Inland Real Estate Corp. Named Top Dividend Stock
Forbes.com, January 9: The officers and directors of a company tend to have a unique insider's view of the business, and presumably the only reason an insider would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money - maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So when stocks turn up that see insider buying, and are also top ranked, investors are wise to take notice. One such company is Inland Real Estate Corp. (NYSE: IRC), which saw buying by CEO Mark E. Zalatoris.

FORBES, November 29: The obvious play here are the smaller health care REITs, of which there are several. The less obvious, though perhaps more palatable, alternative for individual investors is the class market of so-called non-traded REITs. Nontraded REITs are just what they sound like, at least initially, and what they take away in liquidity, they make up for in yield, which are generally 100 to 200 basis points higher than publicly traded health care REITs. Examples of non-traded REITs include Inland American Real Estate Trust.
