M/I Homes, Inc. (MHO)

Shorting all almost all Household goods (durables) and all home-builders. with high unemployment, how do you expect people to buy houses or hold onto their mortgages? Because of tax credit, numbers are looking decent, but we'll be back to normal in no time... Short this !!!

Its a homebuider, nuf said! Sales aren't looking too pretty in the recent couple months (when previously an upward trend was being established). Extension of the tax credit doesn't appear to be promising much motivation. With commercial real estate pending doom, residential real estate will feel continue ill affects being "guilty by association".

Per FB

Stagflation is here!

My awards ceremony blog pretty much sums up what I think of MHO

This company builds houses. In case you didn't know, there's an excess supply of houses that nobody wants. They'll just have to wait a couple of years until population growth makes those excess houses go away.

Home building? No thanks!

rally picks

This is my worst short every, but I dont think this stock is at a good price. I may throw some lighter fluid on it for fun and double down. Definitely a POS stock.

Listen Fools,

When the housing market turns it won't be sudden. It will be gradual. Short these housing stocks because you won't be hit hard if you are keeping up to date with the macroeconomic trends.

This isn't a Pharmaceutical stock which will hit lightning on a Phase completion.

This isn't a tech stock which will jolt one way on companies earning estimates.

This is a housing stock. It is slow. You can time it.

This is the one of the few housing stocks that haven't been showing a steady downward trend.

You can't 'front' with the macro economics, son.

Easy money :)

In the economics today it doesn't seem to have taken a big bite out of this stock thus far, time will only tell. It maybe only a slow mover but as of right now it seems to be heading in an upward movement.

In Floridabuilder we trust! In Floridabuilder we trust! In Floridabuilder we trust!

Foolish Pick FB.

this stock is a horror show for all of you who have been watching. Its going back down hard so be careful because we havent hit a bottom in housing.

floridabuilder says : everything about them is a disaster. Their run-up was due to the great debt to equity ratio. They have some major issues, poor locations, and big write offs coming up

bearish on everything related to housing for the next year

Not the business I would want to be in right now.

I don't know what people are thinking ANYMORE. This stock looks like it's gonna go down the drain. The whole housing market is coming back is just a hoax. Peopl e just blindly jump into this stock like it's gonna get hot.

EVEN IF THE HOUSING MARKET IS COMING BACK. IT'S NOT GONNA BE THIS PIECE OF ...(PLEASE LOOK AT THEIR GODDAMN BALANCE SHEET PEOPLE)
