Top New Stocks To Buy Right Now

Mortgage rates had to climb. Everybody knew it. The ability to borrow for 30 years at a fixed rate below 3.5% was simply too good to be true.

Earlier today, Freddie Mac released its weekly estimate of the average interest rate on a conventional 30-year fixed mortgage. While it came up short of the staggeringly high rate recorded at the end of last week, it nevertheless showed that the days of sub-4% mortgages are very likely in the rearview mirror.

According to Freddie Mac, the benchmark rate climbed by 22 basis points to 4.51% from 4.29% the prior week.

At first glance, the market's reaction to this news was perplexing.

One would have assumed that homebuilders' stocks would have been hammered, as they were last week. Yet, precisely the opposite has occurred. D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI  ) is up by 8%,�PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM  ) by 7.5%, and Lennar (NYSE: LEN  ) by 8.2%.

  In 2011, Khosla took public Amyris (Nasdaq: AMRS), Gevo (Nasdaq: GEVO), and KiOR (Nasdaq: KIOR). Each of these stocks started out trading up from the IPO price, with Amyris gaining more than 90 percent at one point. But the challenges of producing fuels from biomass began to mount, and investors realized that this business is capital-intensive. Enthusiasm for these companies dissipated as they fell short of production expectations. Since their respective IPOs Amyris, Gevo, and KiOR are down 70 percent, 92 percent, and 88 percent.
