If you want a Stock Review on LAMR, MTGE, BDN, or BXMT then come over to http://dailystocktracker.com/register/ and sign up for your free customized report today. When investors find themselves in a rising-rate environment, one of the areas that often becomes "an-avoid" for most is the REIT sector. This segment tends to benefit from low interest rates, and its high yields can sometimes become less attractive relative to safer bonds as interest rates increase across the board, according to a Zacks report. This morning, DailyStockTracker.com shifts focus on four Diversified REITs to see how they have fared over the past trading sessions: Lamar Advertising Co. (NASDAQ: LAMR), MTGE Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: MTGE), Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN), and Blackstone Mortgage Trust Inc. (NYSE: BXMT). Daily Stock Tracker published free research reports on these stocks today at:
