SITC is a retail shopping centre REIT.  It recently announced a divestiture of 11 centres and purchase of 4 others as it carefully rebalances its portfolio to maximize capital efficiency along with rebalancing its debt -- allowing it access to an investment grade credit rating.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is reduced.  It trades at 2x earnings, under book value and supports a 21% ROE.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $12, looking to achieve $24 -- upside potential of 41%.  Yield 3.0%
