Ashford Hospitality Trust: Strong Cash Flow

Great analysis! I too am long the common. The concern I have always had is their ability to handle their long term debt. A rather unscientific analysis of their financials seems to indicate that they can simply extend the debt coming due and at worse since it is nonrecourse, give the lenders the keys.
What is your take on their ability to deal with upcoming maturities?
Thanks

Foot Locker Inc. Missteps

Actually, there has been significant insider buying and over the years when FL has a problem they do deal with it eventually. It seems awfully cheap here but with this market, it will probably go lower!
