Housing: Still Too Early To Invest (Or To Build)

  • Sep 5, 2007

It’s still too early, but at some point in the next 6 to 18 months, going long the homebuilders will probably become the single most contrarian—and potentially highly profitable—thing to do.  But before that happens, we expect to see more blood in the streets.

The Homebuilding Group – Value Play Or Value Trap?

  • Aug 5, 2006

Everybody sure hates the Homebuilders. However, contrarians should take note of this month’s analysis of earnings prospects, insider selling/buying, and the outlook for future housing starts. Now is not the time to be bottom fishing here.

In my opinion, the U.S. stock market is entering the terminal phase of the current cyclical bull market, based on our historical studies of typical cyclical bull market duration and magnitude. To a lesser degree the same can be said for the economic expansion.

Farm and Home

  • May 6, 1982

A historic look at farmland prices and home prices helps put today in proper perspective. Farmland price levels look especially vulnerable. Considering the high level of leverage now employed by some land owners, the high interest rates and the low cash flow, auction hammers may soon echo through rural America. Home prices are not as vulnerable but declines of 20% in nominal and real dollar values would not be surprising.
