Challenge Rules
The participants were asked to predict the 2004 year-end value of the NAREIT Equity REIT Index and the Morgan Stanley REIT Index. In addition, each participant will select a portfolio containing the five individual real estate stocks anticipated to be top performers-the portfolios can be altered on an as-needed basis throughout the year. Participants may select companies from the constituent lists of the NAREIT Equity Index or the NAREIT Real Estate 50 Index.

The analyst who comes closest on a percentage basis to predicting the year-end value of the NAREIT Equity Index will be the winner of that portion of the challenge (prediction can be higher or lower than the final index value). The same holds true for predicting the year-end value of the Morgan Stanley REIT Index. The portfolio portion will be judged based on total return at the end of the year.

The Stock Challenge is for entertainment purposes only and readers should keep in mind that the selections made are not recommendations to purchase any specific stock.
