Yep, that one is going to save us all!

It will allow foreign investors to sink their money into domestic real estate funds, but not to own the actual property?

LOL!

Point of No Return or Perfect Buying Opportunity?

In my limited experience of 8 or so years, public companies will never pay a dividend over what can be gotten on Treasuries for more than a quarter or two. Regardless of their cash flow or profits, if Mr. Market drops their price so low that they start cutting into the money going to buy our national debt because they are pating way more, then they will slash their dividend.


Not sure why, but that seems to be the case. Pressure from "above", perhaps?
