This Housing Upturn Looks Like the Real Thing
Ever since the recovery began in 2009, a weak housing market has held back
the U.S. economy. The first rebound in home prices was lackluster and after
only a year was followed by another dip. But the recent upturn in home
prices looks like the real thing. One clear sign of a turning point: In
March, homeownership hit a 17-year low, while the 12-month gain in home
prices was the biggest i... 阅读全帖 |

VOLUME REMAINS LIGHT ... In a legitimate upturn, one of the first things we
look for is rising prices and rising volume. We've seen a modest price
upturn over the past week, but very little volume to go along with it. Today
