NYSE:TOL
Contrary to bearish fears, Toll Brothers' CEO feels this housing boom has legs and is actually starting to recover to satiate pent-up demand. He agrees. This isn't the eve of the Great Recession; there won't be a housing collapse, because lending laws are much tighter. In May, existing U.S. home prices hit a record high. Homebuilders have excellent credit and the banks are strong.
On Wednesday we'll see US home sales data, which he feels remain strong, but there isn't enough supply. Toll and DHI (DR Horton) are buys here to capitalize on this shortage.
