Hey fiveoh --
That was a hell of a move today for DLR. I have never really studied that REIT, but I've read enough about it that it has been on my "if I ever have a lot of spare time and can get down to my "C" list I'll have a closer look" list. So when I saw the plunge I was very tempted to buy a few shares, even as a speculative, short-term play. The news doesn't seem so terrible to me as to warrant a 15 percent decline, so perhaps it will see a bit of a bounce in the coming days or weeks. But I held off. Like most folks, the REITs that I do hold have gotten killed this year, and I am not really in the mood to add more exposure.
I guess you're confident in the company since you were interested in adding more shares, but for the tax issue. Can you share some of your thoughts about DLR generally?
