  1. ES will trade down to 1224.75... at least.

    The this has sold out... but program sell has not given it's final KICK!

    currently 1229.25

    ps... uh... Good Call Rubberbird

    Spike... do you suspect this is just a dip or a correction? I don't know what the thresholds are. Thanks... also great call!

    see both of you are right AGAIN!

    Thanks SteelHead. I stopped out of my entire position coming back from under $50.

    Switched in to a few August 47.5 puts in case this decline has some more legs and Tol gets bad press this weekend.

  3. Mvic,

    I have a feeling... that its gonna' get a little sweaty for TOL.

    Mortgage rate are rising... and will rise faster with the fed meeting comming up to boost them

    Plus isn't some 70% of TOL's communities in HOT markets like DC?

    High mortgage rates can't help that!

    Good call!

    and to rubberbird too!

  4. It closed below the 10-day simple moving average yesterday. Today we have another 10 point drop. This is what I call waiting for a signal...

    Tol's growth rate certainly appears to have peaked. The easy developments have been done and now they are faced with rising costs, cooling demand in the hottest markets where they have a substantial portion of their business, and the rising rates will not help either. As aa company they should still do well for some time (though things can dry up very quickly in the residential RE business and huge co.s can disappear almost overnight). The point is that their valuations was based on continued acceleration of growth and that is what has changed with yesterdays data and cc.

  6. Still long, but to be sure you understand what i'm talking about i will post a chart with comments later on.
    At this moment you can be long and right; but you also can be short and right. All depends on what you are trying to do.

    Rubberbird, why are you jacking off over 10 points ?
    You are still in the red 10 points on your last top call at 1225 ?
    Call me crazy but the chart is not showing a top, but a pull back to test 1225.

    It is kinda funny. Sorta like:

    "Hey Mom, look at me"

    "Mommy watch me do this..."

    "MOM, YOU'RE NOT LOOKING!!!..."
