The Camptown Races
[July/August 2006]
Five months into the 2006 Real Estate Portfolio Stock Challenge, REITCafe's Anatole Pevnev is still setting the pace, maintaining a slim lead ahead of Art Havener of A&G Edwards & Sons. Pevnev's five picks—FelCor Lodging Trust, Inc (NYSE: FCH), Kimco Realty Corporation (NYSE: KIM), Corporate Office Properties Trust (NYSE: OFC), Post Properties, Inc. (NYSE: PPS) and ProLogis (NYSE: PLD) have proven to be prudent choices with healthy returns. By the end of May, Stephanie Krewson of BB&T Capital Markets and Ralph Block of Phocas Financial made a jump in the ranks, while Peter Slatin's and Alesco Global Advisors Jay Leupp's portfolios keep hope alive.
