TW: up 12%
RBS: up 9.3%
WMH: up 6.75%
TPK: up 6%
LAD: up 5.5%
RSDB: up 2.5%
So is this the end of the bear market? I don't think so. TW is up on better than expected US housing data, but I'm still pessimistic on the UK housing market, so I think that's only temporary. RBS is up on the Bear Stearns bailout being raised to $10 per share - that could well be a permanent rally in bank stocks. No idea why WMH and LAD are up. TPK is clearly following the housebuilders. No idea about RDSB - just bouncing back after a pre-easter fall?
I think:
- House prices will fall in the UK over the next 2 years.
- The UK will go into recession over the next 2 years.
Based on that opinion, I think we haven't seen the bottom for TW, TPK, WMH and LAD. I could well believe that RBS has seen its lowest price this year, since it is ridiculously oversold. I have no idea about RDSB, but it's still cheap even after today's bounce (30% discount to my valuation).
I think I will wait and see. At a 40% discount things will just be too tempting, but at 25-30% I'm happy to wait.
