I don't guess you can rule out FLOYD as a cause for concern amongst REIT's in the South East; and the weakness in the sector today. The interest rate front and the CPI release tomorrow coupled with the retail sales figures today are also cause for concern. Personally I'm waiting for the third step up in rates on Oct 5th before I'm commiting. I did nibble on the GLB-a's yesterday; that was too tempting; I'm up 3/8 today on those.
