TOL reports earnings Thu. Earnings expectations were sharply reduced, because of expected rising mortgage rates and an expected slowdown in new home sales. However, the 30-year fixed rate remains low around 6% and new home sales remain high (see "Weekly Economic Reports" site in the "List Your Favorite Links" category). Consequently, TOL has a forward P/E of just over six, after next year earnings were lowered from 6.40 to 4.78. The weekly chart below shows TOL closed below the lower Bollinger Band. Consequently, there may be a bounce to about 35 into or after earnings, although longer-term major support is around 20. The Mar 30 calls are 1.35 and may be worth the risk.
