How do stock market pro’s know the housing market is recovering?  They look at stocks like Sherwin Williams (SHW) because share prices of companies that offer housing-related goods and services are “on a tear.”

According to Jeff Clark who writes the “Market Notes” for Dr. Steve Sjuggerud’s Daily Wealth blog:

“As today’s chart shows, there’s a safer way to bet on the housing boom… Sherwin Williams (SHW) is one of the world’s largest paint and coating producers. The stock is in a “slow and steady” uptrend. Its share price has more than doubled in the last 12 months. And it just reached a new all-time high.”

As the housing market is recovering, some investors are buying real property and some investors are buying housing-related stocks.  It’s all good.
