Baron also recommends buying housing stocks


Centex, D.R. Horton, Pulte, Lowe's, Whirlpool, Countrywide Financial and other housing-related stocks look reasonably priced -- and could do well if the housing market stabilizes in 2007.


You could have got the same news earlier here on 24 th August.


The overcrowded short trade in the housing stocks



When everybody gets it, best part of the move may be over. What do you see day after day, a negative story on housing. Today all the leading newspapers have negative stories about housing on front page. Expect a magazine cover this weekend or next on housing crash.
So time to cover your housing stock short. It might be time to buy housing stocks if you are value investor. I am buying CHCI,Comstock Homebuilding Comp
