Chart of the Week: Bloomberg REIT Index

The Bloomberg REIT Index, a broad based REIT Index with 160
members, is testing critical support near the 195 level (red and green lines),
notes Technimentals Kevin Lane. As seen below the rate of price change via the
RSI indicator started dropping while the index made new highs and continues to
drop.

This continued weakening in momentum looks to be a negative,
particularly for a group that has had a strong multi-year run. A close below
this critical support could

lead to a hard correction here.

    I’m a movie buff ,Barry, and my vote on the reason for the decline in viewers is the quality. I almost prefer to see movies alone, and I’d go every week if a movie was worthwhile. I don’t wait until something is on DVD for the home-movie experience. The current crop of movies are just not worth the “investment” of time, energy and snacks.

    take a look at the research report mentioned in the economist some 3 months ago.

    only 29 of 900 or so movies in 2004 were family rated … all were a success.

    big budgets and big names = losses

    as do R rated movies

    the article is entitled something like.. why do hollywood bosses ignore the evidence?
