      The Market Domino Effect: Staying Ahead of the Curve
      First question, who is Brian Davis? Exactly, unknown. Next question, what disclosures has he made about his investment positions? Exactly, none.

      Anyone who "publishes" an article but presents no credentials and provide no disclosures should be completely ignored. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions. So much of what you see in print and hear on the business channels is unreliable/biased. It's written or stated by individuals who are virtual unknowns and who make no disclsoure about their own or their company's positions, that you simply cannot put yourself in the position of relying on their thoughts or recommendations.

      Who cares what Brian Davis wrote in his market domino "article". As an investor, you need to do your own research and come to your own conclusions. If you cannot do that, then you should give your moeny to a professional and go spend your time doing things that you have expertise in and that you enjoy doing.

      Homebuilding Stocks: Rising With Reason
      Any published article that ends with "Disclosure: none" is without merit.

      It should be assumed to be a biased article. As mentioned by "jdub", " 'The' bottom is nowhere in sight. Most homebuilder stocks are still significantly over valued. Too soon to buy I think."

      New home sales missed the estimate in a big way this morning. Also today, Pulte homes reported a wider loss than expected by analysts.

      What everyone needs to remember is that this time, the housing bubble was so big that it will take much longer than "usual" to work off the problem. As for the statement made by "DonPaul Olshove" that "The nice houses near the beach in sunny California have already passed the bottom.", I have to let any reader know that is simply not accurate. California had massive growth in home values and has only had some of the air come out of its bubble. Home values are still well above the previous low (even at the beach). So high above the previous low that it's quite clear California has longer to go to work off its housing bubble problem than any other region in the U.S.

      Take a "reality pill" everyone. The second half of '08 turnaround that some are suggesting is simply not a realistic expectation.

      Jim Cramer's Mad Money In-Depth, 3/18/08: ...And the Henry Potter Award Goes to...
      So, I guess we should listen to Kramer's advice now (NOT!!!). Within the past week his call on Bear Stearns (when the stock was still about $60-70) was that everything was OK. You know how that turned out. And now you want us to believe him when he says the economy is aok/all is well. Give me a break. He takes no accountability for his terrible calls. ZERO INTEGRITY! Bear Stearns is only one of many bad calls. One can only wonder as to Kramer's motivation for saying all is well, get into equities as it's a good time to buy. I think not...inflation is coming in a major way...our dollar is being flushed down the toilet by Bernanke and Paulson...the Federal Gov't throws around $200 billion bailouts like they are pennies...the housing/mortgage mess is far from over...next it's job losses...a world of hurt is coming for our economy and equities. Does anyone who understands economics and has some real integrity think the Fed's policy is a good thing? It clearly is not. We are going down the same path that Argentina followed in the late '90s. And you know how that one turned out too. All to keep the Wall Street insiders from taking a bath on their equity bubble investments. So sad!
