On CAPS, 55% of the 1,151 members who have rated D.R. Horton believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include yujin7 and DarthMaul09.

Three days ago, yujin7 built a convincing case against the stock:

inflated profits, government subsidies, and tax credits wear out ... 

I wonder given the current unemployment situation in the US, how can people continue paying for their houses? With lots of foreclosures still lingering, the government's extended credit deadlines for many homes will soon expire.

In a pitch from two weeks ago, DarthMaul09 echoes that bearishness:

With the number of available homes on the market, the pricing power for new homes will be limited. Credit may become more available for home buyers in the near term as the government will use all means legal and illegal to prop up the housing industry, but I doubt that the home builders can make their profits fast enough before the government's efforts collapse.
