Kindly ignore this pick. It's just crazy ol' Eldrehad making a Fool (or fool?) of himself by calling outperform on another homebuilder when just about everyone else in the country is saying it's a bad idea.

It really doesn't matter what builders like Hovnanian do. No matter how well or how poorly they execute their business their entire industry is being swept up in an Macroeconomic Tsunami of epic proportions.
