REITs are too risky for me right now. Here is why. HCP announced its results today. I am not a specialist in this field, but their financials look solid:- Raised $1.1 billion from capital recycling and financing activities, including $600 million of 4.0% senior unsecured notes that paid down 36% of 2016 debt maturities - Completed $208 million of investment transactions - Leased 911,000 sq. ft. in our life science and medical office ("MOB") portfolios, bringing occupancy to 98.2% and 91.9%, respectively However, the stock fell more than 17% today. Which REITs do you prefer?
