Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

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 ...More

Fourth time for re-downing. Again, fundamentals have not changed: we are in the midst of the bursting of the biggest bubble in the history of all humankind. Ryland is not the worst homebuilder, but certainly is not in the best position to survive and thrive after a 5 to 20 year housing downturn.

We're building 1 million new homes, we're selling 500K of those new homes. Excess supply of 500K (annualized). Housing prices will continue to be pressured as seen in the home-price-to-income ratio, and the rent-price ratio. RYL may go up in absolute terms, but it will certainly under perform the S&P for the next several years as we get through this mess.

Although I tend to like Ryland more than the others like phm and ctx (probably the worst) I think RYl will shrink from here 30% and maybe even merge with another builder at the end of 2008 or so. So for this year I will short most of the builders including RYL, CTX and PHM among others. Ryland works well with first time buyers and someday (2010?) they will return as this may be the group the government helps to enter the housing market first.

Insider selling, only so long this will continue to float along without some serious difficulty. Lots of open May put interest at the 32.50 strike. I think they're interested for a good reason: Florida building = taking a breather for awhile.
