After 32 years and 192 issues, the decision has been made to discontinue publishing the Direct Investments Spectrum newsletter.  However, please be aware that Partnership Profiles will continue providing data for valuing minority/noncontrolling interests in real estate and other assets.  In this regard, we plan to release new valuation data in the fourth quarter of this year as we have done in prior years.  This data is available from our website at www.PartnershipProfiles.com.
