TICKERS
Personally I am not going to start DCAing into storage until unemployment is higher (at least 5.5-6%. I broke this and got some LSI/NSA/CUBE around 3.5%). Here are the picks I have looked over in the sector:
EXR - Second in mkap to PSA, but has overtaken it in terms of growth. Decent looking balance sheet. Seems like the best of the bunch.
PSA - Largest in mkap. Also has exposure to Europe via Euronext Brussels:SHUR. Balance sheet less good on this one than EXR, but they have the most locations.
CUBE - Has done pretty good with growth in the past. Seems more like they target transient movers (college students) over hoarders.
LSI (Formerly Uncle Bob's) - Seems pretty mediocre. Not a lot exciting looking over their site + balances. Won't do horribly, won't do too well.
NSA - This one seems to be an umbrella for many third party storage companies and specifically markets themselves as a trust. The newest of the bunch with good growth and a strong divvy.
SELF - This one SUCKS. Big stinky microdick crap. Barely recovers when it dips. It does have the largest dividend of the bunch at 4.45%, but maybe they should lower it and use the extra money to make their business better.
SVI (TODO research) - Canadian company. Own most of the market share.

And that's my storage spiel. It'll be a several year hold to see the big gains, made all the easier by those solid dividends along the way.
4/4
