Homebuilders Spiking... What To Do Now!

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?

Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout.  And the timing for this has never been better.

You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that sends penny stock prices through the roof.

We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time flat.

Look at the homebuilders index… Stock prices are spiking off the news.


Part of the reason for the jump… the quickly expiring government tax credit.  Back in November, the government extended the program till April.  If you’re a first time homebuyer, you’ll get an $8,000 tax credit for scooping up a home right now.

Of course, everyone is in a mad rush to buy something… and that explains a lot of the excitement.

But don’t let these exciting numbers cloud your judgment.

I was talking with my real estate agent this weekend.  He mentioned that while sales activity was still flowing, 58% of all sales in our area were distressed.  Remember, I live in Arizona, we were one of the areas hardest hit.

I asked what he meant by distressed.  He said that’s everything including foreclosures, short sales, and bank owned property.  It’s a lot of properties.

It’s enough to give most investors pause.

So that brings us to the question of the day… What do we do now?

If you took my advice and bought some of the homebuilding stocks, you’re no doubt sitting on a very nice profit.  And a profit is always a wonderful thing to have.

Since most likely the homebuilding numbers were “juiced” by the tax credit, I wouldn’t be surprised to see April or May numbers slide a bit. And that news might cause the homebuilder stocks to falter.  So let’s be smart here and take a little off the table.

You never go broke taking a profit.

However, don’t sell your whole position.  We got in at a good price and the homebuilding stocks are a great long term play… in several years we could see them all significantly higher.

The key is to wait and watch.  Patience is important here.  Let’s see how the numbers look for April and May.  If they’re good, the homebuilders will be off to the races again.  If they’re bad, we need to pay attention to price action.

Here’s what I mean.

If the home sales numbers are bad and the stocks fall… it’s the reaction we’d expect.  Then we’ll look at the data and determine our next move.

However…

If home sales numbers are bad and stocks shake off the news, it means we’re poised to move significantly higher.  It would be a big sign that momentum is taking over the homebuilder stocks.  With investors focused on the longer term recovery, we’d want to be on that train as it’s pulling out of the station.
