Stocks fall amid worries about housing

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday as a report showing a decline in existing home sales raised concern about consumer spending and the outlook for the U.S. economy.

All 15 stocks in an index of homebuilder stocks (^DJUSHB - news) fell and the index itself was down almost 2 percent. The declines followed a report by the National Association of Realtors, which showed sales of previously owned homes slowed more than expected last month.

"Earlier this year homebuilder stocks were going up like Superman," said Al Goldman, a chief market strategist at A.G. Edwards in St. Louis. "Today's drop in the home sales report provided a good excuse for managers to finally sell those stocks and lock in some profits."
