Hi John,
Homebuilding is a cyclical business by its nature. While the =
homebuilders have enjoyed a long boom in this cycle (more recently =
lengthened by the Fed's easing), its fairly clear that the cycle is =
nearing its end. That means that most of the homebuilders do not have =
what it takes to fuel future growth. When looking at any one stock in =
the group, its important to also check the remaining stocks and see what =
kinds of earnings and sales they've been printing in the last couple of =
quarters. Sure enough, most of the homebuilders have seen a marked =
deceleration in both. Under CANSLIM rules, 2 quarters of decelerating =
earnings after a long string of accelerating quarters is a sell signal. =
The next thing you'd want to look at is the technical health of all the =
players in the group. Pull up a chart of all the players and see what's =
there. Almost every one of them has formed a head and shoulders topping =
formation. While HOV and RYL appear to be bucking the trend, investing =
in them long at this point is the equivalent of playing with fire.
In sum, there are 3 things which qualify homebuilders as "stinky fish":
(1) 2 quarters of decelerating earnings
(2) cyclical business nearing the end of the cycle, higher interest =
rates pressuring sales and therefore taking away fuel for future growth
(3) group health is poor, most stocks are topping out.
