Lots of economic data out this morning.  One report that caught my eye was homebuilder sentiment, which remains elevated, with February 2018 the highest reading since the data series began.  This is the first time since 2005 that prospective buyer traffic has remained in expansion mode for four straight months, reflecting continued public interest.

That confidence was mentioned in the NAHB press release:

 “With ongoing job creation, increasing owner-occupied household formation, and a tight supply of existing home inventory, the single-family housing sector should continue to strengthen at a gradual but consistent pace.” Robert Dietz, chief economist at NAHB

For the Dow, 25,000 to 25,200 have been my key upside number, which it hit.  Resistance sparked a sell-off.  However, I think President Trump’s comments on the horrific shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida were helpful, and the market has regained its footing.
