Happy Anniversary Chart and WU!!!!!
I have account in Fidelity, Sharebuilder, and recently Zecco. First 2 won't trade most stocks I want to trade. (for investers, not traders). With Zecco, I cant just instantly pull from my savings(takes several days). But Zecco does let me trade everything so far. Help me Chart or fellow WU classmates. Better online broker out there??

Good Morning Chart and WU.
Sovran has built a portfolio of over 350 stores in the past 20 years. The Company typically purchases existing operating facilities that meet a specific set of marketing, maintenance, and financial criteria.
Sovran continues to seek out single facility acquisitions in our existing markets and multiple facility acquisitions in new markets. In this fashion, Uncle Bob’s has expanded into 24 states and over 50 markets across the U.S.A.
Sovran Self Storage, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that acquires and manages self storage properties. The Company owns and/or operates more than 350 self storage facilities encompassing over 20 million square feet, making it one of the five largest self-storage companies in the United States.
Sovran operates its stores under the trade name Uncle Bob’s Self Storage®, and serves over 170,000 customers in 24 states. Through innovative marketing and product development, the Company has differentiated itself with value-added products and services like Dri-guard, their state-of-the art dehumidification system; Uncle Bob’s Rental Trucks; and a national Customer Care Center featuring a fully integrated sales and reservation system for the Company’s rental spaces.
Founded in 1982, the Company is headquartered in Buffalo, New York, and employs over 1,000 people. Sovran’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SSS
I have 1,000000 order in at .0002. But trading with Zecco, might not show buy or not till later. Fairly new with Zecco and it doesnt seem like its very realtime.
As an owner of a 1 location self storage facility, I follow the trends of this industry. I live it every day and have been doing a lot of research on this REIT. Uncle Bobs is a solid company with plenty of room for growth.
Take Advantage of a Buyer’s Self-Storage Market
Michael L. McCune
It’s a great time to be a self-storage buyer, poised to take advantage of the highest returns we’ve seen in years. There are some good facilities on the market at low prices (in terms of cap rates), and many properties are being valued unrealistically. There are even a few properties that may be available from foreclosure.
With banks not lending to smaller buyers, SSS is in the right spot to aquire new locations.
Hoping for a good 3rd quarter ernings report on Nov 3. Self storage is a hot market. With forclosures still running high, storage is a much needed business.
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
Fitch Ratings upgraded Sovran Self Storage Inc. (SSS) and Sovran Acquisition LP a notch, pulling their ratings out of junk territory as the companies got back into compliance with lending covenants.
The ratings firm in May had cut the ratings a notch and put the issuer default rating on watch for downgrade after it violated its total leverage covenant, which limited the company's liquidity and flexibility. Sovran got a waiver then, but Fitch remained concerned the self-storage real estate investment trust would have limited capacity on its unsecured revolving credit facility.
Fitch, which now has Sovran's ratings one notch into investment-grade at BBB-, cited the company's stock sales and dividend cut for its improved rating. The outlook is now stable.
Sovran shares were recently trading down 1.8% at $31.38. The stock, having nearly doubled from its low in early March, is now down less than 10% this year
Fitch Ratings Upgrades Sovran Self Storage
10/19/2009
On Friday, Fitch Ratings upgraded the investment-grade credit rating of Sovran Self Storage, a Williamsville, N.Y.-based real estate investment trust. Fitch had downgraded the company’s rating in May after Sovran experienced some trouble with the covenants in its loan agreements. But earlier this month, Sovran raised $114 million by selling additional shares of its stock, reducing its debt and overall leverage.
The company also cut its dividend by 30 percent and is saving cash by trimming its facility expansion and upgrade program. The Fitch upgrade should have significant financial benefit for Sovran. The interest savings from the upgrade are expected to offset the dilution to the company’s earnings per share caused by the sale of the additional 4 million shares of stock.
Sovran owns or manages 382 Uncle Bob’s Self Storage facilities in 24 states.

A Renewed Sense of Optimism in Paradigm Medical (OTC:PDMI.PK)
For New Medical Devices Coming for Paradigm Medical (OTC:PDMI.PK)
StocksHaven Investments
13.10.2009 11:33:04 Paradigm Medical Rebounds as Investors Await Four New Devices (OTC:PDMI.PK)
(live-PR.com) - The Medical device industry has been one of the most successful industries within 2008 and 2009, and 2010 should continue that trend. StocksHaven Investments profiles Paradigm Medical Industries, Inc. (OTC:PDMI.PK), a promising company who will soon begin to introduce the first of its four new ophthalmic diagnostic devices, the Paravue, during the remainder of 2009. Plagued by lawsuits, financial woes,
and poor management — the company has made a vast array of changes during late 2008 and 2009 leading to an invigorated interest in past and present shareholders. The company named Stephen Davis the new president, an individual with an impeccable ability to attain funds and grants for struggling institutions, alongside 20 years experience in the ophthalmic industry. Paradigm also has the only patented technology utilizing photon lasers for cataract removal and is poised to capture a niche market within the glaucoma and ultrasound microscopy fields. The glaucoma market alone is estimated to reach $4 billion in 2010. With a portfolio consisting of a total of 15 devices currently available, and 4 pending release with one expect by end of 2009, Paradigm seems to have positioned itself nicely for a rebound in the near future.

Look for RAD to pop soon. Flu season and Swine Flu should will cause extreme paranoia. This should help front end store to finally go green, just by added foot traffic. Pharmacy sales should boom. Im adding as much as I can.
CEGE stockholder meeting today. Expect merge approval with BPEX. Infusion of new cash could speed up pipeline.
Loading up on BIEL. Hoping FDA approval comes this week. Or soon after.
