[13:36] {Threei} Fed's Lacker: Commercial Real estate likely to be a sizeable drag on growth in near term; housing and auto sector no longer causing a drag for growth
[13:36] {Threei} that's a bild statement
[13:36] {Threei} bold
[13:37] {dino} what world does he live in
[13:37] {strider} I don't understand why SRS doesn't go up.
[13:37] {Threei} ummm
[13:37] {Threei} because market doesn't go dopwn?
[13:38] {Threei} what do you think SRS is? :)
[13:38] {nemo} financials are a big part of srs
[13:38] {strider} ultrashort real estate
[13:38] {nemo} has many of the components of skf
[13:38] {Threei} so why would it go up?
[13:39] {dino} reits have been doing very well
[13:39] {strider} because of lagging realestate?
[13:39] {dino} talking heads strider the big reits are rocking
[13:39] {strider} But isn't commercial doing poorly?
[13:40] {nemo} so isn't the economy...what's your point?
[13:40] {dino} not the stocks
06[13:40] * nemo slaps strider around a bit with a large trout
06[13:40] * nemo slaps strider around a bit with a large trout
[13:40] {dino} residential is the drag
[13:40] {strider} eat a fish, nemo.
[13:41] {nemo} that's cannabilism to me
[13:41] {strider} .what's your point?
[13:41] {nemo} har har har
[13:42] {strider} I keep watching SRS, and O (the stock) waiting for a dump. Just simple minded, I guess.
[13:42] {nemo} there's no reason for stocks to go down, no other alternatives
[13:43] {strider} live in igloos.
[13:43] {nemo} have to make new ones every year
[13:43] {strider} Or you could rent my rental house. IT's empty.
[13:45] {dino} strider, most of the big "commercial" real estate companies issued equity months ago, they are fine and moving up
[13:45] {nemo} besides...they know they'll get bailed out because they're backed up by the big banks
[13:45] {dino} it is the banks dumping the houses that remains the problem, imo
[13:46] {nemo} or not dumping them
[13:46] {dino} i think equity issuance took care of that nemo
[13:47] {nemo} yeah, they don't have to, so no write offs to reserve ratios
[13:49] {strider} OK.........obviously I don't understand such stuff.
[13:49] {nemo} Vad'll explain it to you
[13:50] {strider} you mean trades AND knows stuff?
