TOLD YOU SO!

Analysis of: What Blackstone Bet Means for Real Estate Investors | online.wsj.com

Implications: Blackstone is buying up REITs.  REIT prices going up.  Yawwwnn.

Analysis: Hate to say "I told you so " but - I told you so.  As I predicted in my analysis on 10/6/06 entitled HEDGE FUNDS TO GOBBLE UP REITs, the total value of all public REITs is approximately $500 billion. The hedge funds have raised over $1.3 trillion in the past year and are having trouble finding places to invest these funds.

I predicted there would be a frenzy of REIT acquisitions by the hedge funds as they woke up to the cash flows available.

It has started. Enough said.
