"Shares have nosed dived and the stock looks fairly expensive. Although profits have grown and It has built up It's portfolio, 2008 is expected to be a challenging year." so Shares Mag. said recently...but then l looked at their chart and noticed a sudden change In direction, could be an interesting sector given the possibility that some people need to move Into the rental sector because of necessity.

What do you think?

I agree with what you say and I moved into Djan Holdings a few weeks ago and now showing a good profit, even now the shares are selling at a big discount to their asset value.
Could be a good time for Grainger, and certain fund managers are looking at property companies.
You takes yer pick.
