Hi S, Re: NRO price/share decline...............
It's not just NRO, but all REITs and REIT funds to some degree.
Here's a bunch all in one graphic for recent times:
http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/perf.php?NRO,VNQ,EWRE,WPC,DRW&n=252&O=011000
The pale blue line is DRW an ex-US reit fund. It declined, but had been on a tear before the start of this episode. The others moves almost lockstep to the down side. As you can see they've stabilized in the last month.
Yields are:
Symbol Current Yield Price % of 52 Week Range
NRO 9.34% 37.6%
VNQ 4.68% 24.8%
EWRE 1.78% 28.7%
WPC 6.42% 24.2%
DRW 6.64% 60.8%
There's not very good correlation between yield and depth of decline right now. As you can see some were hurt worse than others but most are at about 25% to 40% of the 52 week price range. Only DRW is better.
