I don’t think I’ve found a more faithful companion in equities recently than XHB, the exchange traded fund for homebuilders. I’ve written and talked about this thing countless times, and it simply keeps chugging along beautifully.

My homebuilder bearish position is doing fantastic, but I note that it sealed up its price gap beautifully on Friday, so I took partial profits.

Went through the top ten holdings in EFA. Here are U.S. traded stocks with good setups or look ugly enough to support a bear thesis on EFA. I have puts on SAP as mentioned in the prior post and added ASML today because I expect a global bear move will be led by the tech components. Overvalued pharma stocks might be the second place to look for someone focused more on the MSCI EAFE specifically.
