One of my favorites is Toll Brothers (TOL), which styles itself "America's Luxury Home Builder." Toll Brothers is now operating in 20 states, selling homes that go for an average of $606,000. It was absolutely hammered in the industry's collapse. Sales fell from $6.1 billion in 2006 to $1.5 billion in 2011, while a profit of $4.73 per share in 2006 turned into a loss of $0.87 per share in 2008 before rebounding--thanks to widespread cost reductions--to a profit of $0.24 share in 2011.
