Toll Brothers Cuts Delivery Forecast

"Toll Brothers (TOL:NYSE - news - research - Cramer's Take), continuing its adjustment to a less-frenzied housing market, reported another strong quarter of home sales Tuesday but again tempered expectations for its 2006 delivery rate.
The mansion purveyor said first-quarter homebuilding revenue rose 35% from a year ago to $1.33 billion, while its backlog rose 22% to $5.95 billion. Less impressive was the company's rate of signed contracts, which fell 21% to $1.14 billion amid uneven demand, and deliveries, which Toll said were below plan. "


We've been calling housing bubble and burst for some time - 1.5 years or so. It's time to take action and short the shit out of TOL
