Barry Ritholtz is predicting a bounce in home builders



BTW, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bounce in the homebuilders.

There has been so much written about them, down 50% from their peak. TOL for example returned back to its 2004 break out level, and its 200 day moving average . . .

Thats for nimble traders only . . .
