Hi Fred,

Well, all I can say is "amen to that." I've been one of few on the list =
lately who has seen the homebuilder group as a house of cards. As with =
most debt structured markets/businesses (ENE's a great example), all it =
takes is a few "losing faith" and the stack begins to crumble. It =
happens with currencies, it happens with businesses, it could easily =
happen to the home building markets---*especially* when the low end is =
affected.=20

BTW, welcome to the list.

A question for you to go with your homebuilding comment. Wouldn't this =
be a good example as to why a person would not necessarily want to troll =
for high RS/EPS/GRS stocks????

  A word of caution about home building from the Chapman letter this =

  "If you can believe this, the White House has warned Fannie Mae and =

for

  mortgage asset portfolios have increased 150% in dollar volume and =
their
  guarantees of mortgage-backed securities increased 40%. The Bush =
budget said
  increased guarantee volume and retained portfolios imply increased =
credit
  and interest rate exposure. Furthermore, the budget added, the hedging
  transactions transform credit or interest-rate risk into counter party =
risk
  (the risk that the counter party of a hedging transaction fails to =
honor the
  contract). Thus, the GSE's management of counter party risk is of =
increasing
  importance. This is of extraordinary significance. This means the =
Treasury
  sees real counter party failures coming on the heals of Enron. It is =
an
  edict to Fannie and Freddie, from which 38% of new loans have been sub
  prime, to stop writing and insuring them. That means housing starts =
and

the

Then
  the failures begin, and the losses for these GSE's, then the major =

  housing prices. It's all right here. If you ever wanted to sell do it =
now,
  the game is over. That also means all that liquidity supplied to the =
housing
  market, that ended up reducing debt and supplying liquidity is at an =
end.
  This is a momentous financial event. Take advantage of it, sell real =
estate.
  This, of course, will adversely affect the stock market and expedite
  deflation leading to deeper recession because not only will the real =
estate
  bubble break but also the debt bomb will explode and in turn, the =

  Hi Harbol,

  I continue to see strength in the home builders group, and suspect it =
will
  be sustained for most of this year at least. I have several in my VR =
Fund,
  and all doing well, OHB (small cap, thinly traded) already hit another =
new
  high this morning on volume.

  With MTH, I would be cautious as the earnings forecast consensus at =
DGO
  indicates +8% this year and +15% next year. Most of the home builders =
I have
  looked at have much stronger forecasts.
