We are at the botton, so says Barrons

A long read debating why we must be at the bottom now and all the homeowners can now rejoice that they will start seeing appreciation again.

BigPicture tore this headline to shreads. It appears it was written by some hack at Barrons. Here are some of his other headlines

“1. AIG’s Selloff: A Huge Opportunity (FEBRUARY 18, 2008)
http://online.barrons.com/article/SB120312653758273245.html

Excerpt: Last week’s plunge was way overdone ($44.10). The stock could jump nearly 50%. (Yesterday’s close: $23.08)

~~~

2. MBIA: Priced for Catastrophe (JANUARY 21, 2008)
http://online.barrons.com/article/SB120071150488302379.html

Excerpt: MBIA’s shares were savaged anew last week, and now its stock looks cheap. It trades for about $8, well below a conservative liquidation value above $30 a share. (Yesterday’s close: $3.90)

~~~

3. Sears: A Storied Name on Sale? (OCTOBER 22, 2007)
http://online.barrons.com/article/SB119283873785565563.html

Excerpt: Money-management wunderkind Eddie Lampert is likely to succeed in turning around Sears. For investors, the big payoff lies in real estate. Sears Holdings sells for $134 a share, but could have a break-up vaule of more than $300. If Lampert turns around its retail operations, the shares could rally to 200 or more. (Yesterday’s close: $70.91)

~~~

4. Macy’s: Miracle on Private-Equity Street (JULY 23, 2007)
http://online.barrons.com/article/SB118497718683573586.html

Excerpt: The shares, now about $42, could fetch more than 52 in a takeover. And there’s ample room for the current management to improve marketing and cut costs. (Yesterday’s close: $15.51)”

I was really surprised to see this cover article on this week’s Barron’s magazine. Upon reading it, I saw little merit in their arguments. They even rely on Lawrence Yun, NAR, as a source, which really destroyed their credibility.
On the other hand, Barron’s was spot on in calling this housing bubble, starting right on time in 2005 & 2006. When they put out a forecast, attention must be paid.

Barron’s may be lucky and turn out to be right (within 3-6 months) on a national scale. After all, things look like a disaster right now, which is typical of a bottom.

However, I think I’ll wait until The Economist has a cover story on the Bottom.
