the latest issue of The Wall Street Transcript (212/952-7433) or http://www.twst.com/info/info127.htm
In a vital review of this sector for investors and industry professionals, this valuable 62-page Special Issue
features:
1) Lodging Industry -- In an in-depth (16,300 words) Analyst Roundtable, David Anders, First Vice President at
Merrill Lynch, Michael Happel, Principal of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Bryan Maher, Vice President with Credit
Lyonnais Securities (USA), and Joyce Minor, Vice President at Lehman Brothers, examine the outlook for the sector
and share specific stock recommendations.
Maher asserts, ``We would focus investors' attention on Host Marriott Corporation (NYSE:HMT - news), the REIT.
The REITs portfolio would be extremely hard to replicate, is somewhat insulated from new room supply, and pays
an 8.5% dividend. So for REIT owners we would focus our attention on Host Marriott at this time.''
