Stock Pick: BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. (BMR)

This REIT is paying 14% in dividends.  The problem with REIT’s in this economy is the decline of real estate prices.  However, BMR specializes in acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry.   I checked that many of its tenents are very mildly impacted by the recession.  In general, the life science industry is still in the growth stage as the baby boomers are entering retirement.  Therefore, I think the stock is over-sold […]

Some thoughts on the Current Economy

I’ve been following Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, George Soros, Warren Buffett and Marc Faber lately.  I’ve also been watching Obama and Bernanke’s speeches.   And here are some thoughts about current state of the economy and where it is going: The recession is deflationary because the current price levels are the results of the excesses of the consumption and credit bubble.   After the bubble busted, there are an over-supply and over-capacity of everything:  oil, houses, cars, cloths, over-paid employees.  Deflation […]
