If you wanted to research your REIT mutual Fund, how would you do it?

Question

Brothers are allowed in this room!

Nice Coat of Arms by the way, Son.

Answer 1

I am here for you, my brother.

Go to Yahoo!Finance.
If you don't know the symbol for the REIT, search it first on the internet by name. Enter the symbol into "get quotes" on Yahoo!Finance.
You don't get better tools. Sure you can check Morningstar or Kiplinger's, but what do you want to know?

Answer 2

Morningstar is great for researching funds. But why invest in a fund? Just buy the best REITs individually. Here are my favorite REITs.

This is from http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own "group" so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.

Here are this month's best traders:

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

The best site for researching mutual funds is Morningstar.com. If you need more specific info than what they offer, go the the fund family's website itself and download the prospectus or whatever else they have available.
