You could also argue that none of the investors should have committed capital if they didn't expect management to grow the portfolio. The secondary offerings you mention may reduce leverage (and we're finding out at the WRONG time that leverage is a killer. You're right - the deals don't exactly work to investors favor but they do help the underwriters and give managers a new lease on life.

They are getting rid of the credit risk and cha-chinging the underwriting fees. REIT investors loving it!(I'm winking at you Cohen&Steers!)Good money after bad. Is that the way capitalism is supposed to work? You could argue that STWD should get a slight premium to the rest of the space, as at least they are working with a clean slate. I guess....... Still a POS. How about all of these REIT secondaries that were going directly to pay off credit lines at the banks that were doing the offerings?

Do you ever buy REIT's on the initial offering? I've found that while many IPOs offer exceptional trading opportunities, the REITS are usually much more attractive a few weeks to a few months after the deal is complete. Agree? Disagree?
