Hey Saleem/c,

I love GGC in the homebuilding theme, especially given its low nat gas kicker. The stock has not acted particularly well in the last three days despite the good market so I'm monitoring my position closely, but it seems a fantastic idea for the future. Maybe one to watch for you guys?

Ugly close, but I'm still positive overall :).

Hi C & Stocktrader,

It was a "reactive close" to BB lack of will to "articulate more"

Housing is the biggest turnaround story for US economy.....

SFL...C is an expert trader on that...good for you.
