REITs Quietly Sell Stock Overnight At A Discount; Next Day Pop Fries Shorts

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:24:16 GMT

If Frank Quattrone could start over, he would be a REIT banker. REITs staged a huge rally this quarter, almost $15 billion in new equity has been raised through 45 public offerings this year, and even the Italians are descending upon New York to list new deals. With REIT stocks now being served up like Cannolis on Columbus Day, and consumed almost as fast by shell-shocked but somehow still hungry investors, you may have one question: What is Going On? One reason is that REITs cram down desperately need the money, and while not all are teetering on the brink insolvency, most will do almost anything[More...]

“Sharks” Starting to Wake Up

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:42:00 GMT

“Sharks” Starting to Wake Up by Investment U Research Team On Tuesday, in the midst of one of the largest rallies this year, one of the biggest items we stumbled across almost went unnoticed. The data miners at Bespoke discovered that the stocks in the S&P 500 that have done the worst since January 6, did the best overall during Tuesday’s climb. Stocks that did the best averaged a 4.39% increase while the worst performers added 18.3%. We’ve been discussing the once-in-a-lifetime discounts on the market[More...]

Warning: These 5 REITs Still Pay Dividends, But Not In Cash

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:51:00 GMT

"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." Wimpy, character from the cartoon series Popeye As many of you may remember, Wimpy was not only a character from the Popey cartoon series, he was also a glutton for hamburgers, and he would consume them at a ferocious rate. Of course, "Tuesday" would never come, and Wimpy constantly secured himself a free lunch. These days, REITs are increasingly[More...]

Anthcacite CDOs on Watch For Possible Downgrade

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 02:09:00 GMT

Moody's went more negative on commercial real estate yesterday, and as a result they went even more negative on below-investment grade CMBS. I have written about the bullseye that is on Anthracite's (AHR) controlling class chest before, and while AHR is well-managed and still enjoys tangible, substantive support from parent Blackrock, if you're new to the stock you should read more about Anthracite here before betting the ranch. Anthracite certainly wasn't singled out; Moody's put $109 billion of CRE CDOs on review. But Moody's did say yet again that CRE CDO deals with collateral concentrations in below-investment-grade CMBS certificates will likely be among the first transactions to be affected by credit issues that are getting worse by the day, and that the additional leverage inherent in those deals creates the potential[More...]

One Nation, Under Capitalized, With Loan Modifications and Forebearance For All

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:04:00 GMT

"Any idiot can face a crisis. It's this day-to-day living that wears you out." - Anton Chekov Our national psyche has been more thoroughly revealed over the past year or so, and it has been interesting to learn more about us. Before 2007, I was only vaguely aware of the term "schadenfreude", and I certainly didn't know how to spell it. I simply had no reason to use it, nor did I spend time with anybody who did. I still don't. But that is becoming harder and harder as more and more fingers are being pointed more furiously in various directions, and few people are willing to dig into their own pockets for a solution. The comments on posts of mine that benefit from a wider audience (those posts that appear in Seeking Alpha email alerts, for example), have betrayed a broad streak of national[More...]

Controlling Class Smack Down For Mortgage REITs?

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:33:00 GMT

I went for a ride on my mountain bike last week. Is it any wonder that all I could think of during the long, steep, uphill grades was REITs? The analogy is apt, as making money in this sector is almost as strenuous. This afternoon, however, after I wiped the vomit from my shirt luckily I can't afford to eat much that day seemed like a decade ago. Earlier in the day today, General Growth Properties (GGP), an equity REIT that owns and operates shopping centers announced that it may be unable to refinance its debt. Even pedestrian REITs like AIMCO (AIV), an owner of apartments will you take food stamps? took it in the shorts to the tune of 30% as confidence completely evaporated from anything related to real estate and mortgages. But didn't our lame, ignorant congress finally get a clue as to the damage a[More...]
