"...Are we headed for an epic bear market?...."



Anyone still looking for an answer to this question?

"...You're thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in Joe's house...right next to yours. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Macklin's house, and a hundred others. Why, you're lending them the money to build, and then, they're going to pay it back to you as best they can. Now what are you going to do? Foreclose on them?..."

We might even close up for the day, what a weird market. I thought today was the day things really went south, but it appears the bears got cold feet.

Capricious doesn't do so well on the day to day or intraday market timing, this isn't the first time. And saying things are crappy in general takes no special perspicacity. :wave:

I have not said what I have been doing, so you really would
not know.

But I'm in a darn good mood today so it would be safe to
assume that things are going as I thought they would.

On the other hand, you seem to be having a bad day...?

Everyday you and I get a chance to exchange pleasantries is a good day for me. I am glad you are having one as well.

In a period of economic fukkupedness REITs tend to be more stable take an office building oriented REIT. Even the totallyfukkedupedness corporation will pay rent as priority.

REIT properties are often purchased as income stable properties and have longevity in track record. They are also typically diversified i.e. office properties spread geometrigraphically, ya' know, um, like, all over the place. :blink:

Each REIT is individualistically individual :dunno: but they almost always outperform the individual, collected investments in investor properties when the country has been Bushsodomized.

NEWS FLASH !!
