"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

MAS
Masco Cp - $14.04

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

-
FO
Fortune Brands In - $38.53
- -0.21%
- $38.52
If you are looking for stocks to bet against here, I would bet against Fortune Brands (FO).

-
BDK
Black Decker Cp - $61.00
- -0.11%
- $60.84
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 - $43.30
- +0.81%
- $42.82
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.

HD
Home Depot Inc - $27.18
- +0.26%
- $26.98
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.

-
WHR
Whirlpool Cp - $69.66
- -1.50%
- $70.38
I don't want to short Whirlpool (WHR), because everyone else is.

A. If you are standing in line on Black
Friday watch out for pickpockets
disguised as shoppers.Also CNN Money has
a bias against people running their own
investment portfolio.They think you
should be only in mutual or index
funds.If you need a good laugh pick up a
copy of Money Magazine for a lesson in
Economic Propaganda.
