WMRE: Let’s start with performance. What were the highlights for the month?
John Worth: REITs are now in positive territory vs. where they were on Feb. 21, 2020, which is our “marker” for the beginning of the COVID period. So, they have now experienced a full recovery in terms of share prices.

Every previous time we’ve talked, they’ve been red for the COVID period.
