		<description><![CDATA[The rating downgrade of Spain and a slew of broadly favorable earnings reports will try to grab investors’ attention today, but they are unlikely to take the spotlight away from this morning’s mixed first quarter GDP report. Despite the GDP reading’s strong internals, the ‘headline’ miss will likely be the major driver of today’s trading action. The disappointing aspect of the report is that it is not weak enough to warrant Fed action, but also not strong enough to make investors feel good about the Fed economy. My overall takeaway from the report is that looking at it from the perspective of ‘what Bernanke will do,’ it is not QE-friendly.

		<description><![CDATA[We have changed our long-term recommendation for CBRE Group, Inc. (CBG) from Neutral to Outperform as we anticipate the stock to perform well above the broader market. CBRE Group reported relatively strong first quarter 2012 results, with recurring earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $0.01. CBRE Group is the largest commercial real estate services firm, with leading full-service operations in major metropolitan areas throughout the world. The company operates as a single-source provider of real estate solutions with a broad range of real estate product and services and an extensive knowledge of domestic and international real estate markets. Our long-term Outperform recommendation on the stock indicates that it would perform well above the broader market. Our target price of $22.00, 17.5X 2012 EPS, reflects this view.

		<description><![CDATA[While we do have some favorable-looking headlines out of Europe this morning, indicating that Greece is making progress in its talks with the private creditors, the focus today will be on the U.S. economy. The headlines on that count are on the weak side. In its first read on the fourth quarter of 2011, the commerce department reported that the U.S. economy expanded at a lower than expected 2.8% pace in the last quarter of 2011, up from the third quarter’s 1.8% growth rate. The expectation was for the GDP number to be 3%, with many looking for growth rates above that level. Weak spending by the government and consumers drove the miss. The overall composition of the 2.8% growth is also of relatively lower quality, with corporate investments coming ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the latest report published by Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (JLL), a leading real estate investment trust (REIT), the U.S. office sector witnessed a spurt in market fundamentals in fourth quarter 2011 with a significant positive absorption and increase in occupancy and rents, although the performance remained relatively dispersed by both geographical location and market types. Absorption refers to total square feet leased over a specific time period in a specific geographic area, while positive absorption is a measure of the net square feet leased after taking into consideration the space vacated during the period.

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s heavy economic schedule will likely keep the markets focused on domestic matters. The good start provided by the positive initial Jobless Claims report should help give stocks positive momentum today. The GDP revision was on the weak side, but given the stale nature of the data and the relatively no-so-bad internals of report, stocks will most likely take it in the stride. Other key economic reports on deck for a little later release include the Conference Board’s Leading Indicators and final read on the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey for December. Of the pre-market releases, the most favorable reading was on the initial Jobless Claims front, which continued the positive momentum of the last few weeks by falling to the lowest level since April 2008. Contrary to expectations ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A nation burdened by $15 trillion of national debt and an unemployment rate of 9% has resorted to bariatric surgery of its budget. The administration is catching up to reduce flab in the budget, and the defense budget seems to stand out. In what is one of the final steps, the Pentagon has submitted to President Barack Obama a draft of its strategic budget review before its release. In the review, the Pentagon is seeking to trim about $450 billion in defense spending over 10 years to meet deficit reduction targets. The review, which will go to Congress in early 2012, will be accompanied by a defense funding plan through fiscal 2017. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expects fiscal 2013-2017 defense budgets will be reduced by about $260 billion as part ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, markets slipped heavily lower as fresh hints of weakness in the European and domestic economy crippled investor sentiment. However, it was not just Friday’s downtrend that was a matter of concern. With each benchmark losing around 12% for the quarter, this has been the worst quarter since the financial crisis in 2008. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 240.6 points or 2.2% to finish the day at 10,913.38.The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) dropped 2.5% to close at 1,131.42. The Nasdaq Composite Index sank 2.6% to settle at 2,415.40. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped 10% to trade at 42.96, logging its highest close since mid-August. On the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 8.58 billion shares, considerably ]]></description>

A rally in the late session helped the blue-chip index beef up its gains, while sentiment got a boost from encouraging economic data and Germany’s approving greater funds for the euro-zone bailout. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 1.3% to settle at 11,153.98. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.8% to close at 1,160.40. However, the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index missed out on a seat in the green, declining 0.4% to finish the day at 2,480.76. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) shed some points to hover slightly over 39. It was a busy day of trading on the Street with consolidated volumes on the New ]]></description>

Additionally, the S&#38;P 500 hit its lowest point for the year and entered the negative zone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lost 265 points or 2.2% to close at 11,866.62. The blue-chip index is now down 6.7% since July 22 and with eight-consecutive days of losses this is its longest losing streak since October 2008. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) turned negative for the year and ended at its lowest level for the same period. The index was down to 1,254.05, after it shed 2.6%. This was also the sharpest one-day decline for the index since August 2010 and the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (CBG) recently announced that it has acquired ING Clarion Real Estate Securities (CRES) from Netherlands-based ING Groep NV (ING). The acquisition was funded by a combination of cash and borrowings under its secured credit facility and the company also raised a new debt of approximately $800 million for this purpose in March 2011. The company further expects to complete the pending acquisition of ING’s Real Estate Investment Management (REIM) operations in Europe and Asia by the end of fiscal 2011. The total purchase price for the ING CRES and REIM businesses is approximately $940 million.

Additionally, Brookfield also renewed a seven-year lease for a 311,000 square feet property at the Continental Center I. In 2006, Brookfield had acquired this 1.3 million square feet office tower and leased it to Chevron. After the completion of this asset sale, Chevron, which was once the tenant now becomes the owner of the 50- storied tower. Based in San Ramon, California, Chevron through its subsidiaries, engages in petroleum, chemicals, mining, power generation, and energy operations worldwide. Chevron already boasts a presence in Houston and with this deal has further strengthened its presence in Houston. While on the other hand, Brookfield intends to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investor sentiment was bolstered on Friday, as gas prices eased off and economic data struck a positive note. However, the modest gains ahead of the Memorial Day holiday were not strong enough to prevent a fourth consecutive week of losses for the indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.3% to settle at 12,441.58. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.4% and ended at 1,331.10. The Nasdaq Composite Index finished at 2,796.86, after rising 0.5%. Markets rose for the third consecutive day, but the modest gains failed to wash out the losses suffered earlier in the week. This was the first time since February 2010 that markets have been in the red for four consecutive weeks. For the week, The Dow, S&#38;P 500 and Nasdaq were ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In March, Personal Income rose 0.4%, matching from the 0.4% rise in both February and March, but only after the March numbers were revised down from a rise of 0.5%. The increase was in line with the consensus expectation of a 0.4% increase. Meanwhile, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) rose by 0.4%, lower than the consensus expectation of a 0.5% rise. That is a deceleration from the 0.5% rise in March and the 0.8% increase in February. Of course, if spending is rising at the same rate as income, it means that the savings rate is unchanged. The savings rate remained at 4.9%, it was as high as 5.8% in September. The savings rate is well above the dangerously low levels that prevailed from 2004 to 2008.

		<description><![CDATA[Weak economic data failed to drag markets lower as investor sentiment was lifted by the technology and retail sectors.  With initial claims surged and the economy expanding at just 1.8%, the employment situation remains a major area of concern amidst a sluggish economy. These concerns had dented the markets in the opening session, but strong performance from the consumer discretionary index and technology sector and modest support from the energy sector helped the indices rebound. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 76 points in the opening session but recouped its losses in the later trading session to close at 12,402.76, up 0.1%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) climbed up 0.4% to finish at 1,325.69. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,782.92, after gaining 0.8%. Volumes continued to ]]></description>

The strong quarterly revenues marked a solid start to fiscal 2011 as first quarter has been historically the seasonally weakest quarter for the company. Total revenues in the reported quarter were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company reported a net income of $34.4 million or 11 cents per share during the quarter, compared with a net loss of $6.6 million or 2 cents in the year-ago period. Excluding non-recurring items, CB Richard Ellis reported a net income of $40.6 million or 13 cents per share ]]></description>

This deal leads to business growth opportunities across South Africa and its neighboring countries.

		<description><![CDATA[According to a report published by CB Richard Ellis Group Inc. (CBG), the world’s largest commercial real estate services company (on the basis of 2010 revenues), global real estate investors are increasingly focusing on commercial real estate (CRE) properties in Germany, marking a paradigm shift from the erstwhile strong market in the U.K. Earlier in 2010, the U.K. had led a market recovery from recession in Europe in terms of both transaction volumes and property values. However, recent surveys have unearthed that investors are currently concentrating on other lucrative markets such as Germany, possibly due to the degree of capital value growth already realized in the U.K. In its report, CB Richard Ellis has anticipated about 32% of the global investors to purchase in Germany in 2011, up from 18% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Domestic economic data could not support the indices’ upward momentum on Monday as markets snapped back to red in the final minutes, hurt by cautious corporate guidance and geopolitical tensions. Consumer spending edged ahead while inflation soared to hit new highs post June 2009. Investors’ apprehension against betting big bucks was highlighted as volumes touched their lowest levels for the year. The Dow Jones Industrial average sank 0.2% and closed at 12,197.88. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 and Nasdaq shed 0.3% and 0.5% to finish the day at 1,310.19 and 2,730.68, respectively. Geopolitical concerns kept investors’ fears about volatility alive with only 5.9 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the lowest volumes till date for 2011. On the NYSE, nine stocks declined for every six that advanced. ]]></description>

Both January and December were revised higher. Previously the increase in December was thought to be 0.4% and for January 1.0%. However, most of the increase was due to the 2.0% cut in the employee side of the payroll tax. Payroll taxes &#8212; and other contributions to social insurance &#8212; are counted as a subtraction from personal income, so if they fall, personal income rises.

Jones Lang reported record revenues in fiscal 2010 and expects to maintain the momentum in 2011 as well, with continued recovery in the market fundamentals. Jones Lang LaSalle operates as a single-source provider of real estate solutions with a broad range of real estate product and services, and an extensive knowledge of domestic and international real estate markets. In addition, Jones Lang has a strong balance sheet that enables it to continually invest in value drivers that act as key differentiators against tough competition.

However, most of the increase was due to the 2.0% cut in the employee side of the payroll tax. Payroll taxes, and other contributions to social insurance, are counted as a subtraction from personal income. So if they fall, personal income rises. Of the $133.2 billion increase in overall personal income, $94.9 billion was due to the payroll tax cut. Meanwhile, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) rose by 0.2%, lower than the consensus expectation of a 0.4% rise.

The new revised numbers are in bold, the original estimates are in normal type and in parenthesis right after them. Thus it will be easy to see where the changes in GDP came from, not just relative to prior quarters, but relative to the first estimate. New commentary will be in italics. In the fourth quarter, the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.8% (3.2%), up from 2.6% in the third quarter, and up from the 1.7% pace in the second three months of the year.

In addition, we got upward revisions to both the September and August numbers of +0.1 each. Meanwhile, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) rose by 0.4%, lower than the consensus expectation of a 0.6% rise. That is an acceleration from the 0.3% rise in September but below the rise of 0.5% in August. Of course, if income is rising faster than spending, it means that the savings rate is rising. It rose to 5.7% from 5.6%. Over the long run, a higher savings rate is good for the country, and is desperately needed as the savings rate has been in more or ]]></description>

The report anticipates that office properties in Moscow will increase by more than 20% in 2011, while those in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Paris, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Washington DC are expected to rise by 10% to 20%. The Jones Lang report further expects that direct investment in global commercial real estate (CRE) prices will surge by 25% to 35% year over year to over $350 billion in 2011 – the highest such levels recorded since 2008. The recovery is anticipated to be driven by growth in the Asia-Pacific Region. ]]></description>

The growth rate was in line with consensus expectations, and frankly a bit better than I was expecting. So how did we get to the 2.0% overall growth? What parts of the economy were growing and thus adding to growth, and which parts were acting as a drag on growth? Since the different parts of the economy are of very different sizes, and some tend to be relatively stable, while others can be very volatile, I will focus on the contributions to growth. In other words: growth points, not the percentage growth rates. After all, a ]]></description>

This was the biggest increase since April (also up 0.5%). It was also well above the consensus expectation of a 0.3% increase. Meanwhile, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) rose by 0.4%, slightly higher than the consensus expectation of a 0.3% rise. That matched the July rise, is a significant acceleration from the unchanged reading in June and well above the rise of 0.1% in May and the 0.1% decline in April. Of course, if income is rising faster than spending, it means that the savings rate is rising. It rose to 5.8% from 5.7%. The graph below (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) shows the long-term history of the savings rate (3-month moving ]]></description>

The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from nonresidential fixed investment, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), federal government spending, private inventory investment, residential fixed investment and exports. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP Incorporatedreased. The deceleration in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected a sharp acceleration in imports and a sharp deceleration in private inventory investment that were partly offset by an upturn in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the first quarter, GDP grew at 3.0% (instead of the initially reported 3.2%). This, while slower than the 5.6% growth in the fourth quarter, is actually stronger once you look at the composition of the growth.  However the composition of the growth in the second look is not as good as it was in the first look. For instance, personal consumption expenditures (PCE) added 2.42 points to growth, which while revised down from 2.55 originally, is still a substantial increase over the 1.16 point contribution in the fourth quarter and the 1.95 point addition in the third quarter. That said, I found the overall revision to be disappointing. In looking at the revisions to the February and March data in various reports as the April data was released, it ]]></description>

While the company has surprised on the Zacks Consensus 4 quarters in a row, the outlook for the second quarter is a bit more dicey as the Chinese government tries to cool down a building housing bubble. Is it crazy to even think of investing in a Chinese real estate company right now? E-House offers a range of services to the Chinese real estate industry including acting as the primary sales agent, the secondary broker, consulting, advertising and investment management. E-House has an extensive geographic coverage, operating in more than 100 cities across China through a network of real estate professionals.

		<description><![CDATA[We are changing our long-term recommendation for Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) to Outperform as we anticipate the stock to perform well above the broader market. Jones Lang operates as a single-source provider of real estate solutions with a broad range of real estate products and services, and has an extensive knowledge of domestic and international real estate markets. In addition, Jones Lang has a strong balance sheet that enables it to continually invest in value drivers that act as key differentiators against its rivals. Our long-term Outperform recommendation on the stock is supported by our target price of $90.00, or 28.6X our 2010 EPS estimate. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

(CBG), the world’s largest commercial real estate firm, has decided to consolidate its operations in Uptown Dallas and bring its development and acquisitions divisions under a single roof. The company is currently in the final stages of negotiation to lease about 90,000 square feet of space at 2100 McKinney, a 375,000 square feet office building on McKinney Avenue in Dallas.

CB Richard Ellis reported a net income of $64.3 million or 21 cents a share, compared to a net loss of $1,089.4 million or $4.70 per share a year earlier. The year-ago loss was mainly attributable to intangible asset impairment charges of $1,159.4 million. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.3 billion, a growth of 1% year-over-year.

The November rate was revised higher from the original 0.5%. Savings Rate Rising If income is rising faster than spending, it means that the savings rate is rising.

Furthermore, some parts of GDP tend to be very stable, while others can swing wildly. It is these volatile parts of GDP that generally make the difference between boom and bust. Thus in this post, I will look at how much each part of the economy contributed to the overall 5.7% growth rate. The discussion will be framed in point contributions. For example, the biggest part of the economy, the Consumer, also known as Personal Consumption Expenditures or PCE Incorporatedreased by 2.0% and contributed 1.44 points to the 5.7% growth rate.
