Commentary:
"Housing continues to be strong in this economy. In a study by the Joint Center for Housing conducted by Harvard University, equity is spent much quicker from the housing sector than from stocks. This is because the homeowner has more confidence in his equity recovering more quickly than if he used stock sales to make large purchases. The U.S. Federal Reserve board estimates that 15.2 trillion is in home equity as of the 4th quarter of 2003," stated Sonja Rudd in Wall Street News Alert's daily commentary continued at: http://www.WallStreetNewsAlert.com.
