Douglas Emmett - Chart of the Day

Douglas Emmett (DEI) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The equity REIT has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 16.20+, gained 10.27% in the last year and paid a 2.81% dividend.

The Chart of the Day belongs to Douglas Emmett (DEI).  I found the equity REIT by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list first for the most frequent number of new high in the last month then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.  Next I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistency.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 3/3 the stock gained 13.00%.

Douglas Emmett is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust and one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties located in premier submarkets in California and Hawaii. The Company's properties are concentrated in ten submarkets Brentwood, Olympic Corridor, Century City, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Westwood, Sherman Oaks/Encino, Warner Center/Woodland Hills, Burbank and Honolulu. The Company focuses on owning and acquiring a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities.

MORNING CALL 4/25

MORNING CALL
OVERNIGHT MARKETS AND NEWS
Jun E-mini S&Ps (ESM16 -0.07%) are down -0.11% and European stocks are down -0.46% as crude oil and metals prices fall. Marathon Oil is down over 2% in pre-market trading to lead energy producing stocks lower and Freeport McMoRan and Alcoa are both down over 1% in pre-market trading to lead raw-material producers lower. Another negative for European stocks was an unexpected decline in German Apr IFO business confidence. Asian stocks settled mostly lower: Japan -0.76%, Hong Kong -0.76%, China -0.42%, Taiwan +0.29%, Australia closed for holiday, Singapore -1.37%, South Korea -0.08%, India -0.62%. Chinese stocks closed lower as material companies fell after commodity exchanges in Zhengzhou and Dalian announced late Friday that they will raise margin requirements on futures contracts of cotton and thermal coal, which followed hikes of margins in steel reinforcement-bar iron and iron ore contracts earlier last week. Recent stronger-than-expected Chinese economic data has reduced the odds of further easing and led to increased speculation in Chinese commodity markets. Japan's Nikkei Stock Index retreated from a 2-3/4 month high and closed lower after USD/JPY fell back from a 3-week high and moved lower, which curbs the earnings prospects of Japanese exporters.

In addition, the International Energy Agency forecast that non-OPEC oil production will drop about -700,000 bpd this year.
