Richard:

That was a quick drop of 60 points in the ^rms. At this point is has to be interest rate related with the 10 year bond falling off a ledge also and the yield increasing from 3.7 to 4.17 on it.

I see it as buying drying up first...i.e competition from the federal issues. This trend will have to run it's course until a different trend is in place.

I'm just sitting tight on my apartment reits thinking that the drop will be approx 1/2 of the index after this correction is over...and will just average in as it declines.

Any idea of what sectors will take the worst hit. Consumer spending seems flat so I am thinking shopping malls will take a hit. After that office space as the recovery matures and as outsourcing will kick in..

any thoughts on other sectors..gregor.
