well run company
however, retail will get ugly and not priced into this stock yet
also have a little more leverage than you'd like

Well run, solid company. Real estate and the economy will start to bounce back over the next 18 mos. WRI will do well again as retail sales start to rise.

This stock violates my large cap rule. It's a growing small cap that pays a great and consistent dividend in a economically resilient part of the nation.

I have not done a formal valuation for these stocks. They are picked only on the feeling that "surely we can't go anywhere but up from here". They are all trading near their 52 week lows and are large market capitalization stocks that pay consistent dividends. I'm testing my guts with these.

Long term yes. Beaten up and battered but long term money is safe buying at $31 and a 52 week low. As recession proof as a retail REIT can get with major holdings in grocery anchored neighborhood and community strip centers and power centers.

Not sexy properties but solid performers and a conservative approach to outlast the downturns. PE of 22 and solid increasing dividends year over year. Safe for a long term holder and at this discounted rate will outperform the market over 5+ years.

There is a WRI property in my town. There are a lot of top name retailers in this shopping center and it has never had an empty storefront in the 8 years I've lived here. Residential real estate may be getting hammered right now, but commercial real estate is still going strong.
