Nobody saw this coming

    And you don't really hear much chatter about REITs right now.  My belief?  Once silver and gold popped, there weren't too many safe havens left: AAPL, CMG, PCLN.  Now those are popped.  This really is the last safe haven left!  I could "picture" the fundamental stories for silver, AAPL, CMG, and PCLN.  I have trouble with the compelling growth story for SPG (I don't know too much about it though).  Can somebody enlighten me?

    REITS

    I used to be short the Reits in 2007 to 2008 to just before they crashed, so I missed the collapse. Just think about it, what is different now to justify the current price versus the situation when it was in the $20.-. So it seems a matter of time, first to give the ghost in a deflation event are commodities and commodities related stocks, then financials and last the general indexes and a few stocks deemed "safe".
