The magazine continues just a few more sentences by describing the difficulty in analyzing REITs because of their category mixes and local economic trends.       Good points   Money   magazine.  &nbsp;   That is why I like investing in REITs that are in a category I think I understand and geographically focused on the region of the country where I live.  &nbsp;   However, sometimes this approach is limiting.  &nbsp;   Be open-minded, and the REIT Media directory is designed to help you find REITs by industry and location.     ]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:21:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.reitmedia.com/reit-blog/reits-may-be-ready-to-show-you-some-money/</link><guid>http://www.reitmedia.com/reit-blog/reits-may-be-ready-to-show-you-some-money/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over at Seeking Alpha they are Worried about Taubman Centers]]></title><description><![CDATA[  The folks over at Seeking Alpha just posted a noteworthy blog about the future of Taubman Centers.&nbsp; The author concludes that the next few weeks will be important for this retail REIT and Taubman may be the first mall casualty of the current economic conditions.

It would seem to be a good sign that REITs can successfully go to the investment community in a recession-like economy.     ]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:23:34 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.reitmedia.com/reit-blog/two-reit-ipos-off-the-shelf/</link><guid>http://www.reitmedia.com/reit-blog/two-reit-ipos-off-the-shelf/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Penev and His REIT Volatility Index Make it on CNBC.com]]></title><description><![CDATA[  Since Anatole Penev didn't mention this great piece of journalism over on his site, REIT Cafe, I thought I would mention it on REIT Media.&nbsp; As part of a March 6th article titled, &quot;REITs Are Looking Up&quot; on CNBC.com, Anatole is quoted, &quot;If your investment horizon is five to ten years there's usually not a bad time [to invest in REITs].&quot;&nbsp; This is the most simple and best historical truth about investing in REITs.
