Sold half my (SMN: 35.17 +1.79%) @ $30.50. Moving on…
Bought some puts on (DECK: 113.69 +0.65%). Down with ugly boots.
(SLG: 86.00 -0.58%) is running hard on their positive earnings report yesterday. This should be good news for the other NYC heavy REITS, (VNO: 99.46 -1.11%) (BXP: 102.47 -1.41%) and (BPO: 20.70 -1.33%).
UPDATE: Bought (FXP: 83.00 +1.37%) [...]
Remember, people that think (SRS: 85.75 +1.18%) isn’t a buy, think that Commercial Real Estate as a sector deserves to be up more than the 7.35% that it is up so far this year. That’s right, (URE: 29.19 -1.72%) is up 7.35% for the year, which is the index that SRS is the inverse of. [...]
I feel like I haven’t seen a less than 100 point up/down day in a long time. Kind of refreshing.
I got crushed on (MON: 114.25 -2.22%) today, but didn’t blow out of the position like I had planned early in the morning. I made some money back by buying (UYM: 76.12 -2.37%) @ $78.50 and selling at $81.50. [...]
I know that I said I’d wait until (SRS: 85.75 +1.18%) was sub $90 to buy more, but I’ve decided to add today @ $92.50. I just don’t see why groups like (CBG: 13.07 -0.68%), (VNO: 99.46 -1.11%), (MAC: 61.93 +0.03%), (PLD: 43.06 -0.32%), etc… have run up so much the past week, on basically [...]
I am unsure as to what type of position I will be taking on the market this week.
One idea I’ve been flirting with is shorting (PFG: 45.79 +0.88%). Principal is trading at a P/E that is higher than 83% of the other Life Cos. Not only that, but it is higher by a wide margin, [...]
buylo made a comment about possible individual stock short ideas. And then Jakegint mentioned a stock pick that I kind of disagreed with. It was a retail heavy REIT, (CBL: 21.69 -0.69%). When I thought about retail heavy REITs, I thought about how a lot of retail leases are structured with a percentage of retail [...]
This is a non commercial real estate post. Cardica (CRDC: 8.14 +2.39%) has PRODUCTS for heart surgery/bypasses that:
Minimize trauma to both the graft and target vessel;
Can be used without interrupting blood flow in the coronary artery or clamping the aorta, which can lead to complications, such as stroke;
Reduce time required for anastomosis;
Produce consistent, reproducible anastomoses, largely independent [...]
