CAPS Rating:
*

Designs, constructs and markets high quality single-family detached homes and attached condominium apartments and townhouses in planned residential developments in the Northeast.

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.

Companies have to take write-downs based on 'Mark-to-Market' valuation.

Ask yourself this: When will the U.S. need more housing? My answer is no time soon.
Ask yourself this: Where will the U.S. need more housing? My answer is NOT in exurbs where builders can buy land on the cheap and make massive developments with large profit margins.
My thesis: More than one of the major homebuilders will go bust. Capitalism doesn't need them any more. It will probably be HOV or BZH, but CTX might have further to fall.

Getting in near the bottom (hopefully), though I don't expect any sustained growth in this industry for a few years - I do think it will beat the SPY.
