inception price
This ETF was priced 50' at its inception in May 2007, it's around 14.6 the last time I checked this morning. Does it mean good or bad when an ETF bevaves like this despite producing very nice devident?
Thanks in advance for your thought and comments.-
This appears to be a ROC (return of capital). I'm not sure as I did no research. This was recommended in a newsletter. I would certainly question someone about this massive downward trend. I saw no splits either. Usually if it's a ROC, that would explain the decrease in the asset value. I'm staying out of this. Good luck on your research.

It is not ROC

To see a decline in the sp on your chart, you must go back 3 1/2 years to 2008. Do you remember 2008? I'd just as soon forget.

For the last three years, REM's sp has been steady as a rock.
OT Last week I bought FAV for high yeild in something other than a REIT. It's a young closed end fund with a chart that looks like REM's in its early years. Let's hope that it can smooth out like REM.- 1 Reply to rogerwenman

ETFs do not have ROC. ETF's are designed to trade at or about NAV (See REM.NV). ETF's are rebalanced each day. You are thinking about CEF's or REIT products, REM is an actual ETF. Went public in 2007 - just before the big meltdown. Lots of $$$ lost in the mortgage market at that time. Performing as the underlying securities are, just as it should.
