    In Switzerland, probably in most other countries, the scam type get-rich-quick schemes are not lawful because, as you say, they are fraudulent. We need truth in advertising! note: last year when some toy was taken off market, CNN visited the office that screens toys coming into the USA. It was one old man! The Bush appointee over him, Commis. of Consumer..... was a high class woman who knew little, cared less, was uninformed -- but probably had a big office, chauffer and salary....Bush crony.

    I put in a few hours looking at these REITs. A little voice kept saying "Lincoln Bonds". Lincoln Bonds over and over again.

    If something appears to be too good to be true, then it probably is. A ridiculous yield should be a great big warning sign to anyone who will listen.

    Buy SLG, OFC, BPO, SPG, or EPR. Their yields are 2.75% to 6.3%

    As I write this, I see that AFN is now having a melt down.     Reply

    CSE continues to look interesting. Though the financial leverage is high - over 5X - it is not ridiculous. Quarterly earnings are still 20% below dividend payout.

    AFN is probably close to going down the tubes ... doubtful if they will survive.     Reply

    This article is lacking in adequate information. Also, the management of RAS is responsible for a large decrease in shareholder value...especially for the shareholders who purchased RAS common stock for over $30.00 per share.

    Needless to say, RAS is not the only financial firm that has lost shareholder value.

    Finally, RAS is more of a lender than a real estate owner. There are better investments than RAS.     Reply

    I have had some success trading CBF. The author presumes lower interest rates. The commodities bubble make this a seemingly very short term scenario. This week it was WB reporting more losses out of left field on Saving's Bank life insurance! The shoes continue to drop in the financials. There was the former "Free Money World", Fed Chairman making sanguine remarks on Thurs. More shoes may yet drop in the foreign banks. Why did the Fed increase the TRCAs with the ECB and SNB by 100% this week? We are now in a period of public insecurity and distrust. The geniuses are now trying to discern if the period is now one where inflation expections are out of control yesterday, or if there is still a short window of time left before that time actually arrives. At the beginning of last month Ford extended 0%/60 financing to nearly it's entire line of vehicles. At some point they will stop giving away cars and trucks as well as participating in the depreciation. This will be the period of increasing "idle capacity". that is recession. Consumers have maxed out their HELOCs and many banks are ending the programs. If you have paid for gas in cash lately you will be stuck in line behind someone trying to get a few dollars authorized on their Debit card. Undaunted by the bank refusing the debit due to the wife beating them to the grocery store an hour earlier, they try over and over again, holding up the line. Most of these are the ones who already had their credit cards maxed out and shut off. What has Eddie Lampert done? It was supposed to be a Real Estate conglomerate Sears/K-Mart? What is the story on this "CENTRO" of Australia? Are they going to make it? It will be a long period of recovery this time as the consummer is becoming shell shocked by the real inflation not of any real consequence to the geniuses. Ben the Dollar Slayer stated upon assuming the Fed chairmanship,"The Fed's goal will be to maintain the current expectations for inflation" . Early last month the signal was from Ford. This month it is again from the financial markets as the PST & TBT kicked off on May 1st. The ETF is not a way to invest anymore. the ETF is a plce people who have or still have money put their money so that it will maintain it's value. This is what used to be called in third world countries the currency black market. If you had c-notes or fifties you could get 15% more shekels from a Russian trying to accumulate hard currency to send home than you could from an Israeli Bank. Commercial real estate may just beginning to deteriorate! It is a vicious cycle once underway. Idle capacity generating higher unemployment, causing consumption to fall, causing big box stores like the Home Depot slaughter, to close causing more unemployment causing more idle capacity etc. What comes first the idle capacity or the fear, anxiety & uncertainty brought on by huge disruptions in what was the American way of life? We can be sure that no martter who is elected in Nov as the leader of the "Free Money World", they will apply the same formula that has gotten us to this point. Big tax cuts combined with massive spending increases. Maybe one side would fund way more health care, Student loans, food Stamps, and unemployment insurace extensions, while the other will dump a few trillion more down into the cesspool of IRAQ. It is already begun as the champions of the Bear Stearns bondholders explain the idiocy of subsidising homeloans that the lender agrees to partially write down, and helping the Student loan situation. Enrollments are expected to drop at the nations colleges by 10-15% this Fall. Hey a few trillion here and a few trillion there and pretty soon you are talking about electronic money instead of a linen fiat currency. That should help out by saving on printing costs as the national mints now turn out pennies that cost 1.25 cents to make and nickels that cost 7 cents. There is still value in the US Dollar though if only in the pre'82 copper bullion coin Lincoln cent worth 1.5 cents. It is of course illegal to melt them down so that will stop that from happening for sure! In another year or so they will of course disappear. I would be very cautious going into commercial REITs before we emerge from the Summer market. A period that traditionally has defined the lows in market cycles. Reply

    I noted that commercial REITs were stabilizing from a technical momentum standpoint last weekend.

    billrempel.com/2008/05.../

    "REITs are the biggest gainers in terms of momentum, although as a class they still show negative momentum overall in my timeframe. The biggest gainers in REITs are the retail and industrial/office classes, which (yet again!) shows the confidence that “big money” has in the worst being behind us."     Reply

    8 Stocks to Benefit from the Coming Uptrend in Housing [view article]
    LOW

    I bought in Jan. with the intention of seeing a greater demand by the home owner that still wants to live the new home lifestyle. They just won't be paying a contractor anymore, they will be doing it themselves. As a contractor, I know where we get our materials, and it generally isn't at Home Depot or Lowe's, although there is some shopping there. The home owner will not pay the prices we pay for our materials, and the convenience we get from shopping at the suppliers who cater to contractors.

    Now, if you want to see the difference between orange and blue, go for yourself. It will become obvious to you that the orange has done poorly and that Lowe's has done a marvelous job of moving in on HD's proprietary crap.

    HD has done a very bad thing, and that was to move into the realm of the contractor by offering in home services. Way to kill you target market you fools.

    I am sticking with my LOW. Regardless of what home values do, people will still be sticking money into their homes, they just won't be hiring contractors to do it, which means more money going to these companies.

    This should be obvious, but thanks for the article.     Reply

    NRF .. Northstar Realty Finance .. does not belong in this roundup.

    It is confined to commercial real estate, and has no subprime or residential exposure.

    In that area, commercial real estate, however, it is worth a look.

    To all who are looking for the best bottom-sign: look for very low attendance at bank REO auctions. The number of potential bidders will be less than the number of lots being auctioned at bottom, and auction winners will need to hold for 3-4-5 years sans on-cash returns while waiting.

    Doomsters: Unlike equity mkt bottoms, RE bottoms are very wide and grinding in nature. The cicada-like cyclical emergence of infomercial hucksters hyping "get rich quick using OPM" schemes is a classic waypost sign that the bottom is in sight. The reality of their systems is that if they were truly so great you would not be seeing them on late nite TV.

    Do some DD about informational advantages and how in the RE markets it is exceedling rare for the small investor to actually have the necessary informational advantage to overcome the high frictional, and carrying costs or RE.     Reply

    has anyone here ever heard of the" case shiller index ". This is produced by a person who predicted the tech bubble while everyone else thought he was crazy. He thinks the housing market is only at the beginning stages of a terrible downturn. Things are very bad and they are going to get alot worse, dont kid yourself. Reply
