A little motivation from Apple REIT

Today there were dividends again from Apple Hospitality REIT $APLE (-0.36%) - and it's moments like this that show why I invest for the long term. 🍎🏨

Apple REIT is a hotel REIT that invests in strong brands such as Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt. This means: income from a solid, crisis-resistant portfolio - and regular distributions for me as a shareholder. 📈💰

For me, every dividend payment is like a little proof that my money is working for me while I sleep. And if you consistently reinvest these payments, small amounts turn into a really strong cash flow over the years.

Hotel-REIT and crisis-resistant... it's great if you're happy with the investment so far, but for a reality check of your expectations, it's better to look at the dividends from e.g. 2020-2021...

@DoppelSchlechtMinus in a COVID scenario there are no resistant companies. The prices of the S&P500 etc have also taken a choppy flight, so we shouldn't focus on Black Swan events to make comparisons.

@Balance_seeker I wasn't talking about Apple REIT compared to anything else, just the description of the portfolio as "solid, crisis-resistant"... COVID was of course very specific, but it's just an example here. What kind of crisis is a hotel REIT supposed to be resistant to? This is definitely a particularly vulnerable business model.

@DoppelSchlechtMinus sim, não concordo que seja à prova de bala, como na crise subprime de 2008: as REIT, financeiras e tecnologicas é que tombaram. As Reit não são imunes a recessões mas são mais resiliêntes a crises que não tenham origem em falências hipotecárias. Uma crise subprime de novo é impensável. Daí que seja uma boa proteção quando esta bolha rebentar

@Balance_seeker APLE is not a diversified REIT, it exclusively holds hospitality real estate and is very sensitive to different factors.

@DoppelSchlechtMinus Colapso do turismo de luxo americano? Que factores ? Uma recessão profunda dos estados unidos? Nesse caso, só valia a pena comprar barras de ouro.
