Stocks add to losses following disappointing new home sales (January revised lower as well). Builders certainly can't blame the weather or mortgage rates. Scott Barber points out NAHB optimism isn't yet being confirmed by better data on sales. S&P 500 -0.4%, Nasdaq -0.6%.

"Builders certainly can't blame the weather or mortgage rates.

The Royal Wedding? Sure. I bet home sales are being negatively impacted because Ben chose Courtney in the Bachelor.

Snooki getting pregnant must account for at least half of the miss in expected home sales.

Completed new homes for sale...54,000...lowest on record going back to January 1973....no recession has started unless first this number gets above 100,000
