The model ratings are decidedly weaker this week. Comparing with last week, we featured ITA,. The sector strength has dropped from 61 to 38.

Felix has a new favorite! The new top ranking goes to ITB, the iShares Dow Jones US Home Construction index. Let us take our usual look from both the investor and trader perspective.

Investor Take

ITB has a P/E of 23 and a yield of .58%. Wow! Both of these are pretty scary for the long-term investor. Many other sectors are cheaper, but this is what the market is playing right now.

Here are the top ten holdings (pretty heavy in the top five):

Top 10 Holdings (62.9% of Total Assets)
Company Symbol % Assets
PulteGroup, Inc. Common Stock PHM 9.80
D.R. Horton, Inc. Common Stock DHI 9.57
Lennar Corporation Class A Comm LEN 9.43
Toll Brothers Inc. Common Stock TOL 8.08
NVR, Inc. Common Stock NVR 7.43
Home Depot, Inc. (The) Common S HD 4.34
Lowe’s Companies, Inc. Common S LOW 3.66
Ryland Group, Inc. (The) Common RYL 3.59
KB Home Common Stock KBH 3.58
M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. Common St MDC 3.42

Trader Take

Felix likes the chart, despite the slight recent pullback. This has been a winning sector, and the trend is your friend.

Model Output

As stated earlier, the model is weaker this week but with a huge drop in the number of ETFs in the penalty box. It’s like going to the south in March, it’s not bad, it’s just not great.
