SPDR S&P Homebuilders (ETF) (XHB)

CAPS Rating:
*

Exchange traded funds

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 members 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.

This is the home CONSTRUCTION -- not just homebuilder -- index. Includes HD and Lowes, for example. Not all of the homebuilders will go BK. Homes and businesses still will need repairs. Safe way to play the eventual husing rebound. Small yield, too.

My take is the homebuilders are in a silly rally / short squeeze based on the fast drop in oil -- as if oil at $114, or even $80, were so cheap it fixes Americans' financial problems.

Outperform based on valuation of homebuilders and a gradual recovery. Market will likely start to move before the real data comes out in official statistics.

We are closing in on the bottom in the cycle for the homebuilders. Given the violent swings in the market, the prudent thing is to use 1/4 tranches (instead of 1/3) when initiating or adding to positions.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
