And new home sals numbers: "Sales of New Homes Hit Record Level in June"
"Sales of new homes soared to an all-time high in June as the red hot housing market kept sizzling. The Commerce Department reported that single-family home sales jumped to a record annual pace of 1.37 million units in June, up 4 percent from May."

LMAO. How the hell do people get it so wrong? Housing is crashing...last Q was the top, no no this Q is the top, no wait next Q............

Not its not a blowout... who cares about this quarter.. we already knew it would be strong.. this was priced in via TOL and other homebuilders that all beat expectations.. here is the main thing..
"Also, Pulte raised its 2005 earnings guidance for continuing operations to a range of $10 to $10.50 a share.
"For the year, Wall Street is looking for a profit of $10.13 a share."
-- That is not a blowout!
