Thank you for clearing that up granger. ReplyOne Bright Spot in the U.S. Property Market [view article]
I have been a long term holder of MPW. Their future has been and continues to be bright. Please checkyou facts, MPW is much larger than you state:"As of June 30, 2008, our healthcare portfolio consisted of 46 properties, of which 43 were facilities that we owned and leased to 14 tenants, and of which the remaining were represented by mortgage loans to 2 operators. In addition, as of June 30, 2008, our healthcare portfolio comprised a total investment of approximately $1.1 billion, with an aggregate of approximately 5.2 million square feet and 4,884 licensed beds in 21 states"

It is the 62% Fibonacci retracement. There is also a gap to fill from 1/4. ReplyThe End of the Bear Market? [view article]
Alan,Thanks. I am still not sure how you come up with 1450 or so. What's the theory behind this bold prediction? Reply

Yes, I do. In fact, based on what I believe is a very good interim bottom, we may in fact test 1450 or so. ReplyThe End of the Bear Market? [view article]
Alan,With the market turmoil, do you still expect the S&P will test 1415 you projected in previous article? Reply

AlanYou belong on CNBC. It seems like no one has figured out that the real estate bubble is a very small part of our problems. Consumer spending constitutes 75% of our GDP. With the price of oil over $110 Americans are not going to be able to shop for victoria's secrets, cheese doodles and escalades. When folks finally realize what a mess we are in this stock market is going fall another 30%. James Howard Kunstler says there are NO alternatives to cheap light sweet crude. We are living in a world that depends on $40 oil but the price of oil is headed to $120. The price of everything in our civilation is effected by the price of oil. Americans better get used to eating beans and rice.

so a badly beaten sector bounces back, relatively speaking. are you implying there's now a buyout premium? isn't that reason to sell into this 'rally'? ReplyThe End of the Bear Market? [view article]
OUCH. ReplyThe End of the Bear Market? [view article]
I hope you're right but I'm skeptical of any analysis that does not consider the underlying driver of our economy - consumers. This type of "Wall Street" view frustrates me because I see so many of my fellow citizens in dire financial straits. Their debt load is too high and their house is no longer an ATM. So, their only solution is to tighten their belts or default and start over. Either way their free spending days are over. EOM ReplyBrochstein

They cut the cap gain rates just a few years ago in response to the stock market crash - maybe not the cause, but it certainly didn't hurt. They also changed the dividend taxation. I recall when they slashed the cap gains on homes in 1995 - what an impact that had. I have to disagree with you and don't understand your conclusion. It's not as if the tax rate is the only or even main factor that influences stock prices (earnings and interest rates). I can assure you that if they raise the taxes on capital gains, it will be a negative factor. People will "book the gains", which will be good for tax receipts but bad for the supply of stock for sale. ReplyThe End of the Bear Market? [view article]
Looking to history as you do, we had a massive stock market rally when Cap Gains taxes were a bit higher in the Ninties, Sixties etc. We've had no equity gains in this decade with lower cap gain rates. Cap gains taxes have no correlation whatsoever with equity gains. ReplyBrochstein
