Are there REIT options?

[simonhughes]

Hi all,

fairly new to investing and was wondering whether there are REIT options? Where can I see which are traded (if there are any?)
thanks
Hugh

Type a symbol into Yahoo Finance, go to the Options link on the left hand side. For instance, SSS, one that I used to like, and might still be a good investment these days.
Which is the point: as you can see, not a lot of options action on these guys. They're good investments, not really good trading vehicles.
