances.
Step 4: Over time the company starts to make revenue and profit.
Step 5: The profits are then accounted and collected.
Step 6: The profits are then distributed in parts to the initial investors who
helped finance the company through a REIT.
Sounds great in theory…
But in reality, there is always a catch…
And that catch is timing.
The Big five SA Reits have lost over R100bn in value since 2018.
The BIG five REITs are:
1. Growthpoint
2. Redefine
3. Resilient
4. Vukile and
5. Hyprop.
Of course, this could be seen as an opportunity but there are several other factors we need to consider before deciding the best time to trade this type of asset.
A trick will be to overlay the five companies on a chart. See how they move and operate in conjunction to each other.
And then we can decide which are buys or sells.
Apples with apples.
Berkshire Hathaway: Bearish Gartley Hinting at a 40-60% DeclineBerkshire Hathaway is currently trading at the HOP level of a Bearish Gartley and at this HOP level, upon close, will likely confirm a Bearish PPO Confirmation Arrow as the PPO Oscillator itself gets closer and closer to breaking below a well established trend line.
Along with that, we have some Bearish Divergence on the MACD and the price action we got at the HOP resulted in a green Shooting Star Candlestick Reversal Pattern that we are working on confirming via a Weekly Bearish Engulfing.
If all goes as expected, I would think that the shares of Berkshire Hathaway will first pull back 27% which would put at the 2022 lows but after that I think it will likely pullback around 40%-60% to fill an unresolved gap at $314,850.00
Royal Bank of Canada: Bearish Diamond AnticipationRoyal Bank of Canada has confirmed a Diamond Top pattern on the weekly, along with a breaking of the Moving Average. Upon breaking down, I think it will start a move down all the way to the 88.6% Retrace, likely near $46. Since the Diamond is a Neutral pattern and we have not gotten an official breakdown yet, I will still be on the lookout for a breakout in the other direction, but I'm primarily positioned bearishly in puts.
REM: Partial Rise within an Ascending Broadening WedgeAs the Fed Funds Rate rises and the rise in Consumer Credit Balances come to a halt, I think it will lead to Deflationary Pressure. This pressure would likely send Short Term Bond Yields lower starting with the ultra short ones like the 1 year and below, when this happens I think we could then see this be reflected within the Mortgage Back Securities (MBS) and if that's the case, this ETF will likely fall because it mostly holds a lot of very Short Term MBSs with maturities ranging between 0 and 5 Years, and as the rate of the MBSs fall so will the Demand for them which would likely lead to lower prices.
Due to what I explained above I think that this Harmonic ABCD BAMM break down will likely happen and send REM down to the 1.13 Fibonacci Extension.
HSBC: MACD Bearish Divergence with PPO Confirmation at Bat PCZWe have the strongest form of Double PPO Confirmation on the Daily and a weaker form on the Weekly, all at the PCZ of a Bearish Bat; if it performs it will very likely begin a severe decline of up to 62%+ especially due to how much exposure it has to chinese Real Estate.
Consumer Credit: Harmonically Set Up to Return Down To TrendConsumer Credit has recently risen to over $1 Trillion and this rise happens to align with a 2.618 Fibonacci Extension and the PCZ of a Bearish ABCD. If we view this based on the expectations of Harmonics and Fibonacci, we would expect that this is indeed the top and that we will now begin a retrace back down to trend, which could likely land us between the 50% and 61.8% retrace down at $600–$500 Billion as those retraces line up with the trend line we have formed.
EQIX: A way to Short AI & Commercial Real Estate in One StockThis company deals with renting out Commercial Real Estate, mostly to do with Datacenters and other Internet Connected Operations, and due to that, this makes it a perfect stock to get Bearish Exposure to if you are both Bearish on the AI Big Tech Mania and Bearish on Commercial REITs
One of the main risks for this stock is if their biggest clients, like MSFT and AMZN begin to shift away from using Equinix datacenters in favor of creating and using their own in order to save on costs. If MSFT's recent earnings call is anything to go off of, they are currently desperate to increase profit margins and reduce the costs associated with their business operations especially the costs associated with working with third parties.
One area in which they could cut costs would be to reduce their reliance on Equinix datacenters, but in general as the AI Mania begins to wind down we could likely see the Equinix enterprise consumer base shrink even more, in which case we could see price begin to correct to reflect upon their lower cashflows as both the AI and Commercial REITs sectors continue to slow.
Beyond that: We have a Bearish Shark with MACD and PPO Bearish Divergence and PPO Arrow Confirmation; with hardly any support below us. If it plays out we could see a decline of about 50% from the current price level.
Redefine Trade Update still on the way down to R3.20 BUT...Symmetrical Triangle formed last year and the price broke below the apex.
It has been a very slow moving trade analysis, but that's what happens with blue chip companies.
The companies do what they can to fight for the price (and rightfully to do so).

Grand City Properties: Oversold dusted jewel? Maybe not yet.Back in Oct 13, 2022 I made this analysis:
Compared to Vonovia, Grand City has a double better debt position than its big competitor. Earnings payout are 23% and cash payout 64%. Vonovia's respective figures are 67% and 61%. Debt quity ratio at 57% is highly different from Vonovia's at 117%. Grand City may experiment higher costs of debt refinancing in 2023 but not as much as Vonovia in relative numbers. Grand City is able to breath better within this whole interest rates hike environment than mostly any other REIT. Sometimes, it's better to aim at 1,5B valued companies than 15B valued ones.
But then, on March 16th, 2023 GYC presented its FY 2022 results. And my analysis changed to this one:
Unfortunately, Grand City decided not to pay 2022 dividend due to macroeconomic uncertainty. The results were somewhat weak even though positive. I see GYC going down to 4.42€ in the next months. Better to avoid
January and February 2013 lows were around 4.42€. Current PER is 9.51 and dividend yield has been cut to 0% in 2022. Interest rates keep rising at the moment and before the SVB, FRC, Credit Suisse fall; investors thought they would go up until 5.5-6%. Even though debt is lower than its bigger competitor Vonovia and according to GYC website the company’s debt have a 95% interest hedging ratio, which is expected to reduce to 91% as some interest rate hedging matures throughout 2023; in an environment of increasing interest rates, investors could switch from REITs to bonds. The fact that GYC cut its dividend to 0, may look very disciplined and responsible. But a REIT who does not pay dividend is no longer attractive in my opinion. Whether it will be at 10-15€ in the next 4-5 years, that depends on: inflation stabilisation, interest rates beginning to drop at comfortable levels (1-3%), reduced banking crisis uncertainty and reduced recession fears, among other factors. It's also important to track the FFO and AFFO and compare these two metrics with competitors in order to see if the stock has been oversold or overbought.
If Central Banks stop raising interest rates or inflation drops further, then REITs will be one of the first sectors to recover as they may be experiencing overselling. When I analysed GYC back in Oct, I saw good fundamental reasons to invest in it. Macroeconomic uncertainty is now overweighting those fundamental reasons.
But when every aspect in the macroeconomic environment seemed to doom the expectations of GYC stock, I analysed the fundamentals of the company:
Analysis FY 2022 results: Net Debt/EBITDA = 11.4x. AFFO diminished -1.26%. FFO/per share +3% at 1.14€. P/FFO (Today) = 7/1.14 = 6.14.
Guidance FY 2023 FFO/share to decrease -13.16% max to 0.99€/share. P/FFO (2023e) = 7/0.99 = 7.07.
Sector P/FFO for Residential REITs in US has been moving steadily between 17 and 25 in 2010-2018 period (S&P Global Market Intelligence, Nareit 2018). GYC is clearly undervalued already.
Technical aspect doesn’t show any signs of recovery yet. RSI(14) suggesting completely oversold but selling volume keeps increasing.
CONCLUSION
We may be set to turnaround very soon on GYC. However, the fact that a REIT does not pay dividends is something clearly penalising the stock value. Therefore, I would still wait and see how the market develops and if GYC reaches 4.40€ level, maybe it could act as a historic support level from January 2013 and bounce back upwards from there.
Real Estate Sector; A Very Bearish FractalJust like in the lead up to the 2008 the REITs have been going up with no sign of slowingh down whilst inside of an Ascending Broadenign Wedge/Channel and has on it's 4th attempt gone above the Supply Line Breifly only to very quickly come back down again and now it's cracked below botht the 21 and 55 Month EMAs; The last time it's done marked the beginning of an accelerated move down and the eventual Breakdown of the wedge where it then went for the measured move of the wedge which is the price where the wedge began; In this case that would be back down at $289.91
For more context as to how this dump started check the Idea in the Related Ideas Tab as that has a Weekly Timeframed Chart of the VNQ ETF that was showing Bearish Variables before the REIT's Decline Began.
