Diversified property group Australand Ltd has announced a deeply discounted 7-for-10 entitlement offer to raise $475 million.
The non-renounceable, pro rata entitlement offer is priced at 40 cents, a 20 per cent discount from its last traded price.
And ya gotta love a double digit dividend return.
Anyway in at 46.5 cents, hopeful that this down leg is over and that ALZ will return to the top of its 9 month trading range some time over the next 2 or 4 months....buying at 47 cents and under has proved to be profitable over the last 9 months and i see absolutely no reason why it wouldn't continue to be profitable over the next 9 months too.
ALZ up about 20% from the bottom of about 2 months ago...so yet another successful trade completed today with my partial exit from ALZthe share price took a touch over 2 months (so just inside my predicted time range) to reach my upper channel target of 0.535
Interesting that today's mimi break out was on no news, and that the ALZ SP is behaving very predictably (as predicted) and will probably go on to test the very top of the channel...anyway left the profit in with a little capital for the long term capital growth and dividend yield, and intend to go looking for more property stocks that i believe represent a value entry.

What other property stocks look good to you? Are property stocks likely to be the next sector to run after the runs we have had in resources, the banks, retailers etc.
I think over the long term we will look back at this time and see that the lower risk property stocks were great buying and good value in late 09 early 2010, as for what looks good to me...all the property stocks im watching seemed to have bounced except for a few of the larger ones and a large tracking fund.
Personally ive been trying to buy SLF since i exited my ALZ trade but the darn thing wont fall to my buy priceill give it another week.

Would you consider FKP, which is trading at 74 against Dec 09 NTA of 127, and likely earnings of 9-10 cps a good one to be in for both short and long term. Immediate problem with this stock seems to be the low dividend of "at least one cent a share" indicated by the Board, even though it has hinted it will review this low payout.
What is your buy price for SLF, So_Cynical? I hold SLF and have been looking to get some more around $7.95.
Into ALZ at today's open of 2.30 ~ turned out to be very close to today's bottom and actually a little lower than my buy in of a few months ago..so will end up being a slight average down for me.
With today's close of 2.42 im tempted to take the 5.2% in a day and run: as DXS also looks prime for a re-entry and easy 5 >10% or so....these low credit risk, dividend paying property stocks are turning out to be great support buys in this brilliant sideways market...loving the volatility.
(28th-January-2010) ya gotta love a double digit dividend return.
(9th-February-2010) ALZ released there 2009 financial results today and turns out i wont be getting a double digit dividend yieldlooks like ill have to settle for a return of only 8.8% PA as they have announced a Distribution guidance of 4.1 cents per share.
ALZ 3rd quarter report said:In line with previous guidance, it is expected that Group operating profit will be similar in 2010 to that achieved in 2009. The Group expects to pay a distribution of 10.5 cents per security for the second half, resulting in full year distributions of 20.5 cents per security.
GPT has released a proposal to buy Australands property portfolio, no details yet but the announcement certainly had an impact on the ALZ share price closing up 6.29% ($3.21) for the day but hitting a new 4 year intra-day high of $3.34
I closed a long ALZ position on Friday after it ran 6%, completely unaware of the rumour going around.
Oh well. only $5k profit foregone
