What to do with the Real Estate sector?
The market often prices in the future in the present. Market bears have been shorting Real Estate stocks for over a year. Had the current Real Estate market situation been priced in a year ago? Hopefully our Chief Equity Strategist and Economist, John Blank, can tell us.
1. Was this shorting of Real Estate stocks a foreshadowing of the current state of that sector?
2. Does this mean we can expect to see home prices fall more and possibly a revival in Real Estate?
3. What challenges are facing the Real Estate sector this year?
4. Based on low housing inventories and all other contributing factors, what’s your outlook for Real Estate this year?
5. What are the bull and bear stories for investors in Real Estate stocks?
6. Is there any impact to this market from the recent banking crisis?
7. You wrote recently that “Given the stoked fears out there, I would bet on Finance Sector stocks in Real Estate and Regional Banking to remain a short-term trader focus for some time. “ What about for the long-term?
8. You say the trick comes with trying to figure out when their beaten-down share prices bottomed. How will investors know when that happens?
9. According to the latest Zacks Industry Ranks, InfoTech, Healthcare and Industrials are very attractive sectors. Stocks you’re looking at in those sectors are Baidu (BIDU - Free Report) and Biorad Laboratories (BIO - Free Report) and Ingersoll Rand (IR - Free Report) .
