Time for Income-Starved Investors to Reconsider REITs? / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: DailyGainsLetter
John Paul Whitefoot writes: After a serious pullback in May, is it time for income-starved investors to reconsider real estate investment trusts (REITs)? Or will America’s favorite sugar daddy, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, tease investors with ongoing threats of tapering?
The North American REIT bull market was stopped dead in its tracks on May 22, after Bernanke hinted the central bank might begin tapering its massive $85.0-billion-per-month government bond-buying program.

U.S. Housing Market Stocks Could Be Heading for a Crash / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: InvestmentContrarian
Sasha Cekerevac writes: Is the housing market moving up too fast? As strange as that sounds, considering the crash in the housing market a few years ago, there is a very real possibility that people are beginning to aggressively speculate once again in the housing market.
That flurry of speculators out for quick cash is partially what led to the boom in the housing market last decade. Many people considered the housing market as a means to get rich, and it was fuelled by very low interest rates. That escalation of buying and selling resulted in prices for the housing market far higher than it could sustain. And to the inevitable crash.

By: Investment_U
Alexander Green writes: During the housing bubble a few years ago, I editorialized repeatedly [Alex nailed it in 2006] that the whole affair was likely to end badly for speculators, mortgage companies and – not least of all – homebuilders.

Two Strong Companies in a Dead U.S. Housing Market / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: Jared_Levy
I have been examining real estate investments in several different forms since early 2009, when I was one of the first on CNBC to begin recommending it, albeit cautiously.
Back then, I was recommending the purchase of XHB, a housing ETF that was trading for about $9, as a diversified proxy for an actual investment in real estate.

Expected Upside Pivot for Real Estate ProShares SRS / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
My overall work on the UltraShort Real Estate ProShares (NYSE: SRS) indicates that the upmove from the Jun 21 low at 24.07 to the Jul 6 high at 32.20 completed the initial upleg of a larger, intermediate-term advance. If accurate this means that from in and around the 27.50/00 area, the SRS will pivot to the upside into a new upleg that projects into the 34.50-35.00 target zone.

Eye on UltraShort Real Estate ProShares SRS / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
I am looking to re-enter a long model portfolio position in the UltraShort Real Estate ProShares (NYSE: SRS) into weakness, if we get any. Should such a scenario unfold, then the SRS should pull back into the 28.50/00 area in a shallow correction, or into the 27.00 area in a deep correction.

Homebuilding Stocks Are in for a Nasty Surprise / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: DailyWealth
Tom Dyson writes: "You can't believe how screwed up things are down here... "
This weekend, I met up with a real estate expert, M, from South Florida. M specializes in REO. REO stands for "Real Estate Owned." Banks lend money to homeowners. Sometimes homeowners don't make their interest payments. The bank kicks the owner out and seizes the property. In the industry, they call this repossessed, bank-owned property "REO." The government is the nation's biggest holder of REO. M says the government owns 80% of the properties he deals with.

Sell the Homebuilders into Strength as SPX 500 Tests Highs / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: Richard_Gateway
As the SPX 500 rallies from the shallow correction Autobottrading.com warned of on April 15, the homebuilders are also trading higher, to levels where risk for investors is great. The Philadelphia Housing Sector Index ($HGX) has breached this year’s highs and is up, as of this writing on April 20th, over two percent. Despite the bullish price action, the sector is reaching very long term resistance levels which will likely halt and reverse the bullish advance which began last March. Autobottrading.com advises investors, long term position traders, and swing traders to use this strength to exit positions in the housing sector.

By: Mike_Paulenoff
I view the Homebuilding Sector ETF (AMEX: XHB) chart pattern from October as a developing base that is maturing ahead of a counter-trend period that should propel prices above the December recovery high near 13.80 towards a confrontation with the declining 200 DMA, now at 17.48.
