Avalon Bay manages fairly nice apartments. I've been invovled with the construction of some. The ones I've delt with were always around $1,00 a month rent. 

<> Most people think that housing has been in a crash since 2004. But this is not true for the apartment people. In fact AVB's ability to pay back to investors has improved from $.70 per quarter all the way up to $.89 per quarter from 2004 up to the mot recent quarter with the most recent quarter raising the dividend by more than 4 pennies.

Well, in a bull market, tough to short, much less relying on a one-day reversal technique and no confirmation. Next time, I'll use more caution. I did make a small size so no harm done. But I had the stop at 134.9 but unfortunately, Socialpicks doesn't have a mechanism to auto-stop, so take a loss like a baby I will.... WAAAAAAAH, WAAAAAAAAAH!!! LOL. Please implement stop loss ASAP!

    Words from the (investment) wise for the week that was (April 27 – May 3, 2009)

    “Goodbye safe havens, hello risky assets.” This was the refrain of investors’ theme song during the past week. Safe-haven assets were out of favor as better-than-feared corporate earnings and signs of a budding economic recovery emboldened investors’ appetite for reflation trades such as equities and commodities.

    <>Investors’ sentiment improved notwithstanding a number of influences that could potentially disturb financial markets. These included a three-day delay in the release of the stress test results <>< /><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><>< />< /><><>< />< /><><>< />< /><><>< />< /><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><>< /><><>...
