Best Buy To Downsize Brick-and-Mortar Footprint | www.latimes.com

I could not resist commenting on the problems associated with the recent article in the LA Times about Best Buy's announcement to start an aggressive program of subleasing a portion of their stores to others. I was amazed that so few business analyst chose to comment on what is one of the most massive downsizing effort yet announced.

May Las Vegas Data: On the cusp of a change?

June 21, 2011

May real estate data for Las Vegas is a mixed bag of positives and negatives. And, while there is still much more negative than positive news, we may be just on the cusp of a better future. Yes, unemployment is still horrendous at 12.4%, but there is some growth in the construction job market.

Bidders Eye Mall Portfolio | www.morningstar.co.uk

I love this article from the June 8 WSJ because it confirms what I have been saying since the CRE bubble burst. For the first time we are beginning to see the market wake up to the fact that good malls are going to remain good or get better while poor malls will continue in their death spiral.

Whatever Happened To The Dillard's REIT?

May 24, 2011

I recently got a call from a reporter in Arkansas who was writing an article about their hometown department store icon, Dillard's. The reporter asked me about the much publicized REIT that was announced early in 2011. He caught me off guard and I had to admit I really did not have any news to report on the current status. After the call I got busy and researched the matter and wanted to share my findings with GLG News readers.

After announcing yet another decline in profits, market share and sales at their annual meeting, and watched their stock price drop by 9.9% to the still highly inflated price of $75.88, the media swallowed Mr. Lampert's cool-aid once again and focused on management's hope for the future.
