KBH: Bull or Bear?
Goldman Sachs Slashes Ratings Across Entire Homebuilder's Industry

(closed on 08/05/10)
Filed under: Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades, Stocks to Sell  Everybody has been wondering what was going to happen to homebuilders once the Federal government's tax credit expired at the end of April. Well, we're starting to find out, and the picture doesn't look good.
Goldman Sachs has downgraded the entire Homebuilders industry from Attractive to Neutral, dropped MDC Holdings Inc. (MDC) from its Conviction Buy List and dropped its price targets on 10 stocks in the industry.
And really, who can blame them?
We've seen new home sales plunge from 504K in April -- right before the tax credit expir...

Filed under: Market Matters, KB HOME (KBH), Options, Chasing Value, Stocks to Buy, Housing  It's time to get serious about home builders again, and today I started building a position in KB Home (KBH) using options. Since the collapse of the residential real estate market three years ago prognosticators have been debating when the home builders might be worthy of investing your precious coin of the realm.
As is to be expected in these volatile times most were either too optimistic or pessimistic and few got it right. Like many stocks the home builders appear to have bottomed last March. In the...

Second wave of homes to reset has started and is slightly larger than the first. First wave of people getting unemployment are at the end of their benifits. Unless the "chosen one" takes notice this round will be much worse than the first and anything to do with housing (already weakened) will tank

Just doesn't seem like we've learned anything until builders are all struggling for survival. Can't think of a single area of the economy that needs new building inventory, there's a glut of high-end homes, middle class homes, low-end homes, shopping centers, big-box stores, everything. Builders seem to lead downward when markets swing south, this time should be no exception.

Home Builders Sucked Into Credit Crisis

3/15 - "...already weakened firms could face a credit crisis of their own as home prices continue to drop and the potential value of homes under construction face going on the market for a fraction of what they may have brought just a year ago.
Some of the large home building company stocks have lost over two-thirds of their value over the last year, and that may only be the beginning."

Kicking them while they are down, I know, what a cop out... but the charts seem to show more downside ahead...and that last step is a doozy. Personally, I am playing this with spring of '08 puts that should yield a double if my dreams play out. A higher conviction player should go longggggg and bet for the break through of 20. I just don't have it. I fear it really is long in the tooth as an idea and that one day the value calvery will bottom this puppy out--and it won't be where I want it. But hey, I'm a wimp.
