Alexander&Baldwin (ALEX) own, and have owned for many years, 68,000 acres on Maui and 21,000 acres on Kauai held on their books for a few dollars an acre acquisition cost as required. Its value now for real estate is quite a few thousand dollars an acre. They also own the Matson Steamship Line, which has a virtual monopoly on traffic from the mainland to Hawaii and Guam. Non-U.S. ships are not permitted on these runs. Has a 2.4% dividend.

I wonder how much of this debt is going to be refinanced in the next 12 months.

brief answer: a lot. the govt, like consumers, has taken to relying on short-term debt. only $800 billion or so of the debt has a maturity greater than 5 yrs. only $200 billion matures in 20 yrs or later. you can get the details by searching for the publication "Treasury Bulletin", published by the Treasury Dept.
