masco has been moving sideways for a while. that's to the upside.e screen here, i just want to tell you what i think the problem is with these companies right now for home depot and lowe's, is the valuations are very stretched. you're dealing with about 21 times forward earnings on all of these companies. on both of the big news here. so the good news is they've raised the earnings but when you get valuations, it is possible in the near future if the problems continue with the housing market, the earnings can hold up but the valuations could come down. if they start valuing this at 18 times forward earnings, the prices will come down even if the earnings hold up fairly well. just bear that in mind. i don't want to throw cold water on a great report but that's the concern. on emerging markets, they're still coming down. bombay is near a 52-week low. and etfs that trade here are down. i want to point out something about the etfs. these etfs trade in the united states. india is closed, but the etfs around these trade here. they trade largely on percept
