LXP -- I made the other call. Sold the shares in my taxable account because when the taxable special div is paid, the price should drop by a corresponding amount. Why do I want a 2008 taxable dividend and a larger capital loss than I have now? So I sold my taxable shares and will reinvest in a different REIT. Since reits have been overly hammered this year, there are many substitutes for LXP. HPT and HRP are better bets, IMO. Also, insider sales at LXP, so I sold my IRA shares also.

HTE note -- refinery margins will recover. no worries here

I noticed that release also, Paul. Wondering if the div will be the full amount of the taxable gain described or not. After the stock goes ex on the special I doubt if they can continue the same normal rate as before.
