If want to buy REITs, why not wait after Sept as sure it will drop another 5-10%? There is no CD these 2 months, is it not better to wait?

hehehe these few months see the same words over and over again:

regret...average down...long term...

funds and institutions gave you 3 months to dump REITs since May announcement but many didn't.

if you still holding on to REITs now you only have yourself to blame. Or you're taking a big, unnecessary risk that Fed won't announce tapering anytime soon. But that's just delaying the inevitable, which is well underway.

You bought it at low prices many years ago so you're still pretty well off I guess. But wouldn't have it been better to have sell first and realize those big gains then let it erode?

Since you are seem very active and monitor your positions very often, this strategy will suit you better.

I am looking to buy telcos on the cheap, I think there will be a selloff as treasury yields continue to rise:

Example: If I'm a hedge fund manager and treasury yields goes to 4%. Compare this (4% yield, 100% risk-free) against say, Singtel (4.5% yield, various risks like forex, macro, company performance, etc); it's obvious I'll start parking my funds in t-bills instead.

This is not taking into account the higher financing costs associated with rising interest rates which are detrimental for highly geared companies, i.e. REITS
