Filed under: Technical Analysis, Stocks to Buy  The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSE: XHB) bottomed in March and made a direct run to the 200-day moving average by the end of April.

Since then it has been trading within a bull channel, but recently broke the 50-day moving average (blue line) suggesting that XHB will head for the support line and 200-day moving average at around $12.50. <><>Continue reading <>Technical trade #5: S...

Hedge Fund Manager's Notebook: Why Hummers Are Greener Than Hybrids, and Tech & Homebuilders May Be a Buy

1) Hurricane Gustav wavered, so crude fell $6 and natural gas plunged a mind blowing 10%, or 80 cents. Other commodities collapsed across the board and stocks took off.
<>2) Q2 GDP came in at a blistering 3.2%, almost double some forecasts. While the stimulus checks provided a minor assist, it was really all about the enormous boost being given the economy by international trade. Unfortunately, if you don’t sell routers in India, ship food or commodities to China, or sell crude products anywhere you were toast. When this market does recover there is no doubt it will be lead by companies wi...

SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF Options Strategy
XHB
-35.43%
in
585 days
XHB is an exchange traded fund loaded with home builders and such housing related companies as Lowes (LOW) and Home Depot (HD).<!--more--> I believe that the home builders have generally seen their lows for the next year or so, even though a few builders may be vulnerable to bankruptcy. This makes the diversified ETF a safer vehicle.
<> Using XHB as our ETF proxy for homebuilders, the index bottomed out early this year at 15.22. XHB now trades around $23. With market interest rates very low investors are looking for relatively safe returns on their investments that exceed 2 or 3 %. I like th...

Powered by Minyanville: Housing Hints April 8, 2008- According to Bloomberg, contracts to buy previously owned homes likely declined in February. The National Association of Realtor's index of signed purchase agreements, also called pending home sales, is expected to fall 1% according to median forecasts. Among the reasons for the decline, lower property values and tighter lending standards are causing many buyers to delay purchases. These figures are considered leading indicators because they track the contract signings as opposed to purchase data, due later this month, which reflect c...

Nowhere Near a Real Estate Bottom

3/10 - "The real estate bottom is so far in the future it’s not even worth attempting a prediction...It simply takes time for people to recognize that even real estate markets can fluctuate on the down side.
In general, this will always result in a real estate market that lags the general economy. Thus, anyone who accepts the preceding statement as reality should easily recognize the ridiculousness of predicting a real estate bottom when we haven’t even experienced the recession yet!"
"The banks don’t have a clue what’s going on, and these insignificant write offs we have witnessed to dat...

Coincidence?

Is it a coincidence that almost everything in the HB sector was up on the last day of the month that statements are going out to stock holders?
How does the [potential but unlikely if you ask me] delay in the ARM interest rate resets, the increase in foreclosures, the tightening of the lending standards exactly help homebuilders?
