Rates came from 7 to 6 and people decided to get back in. I think that's the thing with the home builders because rates change so quickly. That's why it's easier for them to pay down rates as opposed to cutting prices, which is a weird dynamic. 11% of S&P 500 companies having reported 57% are beating earnings,. It's actually well below the 70%. 61% are beating on revenues, which is lower than the 69% average. The best you can lock in for five years, but generally pretty expensive to do so.
