Fund from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income. The third quarter 2010 FFO marginally beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Excluding certain non-recurring items, FFO for the quarter was $114.5 million or 28 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The TJX Companies Inc. (TJX) reported same store sales of 2% for the four week period ended July 31, 2010. This affirms the company’s positive comparable store sales growth momentum so far. Sales in the same period upped 6% to $1.5 billion from $1.4 billion in the four-week period ended August 1, 2009 driven by increase in store traffic. TJX’s consolidated comparable store sales increased 6% for the 26-week period ended July 31, 2010. For the period, TJX recorded sales of $10.1 billion, an 11% increase over the $9.1 billion in the comparable period last year. July is a clearance month, as it marks the transition from summer to back-to-school. With prudent inventory management in July, TJX is set to enter the second half of 2010 with a leaner inventory. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We got some bad news today on Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance as the number jumped by 18,000 to 460,000, reversing the gains of the last few weeks. Further, last week’s numbers were revised higher by 3,000. The four-week moving average &#8212; which, given the inherent volatility of the weekly measures is generally considered a better measure to watch &#8212; rose by 2,250 to 450,250. As the graph below shows (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) we are still in a much better place than we were a year ago, when the four-week average stood at 643,000. After declining sharply and steadily in the last eight months of 2009, the behavior of initial jobless claims has turned erratic in 2010. It looks like we might be starting to follow the pattern of the previous two recoveries, ]]></description>

The Zacks Consensus Estimate has been upped to 73 cents since the TJX sales figures came out in early December. Last month, the forecast was 71 cents.

The company will also grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 3.8 million shares to cover any over-allotments.

		<description><![CDATA[Initial claims for unemployment insurance (or jobless claims) fell to 502,000 last week &#8212; a drop of 12,000 from last week&#8217;s revised level (and 10,000 from last week’s unrevised level). That brought the four-week moving average down to 519,750 &#8212; a decline of 4,500 from last week, and of 139,000 from its mid-April peak. That was the lowest level of initial claims since the first week of January (when the numbers were distorted due to the New Years Holiday). As the chart below (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) shows, that was probably the high point for this cycle. The decline has been quite smooth and steady &#8212; unlike the experience of the last two economic downturns, where after an initial decline, claims leveled off and remained high for an extended period of time. ]]></description>
