WHY IS HR STINKING IT UP TODAY

REITS DOWN ONLY 1% OR LESS

I'm not sure but I appreciate the opportunity to buy a few back. Just going to be nothing but volatility in the short term imo. The TSX is just all over the map for 2 weeks now, up in the morning, then down or vice versa. Repeats daily.

HR seems to be more volatile than others, and in fact it should be more stable... it tends to gain more than others, yet sink more than others also. Not sure why

HR should be more volatile than others.  It has 4 major components any one of which can have events.  It is in 2 countries for 3 divisions. Until we are reconstited we will be volatile.  It is the nature of the beast. mat

This is what is truly bizarre about these types of REITS - based on sheer logic, the diversification should lead to LESS volatility, not MORE!  I guess the argument is that there is more that can go wrong, rather than more that can go right.

A case in point is DIV - with a name like Diversified Royalties you can see why it has stalled!
