'Fast Money' Portfolios of the Week

WINDERMERE, Fla. (Stockpickr) -- The traders of CNBC⿿s ⿿Fast Money⿝ are concerned about the bearish report out of the Commerce Department that showed that new-home sales cratered 33% to their lowest level since 1963. On Wednesday⿿s ⿿Halftime Report⿝ segment, Steve Grasso mentioned that with the first-time-home credit now expired, the bearish report shouldn⿿t surprise anyone. He pointed out that copper, oil and lumber are all down and they⿿re leading market indicators. Grasso advised viewers to sell any rally because it⿿s going to be very tough to get a bullish GDP report with a struggling housing market.

Despite the weak housing data, Whitney Tilson said that if youâ¿¿re short the

SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF

(XHB) - Get Report

, it might be time to start thinking about covering your position.

Pete Najarian said the market is challenged, with copper struggling at $3, the

SPDR S&P 500 ETF

(SPY) - Get Report

stalled at its 200-day moving average and the

Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF

(XLF) - Get Report

also stalled.

Almost all of the traders agreed that any rally that comes off of the

Federal Reserveâ¿¿s

interest rate decision should be sold.

The ⿿Fast Money⿝ crew has recently highlighted trading ideas that play off China⿿s revaluation of the yuan, top energy stocks in the wake of the Gulf crisis and stocks with unusual options activity. Here are some highlights from over the past week as aggregated from the show.

This new legislation could force them to operate under a much higher fiduciary standard.⿝ The
