GLG News by Retail Brokerage Experts (Florida)

This article is not at all important!  It is a feeble excuse for a half baked promotion and/or book review about the life of an eccentric architect who was one of the first designers of enclosed regional malls.  The article is an inaccurate and highly slanted commentary about...

In my opinion, this is the first newspaper article or financial analysis of any kind that has finally "gotten it right"!  The reporters did a very professional research job, (including calling GLG to talk to some of their "experts" under GLG's new media arrangements), and put...

SuperValue owns some of the finest and most dominant local grocers in the country. They opened their first Sunflower store in January of 2006 and announced they intended to open 50 more over the next five years. These stores were a slightly smaller organic format designed to be competitive...

Is "Market Woes" the real reason for this rather unusual about face ? What really went on in Carrefour's board room to convince the impatient hedge funds to back off from their insistence on increasing the debt load?

This is a poorly understood phenomenon, taking place before our eyes, that is likely to become the single most important factor affecting the values of both mall and strip center REITs. It is not unlike the problems resulting from the proposed "monetizing" of the underperforming SHLD stores or...

This is the first indication that Mr. Lampert's ironclad certainty that he knows more about retailing than the entire retail industry, is starting to waiver. To my mind this reshuffling signifies three important things. Thing one is that he will be adding overhead for the first time since buying...

Recent Newsweek and WSJ articles predicting gloom and doom for the shopping center industry were way off base. These writers simply took a few announced store closings (that have been in the works for quite some time) and projected a trend line that would have had the country littered with empty shopping...

This article talks about the real estate-driven credit crunch as being bad for all REITs, but I disagree. The article ignores the fact that over-financing in the shopping center world is hardly a new phenomenon.  This kind of thing has been going on ever since the first shopping...
