"This group is vulnerable. Is that contrary to my housing call? No, not at all. Remember, I am about house price stabilization. These stocks are about house price appreciation. We aren't going to get that any time soon." - Jim Cramer

Did Black & Decker (BDK), Masco (MAS) and Fortune Brands (FO) overshoot where they should go?

  • BDK
    Black Decker Cp
  • $61.05
  • -0.70%
  • $61.38

So, how does Black & Decker (BDK) fit into a "less bad" prism? I think that at $40 you had to be betting that things were getting darned good. (In fact, as with Home Depot, Best Buy's "upside" was largely derived from expense control.) At $29, Black & Decker is all about "less bad." And in the low $20s, where it was, you had a "getting worse" scenario.

  • BBY
    Best Buy Co Inc
  • $40.24
  • +0.47%
  • $39.99

Are people overestimating the discretionary income that people have after a Best Buy (BBY) disappointment? Is Best Buy's appliance figure such a bummer that everything has to come down? I don't think things are that drastic, but they aren't so hot. Best Buy looked terrible vs. last year.

People owning BBY also tend to own: AAPLBACBGTCSCOCTSHDEODVN

  • HD
    Home Depot Inc
  • $26.08
  • +1.76%
  • $25.87

Once again, though, I retreat to the comments by Home Depot (HD) CEO Frank Blake last week about how Home Depot is simply less bad.

People owning HD also tend to own: CCLXCVSGOOGGSJNJLLY

  • WHR
    Whirlpool Cp
  • $70.82
  • -4.10%
  • $72.97

I don't want to short Whirlpool (WHR), because everyone else is.

People owning WHR also tend to own: AUYBPCSEKEYLMTLUNAPEG
