www.reit.com The May issue of REIT magazine is now available in print and online, in time for the upcoming REITWeek 2011: NAREIT's Investor Forum. The issue focuses on "Building a Better Nest Egg" and the key role REITs are playing in new approaches to retirement planning. One such approach is detailed in BYU Professor Craig Israelsen's new book "7Twelve: A Diversified Investment Portfolio with a Plan." Israelsen, interviewed in the magazine's "Capital Markets" column, has identified seven broad asset classes (US equity, non-US equity, real estate, resources, US bonds, non-US bonds and cash) and within those classes are 12 actionable investments (this includes REITs). All 12 of the investment options should be weighted equally in the portfolio, according to Israelsen. Along similar lines, "Retirement 2.0" explores the changing attitudes toward real estate, and particularly REITs, in modern retirement plans. One company that has fully embraced the value of REITs is PIMCO. As part of this article, PIMCO's Stacy Schaus and Bob Greer discussed where REITs fit in amidst the new normal in the defined contribution world. Big changes have been the norm as of late for General Growth Properties (NYSE: GGP). Once a stalwart in the retail REIT landscape, the company fell on hard times amidst the financial crisis. Since then the company has filed for bankruptcy, been in and out of acquisition talks, restructured and brought in new management. Now back on the NYSE, GGP is "Back from <b>...</b>

the Wall Street Journal reports...Simon Properties Group's (SPG) David Simon is making Judge Allan Gropper's life difficult. The mall operator he runs Wednesday raised the stakes in the battle for bankrupt rival General Growth Properties (GGP) by effectively matching a bid from Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) and other shareholders. That leaves the judge to decide which bid he prefers, on April 29, to take GGP out of bankruptcy. Simon has the edge on valuation because its offer with hedge fund Paulson & Co. injects the same amount of cash but forgoes warrants sought by the Brookfield consortium. However, it also comes with an added risk: antitrust scrutiny the Wall Street Journal reports...Toyota Motor (TM) said it has started conducting safety tests on all of its sport-utility vehicles sold worldwide after it suspended sales of its Lexus GX 460 model amid concerns that the vehicle could roll over at high speeds the Los Angeles Times reports...Twitter says it's adding 300000 users every day and it now has over 105M registered users, up over 1500% from a year ago Intel (INTC) shares are at a 52-week high.

4/1/2010-Reuters reported Thursday that General Growth Properties (NYSE:GGP) has filed a plan to exit bankruptcy independently and has laid out bidding procedures.
