1 Stock to Play America's Housing Boom

One of the biggest trends in 2012 was the long-awaited recovery in the housing market. And already in 2013, the housing rebound is shaping up to be one of the biggest trends yet again.

There are a number of housing-related stocks that have been performing quite well as a result. The big home-improvement retailers, for example, are delivering outstanding returns so far in 2013. Home Depot and Lowes are up 26% and 19%, respectively. Hardwood-flooring retailer Lumber Liquidators , which was one of the top-performing stocks of 2012, has seen its shares rise by almost 400% since the beginning of that year. Clearly, some investors are benefiting tremendously from the housing recovery that appears to be gaining momentum.

We feel this long overdue recovery will continue in the coming years, and have identified an underfollowed (and underappreciated) company that should outperform in the current environment. The company is Tile Shop Holdings , a fast-growing home-improvement retailer focused on selling tile and tiling accessories. We never thought we could get so excited about tiles.

David Meier has been following this company very closely for a while now, and we thought it might be helpful to share some of his research.
