Paul, I'm not overly fond of SHU, but the others all seem pretty good, with HME having the best price strength for the last few years, as it never really dropped 25% from the highs like the rest. Except for SHU and TCO, these are all around 5% or less from their high, so there isn't much upside unless REITs really run. I'd prefer SPG to TCO at these levels. Jim, I was in and out of SSS for the dividend only. Even though BOY is under my target buy, the ^RMS is in free-fall looking for some technical level. I imagine that there will be a little support around 341 and strong support somewhere in the 326-335 range. If the leaders have backed off 15% or more from their highs, I'd rather buy them then BOY as they will go up faster and further most of the time. Then when they slow down, I will jump on BOY if it is still depressed. Almost all the blue chip REITs were down today except CUZ, which was already down 10% recently. Richard
