Any Shelter In Housing?

Going into 2010 bulls were hopeful that after such sharp declines, housing had found a bottom.

But fast forward 6 months and there's chatter of a double dip recession, with performance in the Homebuilders ETF certainly telling the story. Take a look:

What must you know about this sector in the second half?

I think housing stocks are heading much lower, says Stephen Weiss author of The Billion Dollar Mistake.

"Housing stocks follow book value," explains Weiss, "and the reason investors were buying is that they think they’re trading close to book. But book value is being rewritten all the time because land values keep going down."

And he doesn't see the sector stabilizing anytime soon.

"The fact is there are no buyers out there," he says. "Home buying is based on job creation and there's been no job creation. And the tax incentive depleted the buying population for a pretty long period of time."

What's the trade?

I don’t like the sector, adds Brian Kelly, but the sector has moved so much lower I wouldn’t go short.

Cemex may be oversold here, adds Tim Seymour, but it’s a trade not a long-term hold.
