BUYINS.NET: Healthcare REIT Stocks Expected To Be Higher After 6 of Top 6 Correlated Stocks Fire Buy Signal.
Tuesday , July 14, 2009 04:31ET
Jul 14, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- BUYINS.NET / http://www.squeezetrigger.com is monitoring the top 6 most highly correlated Healthcare REIT stocks and 100% of them have fired a buy signal as of July 13, 2009. HCP Inc. (NYSE: HCP), Ventas (NYSE: VTR), Nationwide Health Properties (NYSE: NHP), Health Care REIT (NYSE: HCN), Healthcare Realty Trust (NYSE: HR) and Omega Healthcare (NYSE: OHI) are all expected to be higher as 6 of the top 6 stocks in the sector have fired a buy signal. Group rotation is a phenomenon where institutions exert buying or selling pressure in an industry group, pushing prices of the group higher or higher relative to the general market. An industry can often lead or lag the market, and the most highly correlated stocks (mirror closest to the overall move in that group) usually move in unison. The technology used to make these predictions is available for a low monthly fee at http://www.squeezetrigger.com/services/strat/mh.php . The chart below displays the correlation, beta and relative strength of the top 6 most highly correlated stocks in the highlighted industry group:
Name Symbol Correlation Beta RelStr Sector
HCP INC HCP 0.98 1.2 1 REIT - Healthcare Facilities
VENTAS INC VTR 0.97 1.13 1 REIT - Healthcare Facilities
NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROP NHP 0.93 0.9 1 REIT - Healthcare Facilities
HEALTH CARE REIT INC HCN 0.9 0.74 1.01 REIT - Healthcare Facilities
HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST HR 0.86 1.31 1 REIT - Healthcare Facilities
OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVEST OHI 0.85 0.88 0.98 REIT - Healthcare Facilities
We automatically calculate correlation to help find the stocks that most closely match their groupas movement and generate powerful group consensus trading signals to profit from the herd mentality. When multiple stocks in a group turn at the same time and the rotation of that group is confirmed, an explosive move typically occurs. Correlation measures the tendency for a symbol to move in unison with the group, beta measures the amount the symbol is expected to move relative to the group and relative strength looks back at the recent past to show how the stock has been moving relative to the group.
The chart below looks at average seasonal moves (Seasonality) over the past 5 years of the stocks mentioned above and predicts an expected move up or down based on the odds (# of times it has happened in the past). Healthcare REIT stocks as a group have been up an average of +2.9% in July, +4.6% in August and +3.6% in September, a collective +11.1% in the next 10 weeks.

HCP Initiates Litigation against Sunrise Senior Living
Monday , June 29, 2009 16:05ET
LONG BEACH, Calif., Jun 29, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- HCP (NYSE:HCP) announced that it, together with three of its tenants, has filed complaints against Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Sunrise") based on Sunrise's defaults under management and related agreements covering 64 HCP-owned properties operated by Sunrise. The complaints, filed in the Delaware Chancery Court on June 29, 2009, allege, among other things, that Sunrise systematically breached various contractual and fiduciary duties, including operating the properties in a manner that impermissibly favored the interests of Sunrise and its affiliates at the expense of HCP and its tenants. In addition to equitable relief and money damages relating to the defaults, HCP and its tenants are seeking judicial confirmation of rights to terminate the agreements on the 64 properties.
HCP became the owner of 101 senior housing communities operated by Sunrise through its 2006 acquisition of CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. As previously disclosed, HCP transitioned 11 of those communities to a new operator in December 2008, and shortly thereafter notified Sunrise that it was in default of its obligations under the agreements for the remaining 90 communities. Sunrise responded to HCP's default notices by denying that it was in violation of its agreements in any material respect. The agreements provide Sunrise with various periods to cure the defaults, which periods have now expired. More recently, HCP announced that the management agreements on 15 additional Sunrise-managed communities were terminated effective October 1, 2009.
