ARE Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc.

$ARE lmao second day in a row of this bs. One single big selloff right before close, but still only about 7% of the total volume. Clearly the stock wants to go up from here. Shorts are defnitely at least a small factor but I think more likely funds are trying to artificially suppress the price so they can continue to enter. They don’t want this to retest YTD highs. Also there is definitely a non insignificant amount of people trying to sell for profit after the recent come up but I also feel like this number is less than previous times due to a much stronger floor and trend recently. Those people don’t understand the insane potential this has in the next 1-2 years.

$ARE Check out this shocking number, on September 23rd during the 1 hour period where the stock fell by 3% the intraday Amihud ratio was ~26:1. This means that for every 3-4 cents or so that was traded, it brought the stock price down by $1. Pretty insane. 🤭 Anyone have thoughts?

$ARE XLRE is down 5% in the past 2 weeks, ARE is down 20%, this is just non-sense (or manipulation)

$ARE One of the best REITs to buy right now at these valuations. I’ve been accumulating since taking a stake in the low $40 range earlier in the year. When it gets sub $50 I see it as a buy. With the Div you are paid to wait for the stock price rerate… Play it as ya see it! GLA! 🍻

$ARE -12% in 4 days is way overdone, specially with record low volume. Happy to add more now. Obvious swing here

$ARE Likely because the macro market tanking this week, giving opportunity to the players listed below since they know REITs, especially this one, are vulnerable to these conditions and are especially ripe for manipulation. The buy side is inherently going to be thinned out for many reasons mostly related to treasury yields so 1. Short sellers will sell and scalpers who are taking profit will try to get out of their position 2. There is coordination or orchestration from some large institutions to force price down when the bid is thin in order to accumulate. 26:1 ratio is crazy. That’s like if I wanted to buy $META at $500 but the price eas at $700 but I theoretically could drop the price by $200 by only selling $8 of shorts when the bid is thin. All of a sudden meta is at $500 and because there’s weak volume I can accumulate for days or weeks on a tiny upfront investment

$ARE takes this tens of millions of shares to go from 52 to 56 and 2/3 million to go back from 56 to 52. Here it works like this, low volume they manipulate the price back down. Underneath there is someone accumulating

$ARE plan was to start a new position at 43.50, it should get there within the next few days. However, that puts it at 6.6% dividend and property values are still unrealistically high and making me doubt that entry with bonds looking to break 6%. At least I would be back with good company though. Will have to consider it as we go into a traditionally bad REIT market.

$ARE down 20% in 2 weeks for no reason. Similar REITs are down only 5-7% in the same time frame in the same macro market conditions. And arguably $ARE is way better positioned in both their market and their debt structures. Crazy

$ARE Shorts fought like hell to keep this under $50 in the last couple minutes, crazy price action

$ARE LOL wow I didn't expect this to reach 51.50 levels today, I put in my bid at 51.55 let's see if it hits. This stock is too funny man

$ARE Have to say this is one of the funniest stocks I own. I can’t remember the last market wide red day that ARE didn’t pop at the open. Only conclusion I can come to is price is driven by shorts trying to cover on market red days. Weird
