  • BDC Risk Profiles Part 4: Insider And Institutional Ownership [View article]
    @tiki

    "Pretty silly question, IMO".

    Glad you're so erudite that you can belittle another's question. We're all on a learning curve here on SA, some less advanced than others. You, on the other hand, are obviously on the Pinnacle of the Mount. A legend in your own mind, "IMO".

  • RAIT Financial: Misunderstood And Undervalued [View article]
    "Historically devastating" is a unique way to start out a positive article, but once you get past that it makes sense. Good article on a hitherto unnoticed (for me) equity.

  • Has Exelon's Dividend Cut Boosted Its Share Price? [View article]
    @WPSPIKER

    My typo. I meant HIGH 20's.

    Otherwise, I take a dim view of this company and their prospects going forward. Decades of poor management as well as personal experience with this stock 'back when' form the basis for my opinion.

  • Has Exelon's Dividend Cut Boosted Its Share Price? [View article]
    EXC has climbed from the low 20's to the mid 30's since the end of the year, and more or less moves in tandem with the utility sector now.

    Previously, it didn't matter what the market was doing; EXC was in a downward spiral.

    So there's no doubt that the dividend cut, which relieved their financial pressure and credit rating problem has accounted for their bounce back. Whether, given the history of their inept management they can sustain it remains to be seen.

    Thanks.

  • Realty Income Is Simply A Great REIT And Nowhere Close To A Bubble [View article]
    tone....

    I don't think you can paint all REITs with the same brush. Yes, for the mREITS who neither own nor manage any visible assets, rather rely on paper trading and interest rates to make their money, the party may well be over. At the very least, it's 3 a.m. for them.

    The standard REITs should be more stable going forward, unless the economy tanks into another great recession. I wouldn't be afraid to buy stocks such as NNN or O on pullbacks.

    Thanks,

    O is getting into interesting territory from the perspective on somebody (that would be me) who has been waiting for a pullback.

    Blue.....

    Yeah, I did some due diligence on NCT a while back and discovered the FIG symbiosis; in researching them I learned about some of their translucent dealings, which is the reason I didn't invest in NCT in the first place! Thanks for jogging my cobwebby memory.

    DX is a hybrid mREIT. I own it and am very happy with it.

    Had forgotten about Fortress and I agree that they are the weak link, since, for every practical purpose, they manage NCT/NRZ.

    Even considering the eps premium, owning RDS.B is a lot less hassle, which makes it worthwhile to me.

  • Raising A Yellow Flag Over REIT Valuation [View article]
    Adam,

    Good article.

    Your statement about glaring opportunities waning applies to the entire stock market spectrum, not just REITs. I own AIV & would like to sell it, but what to buy at these elevated levels?

    AIV
    "........has only maintained it's payout for four years."

    Wrong.

    AIV has paid a dividend continuously since 1994, although it has been cut drastically along the way. I own the stock.

    Oops. Gotta pay attention! Thanks.

    A little under 10% at the current eps. Not too shabby.
