(USG) has been way overbought past couple of weeks, surprised it did not fall even more.

HD and Lowes on the other hand I might buy if they dip a bit more

Yeah, USG was up more than 40% YTD (!) a day ago. Shares were due for a selloff no matter what the NAR spewed out this morning.

anyway USG is still very low (even lower than in 2010, to not say before) while meantime they restructured operations and so they will be more profitable even with modest housing (or remodeling, repair, etc.) improvements. I believe it should go at least to 20-25

I am not so sure yet - they lost money last quarter, so will wait and see how the next one goes.
