After-Hours: Closing Update: Stocks End Little Changed Though Narrow Dow Gain Enough to Push Its Streak To Five

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:25:00 GMT

Stocks end narrowly mixed and in the middle of the day's range. Stocks have twisted in two directions Tuesday as consolidation kicked in following the Dow's 200-point run, to fresh year-plus highs, in the previous session. Investors took a breather from a six-day winning streak after Federal Reserve officals warned unemployment could stay high because of a lackluster recovery.[More...]

WSJ: Land Deals Help Home Builders Stay Alive (Not To Mention Tax Rule Changes, Government Largess)

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:44:28 GMT

One of the few predictions I made in late 2007 about what was to come in the future (Dec 4, 2007: December 2007 Thoughts / Roadmap) that was an airball was the call that quite a few homebuilders would go bust. At the time home builders were so desperate to get rid of inventory, we had example such as Lennar (LEN) selling land at 60% of book value. ([More...]

Earnings This Week; Investors Are Betting Against NVIDIA

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:50:00 GMT

Investors will be closely watching Capitol Hill for signs of an expected financial package. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is expected to disclose the administration's plans to address still-ailing financial institutions. The creation of a "bad bank" to warehouse bad loans is widely expected. Anticipation for a financial package sent stocks soaring on Friday despite a disappointing unemployment report. This week earnings will continue as investors hear results from Beazer Homes (BZH), SOHU.com (SOHU) and UBS (UBS), just to name a few. NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA) is set to report its fourth-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, and analysts polled by Thomson Financial are expecting the company to report a loss of ten cents[More...]

Bloomberg: Hovnanian (HOV) May Fail Absent Miracle

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 19:39:00 GMT

One of my incorrect calls in late 2007 was a series of good sized homebuilders to go out of business. A few smaller names have but no real major national brands. The banks have been extremely lenient with the homebuilders, changing covenants and the like - so the rationalization of the system has not taken place. However, according to this Bloomberg story - one of the national names - Hovnanian (HOV) might be on the[More...]

WASHINGTON - The budding economic recovery isn't getting much help from the home-building industry, which normally creates jobs and drives growth when a recession ends.
Uncertainty over whether a homebuyer tax credit would be extended weighed down construction last month - a sign of how much the fledgling recovery depends on government support.
The Labor Department said consumer prices rose 0.3 percent in October, a bit more than the 0.2 percent economists had expected.
