8 Stocks to Benefit from the Coming Uptrend in Housing

deanfv,

Its too bad that your crystal ball prediction is already priced into stocks levered to the housing market. This just in: Everyone knows housing prices will fall at least 20% in 08. Tell me something I don't know.

Getting in on these stocks now is a good idea. Yes, Smicklas is a little too optimistic, the housing market is in a horrific state, but when you see it on the news every day investors must start thinking the bad news is overly priced into the market, especially when homebuilders and building materials co's like USG miss earnings by 40% and increase in price the vary same day. Shorts are obviously beginning to get squeezed out of theses stocks. Any sign of life or even if housing prices fall 15% instead of 20% in 08 will absolutely kill the shorts. By reading your comments it seems like you only get your investing information from ABC news or CNBC. You might want to start thinking of broadening your horizons and coming up with your own opinions instead of regurgitating what I hear every night on TV.
