Okay ... so I tried a swing short on some of the homies that had popped up a few weeks ago. Most of them worked out for minor gains and a few lost. Now, with the rate cuts, Fed. stimulus, gas going down and whatever else, ... changed my thinking that now is the time to be accumulating home builders in anticipation of the economy pulling through this and landing on its feet over the coming 1 to 3 years. Granted, we might bounce through a recession but longer term, these should perform okay to great. Also, with the whole sector in a trough, good time for some consolidation (I got luck on QMAR and YHOO being picked up in my few short weeks playing CAPS). I wanted to put this whole shpeel on the blog but I'm at work and can't be blogging ....

I can't believe with your pitch so full of wrong info you're the top bull! "rate cutes?, Fed stimulus?, Gas going down?" funny stuff.

Top Bull? ... where? ... on what stock? ... Back in February, when I made the calls on homies, I was very right on that call for a short time. They all (or most) were showing nice 20-40% gains .. unfortunately, I left them open and gave back all the paper gains. These past couple days have killed my rating (mainly due to drop in accuracy from 54% to mid 40s ... and my real positions took quite a hit too. I'm not perfect and far from top bull but things should improve ... eventually .... umm, if we can just figer out this oil thang!
