7 Stocks to Buy For the Current Housing Boom - 1 of 7

 
 

#1 - D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI)

The first stock we’ll look at is one of the premium homebuilder stocks. D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI) has climbed off its March lows and is now trading at a record high. The stock is up nearly 50% for the year.

To put that into perspective, the stock was up 8% in the early summer. New home construction is surging. In late July, the company reported revenue of $5.39 billion. The fact that this was higher than the prior quarter is not surprising. However, on a year-over-year (YOY) basis, that revenue was also significantly higher.

That’s just the top line. On the bottom line, DHI reported a 36% YOY gain. And if analysts are any indication, the stock still has higher to go.

It will be difficult for the company to repeat that strong growth in the future. However, since September, DHI stock has received price target upgrades from three analyst firms. The lowest of the three is projecting $81 per share, and the highest offer a price forecast of $90. Both would mark a significant gain from the stock’s current price of around $77 per share.

Why I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocks (Ad)

Back in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%. But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."

And if you’d like to get your hands on this, here you go, the complete breakdown.
