Hi Paul - It's a bit frustrating with HRP as I am already down 12% from my last buy 48 hours ago. First Industrial Realty Trust Inc. (FR) management had some good comments about how they plan to work down and re-capitalize their debt. Stock was up big yesterday but today it appears that they are giving much of it back.

It's not clear how long this recession might last. Some say we are more than 1/2 way through it but I suspect it will last a lot longer than anyone expects.

I am a bit worried about Paulson as he does not sound too convincing about his economic recovery programs. I am anxious to see who the Obama administration selects for treasury secretary. This pick will go along way in providing confidence to the markets.

Here are the REITs I presently own

I have averaged down in all three and established a pretty low cost basis. As long as none of them go bankrupt, these companies have excellent core real estate assets. FR already announced a dividend cut and I expect the same for the others.

I may explore new buys in either preferred shares or senior debt as the common shares are trading like lottery tickets rather than undervalued equity positions.
