Investing in the Housing Crisis Aftermath: Stock Picks and Pans

I do not agree that HD and LOW are in bad shape. People have to really spruce up their homes in order to try to sell them in today's market. That's the busines they are in - home improvement and repair. It's a lot like the auto parts business. Look at AZO and AAP, they are doing great despite the bad economy because people have to keep their cars running due to scarce cash. I think HD and LOW are both great buys - if one likes to go long in a bear market. Personally, I am in cash until the housing crisis shows more sighns of an end.
