Lennar earnings drops by 73%

Lennar 1Q profit slides 73 percent (AP)

AP - Lennar Corp., one of the nation's largest homebuilders, said Tuesday its first-quarter profit tumbled 73 percent on continued softness in the housing market, and warned it doesn't expect to meet its 2007 earnings guidance.

This may be a slowdown signal.  The housing sector is already showing signs of recession.  Uh-oh.  Did I say recession?  Let us hope not.  Remember, when the US Market sneezes, the whole world will catch a cold.
