Homebuilding ETF (PKB) – Positioning for a Bottom

August 29, 2006 at 9:15 am by Yaser Anwar      Bookmark and Share

Housing
Barron’s cover story talked about a bottom in housing stocks. Weak home sales, growing inventories, dwindling orders and falling prices have all contributed to a weakening housing market. Hardest struck have been the home builders, who are off as much as 65% from last summer’s highs

Last week, I analyzed whether Toll Brothers (TOL) had bottomed out as it rose on disappointing outlook and numbers.

If you believe housing related stocks have bottomed out or are close to doing so, then take a look at exchange traded funds.  You can position yourself using the PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio ETF(PKB).
