Is the turnaround on homebuilders for real? $LEN $PHM $DHI $TOL $HD $LOW all showed good relative strength in the last few days. Also, on Friday Buffett’s Berkshire disclosed it had bought shares of D.R. Horton and Lennar in Q2. Are the selloff among those stocks had gone too far? The home building industry has been hurt by rising mortgage rates, and an uncertain economic outlook as unemployment is edging higher.

I think the strength in home building stocks will continue specially if the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates next month. Another catalyst is that President Trump is floating the idea of removing capital-gains taxes on home sales which will hugely be a plus to spur the housing market.

Take a look at the weekly chart of Lennar. Do you see a turn around?

Why Google, Broadcom, Alibaba stocks are up while Nvidia and AMD are down!

Here is the answer – initial read is that Gemini 3 is reportedly faster and performs with deeper reasoning than ChatGPT and is integrated with Google’s family of apps and data. It is also priced at similar levels to rival AI models. But more importantly the fact that Gemini was trained primarily on Google’s TPUs ( Broadcom is TPU’s partner ) as opposed to its rivals’ reliance on Nvidia and AMD chips, is a critical data point. TPUs aren’t as flexible as Nvidia’s GPUs, which can make them less usable in a market where hyperscalers are demanding the ability to reprogram their AI systems.

But TPUs are both cheaper to develop and use less power to run at full capacity. Similar story holds for Alibaba’ Qwen AI model (using their custom less expensive chips). And that fact is spooking the market in favor of pushing $GOOGL $AVGO $BABA and against $NVDA $AMD.

“Some investors are petrified that Alphabet will win the AI war due to huge improvements in its Gemini model and ongoing benefits from its custom TPU chip,” said Ben Reitzes, tech strategist at Melius Research.
