Jeff Benjamin of Investment News recently explained why he is still bullish on REITs. In fact REITs were up 7.5% according to FTSE Nareit’s All REIT Index. That certainly beats out the 2.1% the S&P 500 was able to muster. He also writes about the reasons for strength in 2011, including lower vacancy rates and the phenomenal growth in healthcare and regional malls REITs.
