1. There you go with "inflation" again Dan.
Which homebuilders are we talking about? Centex? Ryan? DR Horton? Pulte? Lennar? Toll Bros? Beazer?

I'm not sure you can find a home builder who isn't making record profits and has a record stock price. None of them look like they are close to bankruptcy.

Supply and demand are not the same thing as inflation. "Artificial" price changes (specifically steel prices changing when Shrub created/ended the import restrictions) don't count as "inflation" or "deflation" either.
