Home Builders & Retail ---

I also like CROS, but sold mine recently at a decent profit because I felt overexposed in the builders. I also have LEN and SPF. HUG is a decent related buy.

Curiously, I sold my ROST a month ago with the run up, but watch them very closely. If they dip I will get back in. I bought GDYS in the retail sector instead. I think GDYS is the ROST of the southeast, but they have to get back on track. I may be an idiot, but I like KM also.

Mike, re homebuilders, I'm still partial to Beazer, BZH, should do revenue of $1.5B going forward, have been growing well and their mortgage business is reaching critical mass. Management seems to know what they are doing, That said I liked them for a long time and stock price hasn't done much, Scott

Mike - I have met with the management of Crossmann several times, and they are absolutely the best of the best. A gem of a company. But when people panic, what they sell first are small cap homebuilders. Crossmann winds up near book value when that happens. My buy price would be close to book value in a panic, though I agree with you it is worth much more than that. I'd say you're looking at downside risk of about $15, so be careful.
