Home Builders report very poor results, media ignores

I'm overwritting my post on how TOL and BZH were going to report this morning and switch to saying they did. Their results were horrible! Toll brothers is reporting a 55% drop in home orders but only a 10% drop in revenue. BZH was just as bad, new orders off 58%.

"We continue to look for signs that a recovery is imminent but can't yet say that one is in sight," Chairman and Chief Executive Robert I. Toll said in a statement.

Ouch!
