This fund is up 9.08% YTD (Oct 3 close), not too bad considering.

It is an Int'l fund, which gives it more stability than just uS REITs. And 3 of the top holdings are US hotel chains. Hiltob is up 39% YTD, i guess that's the salvation of the fund.

My time horizon is long term, so I'll stick around. Yeah, i wish i had stepped out during the RE downturn, but I think that's largely over now. REITs are not home builders or mortgage companies who did sub-prime lending or bought the paper on sub-prime. It think it'll be far higher in a year than now.

But then, what do I know?
