Well Monday was a bloodbath but even then the home stocks declined less than average;showing relative strength.Today KB homes, mentioned in previous post, is up 13% and is now up about that much from nov 26 post.The etf and most of the other stocks in the sector are higher.I note that last night on CNBC ;Doug Kass, a noted short seller who made much money this year by betting against the home sector,…said that the homebuilding stocks would be one of the first sectors to turn as the economy recovers, and he had changed to bullish on the stocks.
