Out of ISI this morning.

     

    REITS - Downgrades on Valuation:
    * SLG: To Hold from Buy, PT $50. 13% gain in Dec. rallied stock above our $50 PT. However, NYC office fundamentals appear to be bottoming and should improve during 2010.
    * MAC: To Hold from Buy, PT $35. Simon-GGP deal helped MAC outperform in Dec. rallying 20% during the month. Given the stock is trading $.95 above our PT, we see limited upside or downside.
    * CPT: To Sell from Hold. Stock gained 13% in the past 2 ½ weeks and outperformed the apartment REIT sector by 600bp and REIT index by 1,000bp.
    * DLR: Raising '10 FFO by $.10 to $3.35/share and PT increases $1 from $54 to $55. DLR entered into an agreement to purchase three data centers (550,000sf) for $375mn, which translates into a 10.7% cap rate. DLR also announced a $400mn ATM equity offering program.

    Thanks for the info

    So I went and looked at the component list for  the $DJUSRE and I didn't fine any of those you listed  in the top 10.  That index was indeed down for the day.  I guess the down grades set the tone for all the REITS in the index...  cheers.
