Here is the list, best to least favored:   Pulte<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3400642>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Tables Turned On Home Builders</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3116774</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[This Wall Street Journal report from earlier in the week is just dripping with too much irony to let it slide by without making note of it.  As those of you who have followed the housing market closely for the last few years might recall, homeowners who needed to sell their 2003 or 2004 purchase in 2005 or 2006 had complained that the home builders were routinely undercutting them on price, making it impossible to get top dollar.  This was part of the natural evolution of the housing bubble. Once prices peaked, it was much easier for builders to start lowering their prices, cutting modestly into their huge profit margins while emotionally attached homeowners who had to move for one reason or another, sought to get what their neighbors got at the peak back around 2005.  But, since prices began to plunge and home equity began to<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3116774>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Housing Starts Tumble Again</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2885753</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[The following article discusses Pulte Homes, Inc. (PHM), D.R. Horton, Inc. (DHI), The Ryland Group, Inc. (RYL) and Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (BZH).  In November, both housing starts and permits fell to record lows. I consider this to be good news, since it represents a decline is misallocation of resources and means we might eventually work off some of the huge inventory overhang and some day see an end to the housing mess that is ground zero of the economic turmoil.  In the meantime, though, it means that economic growth will be even weaker in the fourth quarter than most are currently expecting. Building permits, the best indicator of future housing starts, fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 616,000, a 15.6% decline from the 730,000 rate in October and 48.1% below the 1,187 million rate of a year ago.

      <description><![CDATA[Dec. 2, 2008:    Bernanke’s No Help for FHA&#160;     Ben Bernanke tried to reassure investors yesterday that the United States is in better shape than it was during the Great Depression… and that interest rate cuts might not be enough to jumpstart the depressed stock and housing markets. If they do drop interest rates to zero, the Federal Reserve does have other tools to influence liquidity – it can purchase Treasury bonds to increase the money supply.&#160;&#160;    But even low interest rates aren’t helping home sales much.
