It may be a buy, but the lower risk strategy is to let it drop a few days, maybe another 7-10 points, then scale in.

I've seen several articles suggesting that commercial RE is the next shoe to drop. I don't think the Fed move today is going to change that. I agree with patron though, best to wait and see what happens over the next few days, this thing could be a big ole bear market rally.

FWIW, since I bothered to look it up, here are the top ten holdings of the index.

Simon Property Group Inc 6.67%
ProLogis 5.58%
Vornado Realty Trust 4.29%
Boston Properties Inc 3.75%
Equity Residential 3.40%
General Growth Properties Inc 3.26%
Public Storage 3.24%
Host Hotels & Resorts Inc 3.05%
Kimco Realty Corp 2.74%
Plum Creek Timber Co Inc REIT 2.73%

bought SRS today, market just seems weak to me, if the liquidity injection can't get a rally going, what will?

As as aside, SRS bounces around like crazy. Up a full buck in like five minutes, then back down just like that. My ticker changes the bid and ask like 20 cents each time. Could have gotten it a buck cheaper (110 instead of 111) if I had had more patience.
