DON'T BUY

Data is soft: new home sales below estimates and home supply the highest since 2022. This suggests home prices will fall, which

BUY

Up 68% last year and 23% this year due to a massive housing shortage. Will benefit directly from lower interest rates. They have pricing power. ITB has been up 115% under Pres. Biden

SHORT

He remains short this, because he doesn't see good news in home or commercial construction.

BUY

If interest rates decline next year there will be a flood of activity in housing. That's why we're seeing a rally in housing now.

WEAK BUY

When the market turns, buying US homebuilders is like catching a falling knife. The risk/reward looks in your favour. Housing shortage in the US. The easy thing to do is to buy the ITB ETF, a great way to not have to make a big bet one way or the other. But you're fighting the macro of mortgage rates at 10 to 15-year highs. Not a great setup from a sentiment perspective. As long as builders can sell homes, and they continue to be affordable, they have great earnings power.

WEAK BUY

It holds Home Depot and Lowe's. People are doing fewer home renos after the lockdowns, but the US housing space remains healthy. This is okay to own.

BUY

His preference among the US homebuilders, and which also has a home renovation component. Supply/demand dynamics speak to years and years of home building.

BUY

Home Construction? These go in cycles and he thinks we are at the bottom of the current one and he is back looking. You have to think if demand increases and interest rates remain low, there will be pent up demand, especially when people return to work. Plus there is a good boom in the home renovation space. He thinks the sector has legs going forward.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 03/19, Up 6%) A play on construction whose seasonality is end-October to February. This is trending higher, supported by major moving averages. He's buying into what goes into building new homes, like lumber which he's done very well with. Even 12 months ago, ITB outperformed, and it has since gone straight up since then. It's exhausted its run, so he's looking for something with juice.

TOP PICK

Has done well all year. Seasonal strength is October - February. Yields and mortage rates so low is positive for the construction industry. Still showing higher highs and higher lows.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 23/18, Up 6%) Everything sold off in housing last year, which was probably warranted because of two years of declining U.S. home sales, which reflects the overall economy. He doesn't see strength in U.S. homes.

TOP PICK

He's bullish U.S. housing. This ETF has risen this week, while the market has fallen. Seasonally, it's Oct. 28 - Feb. 5 because it's the run-up to homebuying in the spring. Investors are pricing in lowering interest rates, because it has been penalized by the threat of higher rates.

COMMENT

This includes home builders, but also building material companies. Likes what is happening in the US housing market. This is a sector that is going to continue to improve, and he likes this ETF.

COMMENT

Likes the housing sector. It is improving in the US. One thing that holds him back from holding ETF’s in this space is the slowdown in oil, which is affecting places like Texas. That is a large part of some of these builders. He prefers something like Home Depot (HD-N).

COMMENT

An ETF that takes advantage of US housing starts and/or home renovations? One would be this or SPDR Homebuilders (XHB-N) as a pure play on homebuilders. Not a bad place to be and you could do very well in the next 2-3 years.
