Marketgems Earnings Trader- Trading Strong or Weak Earnings Growth

[Joe Stocks]

RYL- Reports tonight. On Oct 3rd they reported that new orders were up just 5.4% for 3Q. Now for the first nine months they were up 13.5% so we see that orders droped off a good bit. I think they could make the 2.14 a share, but, I think they will be hard pressed to make the 2.79 for 4Q that is estimated with just 5% plus or so new orders. MDC recently said they may miss 4Q but blamed it more on timing- and got away with it.
