LT, Thean, Dr. What do you resident experts think about EK, it seems to have resisted the correction so far, can it last [I think not], Also aching to short GE and CL ,hoping to catch them on rally which may be under way now. Just a carpenter, getting tired of carrying shingles

RE sales still strong, but have been levelling off. I would be hesitant to short HD, etc..due to the fact that with the low rates, many people are refinancing as well as buying. These folks routinely get cash back for home improvements. Also, there is a certain lag time between purchases and fixer-upper type work; this being that the purchase saps ones capital and these items get deferred until the new buyers' coffers can be replenished... Still, I don't follow these stocks... + my market intuition really lewinskis [sucks] lately
