description: "Context: $CapLand Ascendas REIT(A17U.SG) is a blue chip REIT with a diversified portfolio in my folder. Much like any ship, be it an aircraft carrier or a supertanker, they can escape the pull of the receding tide concocted by the deadly mix of surging long term bond yields, elevated oil prices and unfavorable geopolitics.My Trade: Although I do not like the fact that the REIT manager is rewarded more for increasing AUM rather than growing DPU, I'm doing absolutely nothing (like @Fattycat) even though it's in the red. Why? (1) I believe the REIT sector is oversold now due to the more attractive risk-free bond alternate and will normalised in the longer term, (2) Am holding this relatively higher quality REIT (compared with those small cap ones with lesser known sponsors who may not be able to save them from sinking) in my income pot for the long term - you don't sell a house meant for rental based on the daily market price movements.Takeaway: Know your objective, stay the course. Price volatility is only the waves that is constantly around the ship, concentrate on the waves and you'll be jumping off the ship ever do often. But if you understand the tidal trend, you can live with the waves and let the tide carry the ship through the cycles."

- **Captain Leo · 2026-10-15T10:33:51.000Z**: Being open about a position sitting in the red is something most people only do once it recovers. Sorting each stock into an income pot or a trading pot before it moves is the part worth copying. Which other names share that pot with A17U?🤔
  - **LazyCat** (2026-10-15T11:22:41.000Z): Younger folks usually questioned the income pot and would opined that the capital would generate higher returns if put into the growth or US equities. However, when they approach mid career and beyond
  - **Captain Leo** (2026-10-16T09:45:59.000Z): Sizing that pot around a job-loss scenario instead of a return target is a lens most people only pick up after a scare. Cash flow that buys time to find the next role is the bit the growth argument te
