RE:SPI'd like to simply say a buying op is what's going on - that case could be made. But interest rate fears are a definite possibility as longer term US & other treasury bills yields are up 1/2% from Jan lows, & it seems that the fed intends to raise rates modestly in the next year (Is this expectation why long term T-bill yields have already risen?). But it would seem that even where rates are rising, the increase is generally small & gradual. Should that really scare people out of the stock? Probably it should not, but for these very widely held REITs perhaps it does scare out all too many. Or perhaps it is that fact that they are Canadian? Could it be that oil prices and voting habits have scared voters out of Canada?
