What's really great about message boards like these is the ignore user option. Where'd you go? It's like you don't exist anymore.

I'm long but I'm 100% sure you're a dope.

What's your point? REITs are often highly levered and the 28.5M shares represents 8% of the float. Fact is, despite the unpleasant earnings report, at the end of the day the stock declined only 7%. I've held plenty of stocks that dropped 25% or more on an earnings miss and a lot more than 8% of the shares were traded. This was a modest takedown by any measure.

Lawyers are the only people who make money on shareholder suits. Can't trade on yesterday's news. Fact is, 70 percent of the float was churned today. Current price is the lowest it's ever been. Previous all time low was $10.16 in 2006. For people buying today this is a gift.

If McDonald's will let you work double shifts, go for broke.

That's correct. Including you.

Wishful thinking will get you nowhere.

Sure you are.
