Stocks: All eyes on housing this week - Sep. 19, 2010:
"'The focus on housing cannot be overstated,' said Joseph Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading.

Market participants are looking at housing, unemployment and the national budget deficit as clues to whether the recession is abating, Saluzzi said. Stocks are at a level where they could break higher, he added, but people are still very cautious.

'If housing prices remain at rock bottom, people can't spend,' Saluzzi said. 'If they can't spend, we won't get a robust recovery. Housing ties it all together.'

Therefore, investors will keep a close eye on this week's reports about sales of new and existing homes, housing affordability, building permits and residential construction."
