File under: 'Overly optimistic bankers'
The Lake Wobegon effect was in full effect at last week's Barclays investor conference, where bankers of many stripes proclaimed that their commercial real estate portfolios will outperform the broader market. But as Michael Corkery of the Journal points out, that market likely has other ideas.For the most part, banks have been able to contain commercial-real-estate losses by extending debt when it has matured so as long as the property owner can make interest payments. But that is likely going to get harder as rents decline, leaving the borrowers with less cash.

A little longer wait on West Tenn. megasite
State ECD officials late on Friday said they have asked a State Building Commission subcommittee to defer any discussion of funding the planned Haywood County megasite until later this month.

There is a great spirit of cooperation and excitement among property owners in the area,” said Commissioner Kisber “We fully anticipate all remaining details will be resolved in the coming days, and the land options exercised before the Oct. 31 deadline.”

How health reform will boost profits
Research Todd Campbell says the economy's long-term growth trend will allow it to smoothly digest health insurance reform. He breaks down the numbers and comes up with another $2 billion in annual profits for the sector and encourages investors to jump in.The focus on gross margin risk is priced-in and somewhat offset from cost cuts. We also believe margin compression will prove far less than feared. On higher revenue growth, this allows more dollars to drop to earnings per share; suggesting prices are cheaper to earnings than they appear.
