    LEVITT Bites the dust!

    Unbelievable....... Levitt & Sons finally throws in the hammer and declares bankruptcy. Beazer homes may be next, and I just heard on the news that the sub prime mortgage mess will cost the American economy 2 TRILLION dollars. Alll because the average Joe had to own a home he could not afford, and greedy mortgage lenders were only too eager to give him a variable loan they knew he could never repay . Oh well so what else is new?

    Here is the news about Levitt and Sons .

    Levitt Meets its Match

    But some 200,000 houses and 60 years later, the builder that was once featured on Time magazine when it really meant something has fallen on hard times. Levitt and Sons declared bankruptcy last week.

    Citing "unprecedented conditions" in the home building industry that left it unable to meets its financial obligations, the Levitt Corporation (NYSE:LEV) homebuilding unit filed for Chapter 11, leaving its creditors, vendors and customers in the lurch.

    And of course unwary Joe investor gets kicked in the family jewels again.

      NB my dad always used the expression "This Too Shall Pass" and how right he is. Not to worry it will all work out in time, although we may incur some pain. Bottom line if you do own any BLDG stocks I would DUMP them....... Like Yesterday. LOL NB have a beauiful day .....and when in the church ....say a few prayers for the Levitt boys !

        Pete,
        I'm still waiting for a bottom in regional banks. If a little birdie would whisper the day in my ear I'd buy him food for life.

          Hey Pete,
          I think LEV is a bargain with forward p/e at -4.30 and 12 month earnings -5804%. How can earnings be down more than 100%? That's got to be real bad. Only thing worse would be down infinity.
