RE: RE: RE: I'm Out strapper, love the reit idea. they (+ the daylight takeover) have powered my portfolio to a nice gain in 2011. alot of reits are trading near their highs for the year but their distributions are still very attractive.
I have a little hee (as well as hex and hep) and hate it. I think those products capture all the downside and give you only a fraction of the upside. they've been advertised as something that will protect your downside and will only minimize your upside on huge quick gains. I haven't found this to be the case at all. Plus, on a whole, it looks like their distributions are slowing becoming smaller and smaller as the nav decreases.
a few months ago I ran comparative charts showing the stocks that HEP is comprised of and the stockprice of HEP itself. All but two of the stocks in hep were vastly, vaslty outperforming HEP. It wasn't even close. Maybe you wanna do the same thing with HEE and see if you still like it. Just my opinions.
good luck.
