Reactions to story from Paul Kedrosky's Infectious Greed
Housing Starts Plunge Up and Down. More at 11.

I love when you get two contradictory headlines about the same piece of news. Case in point, here is my friend Barry on the latest housing starts data, following by a WSJ headline on the same nugget: With housing starts apparently plunging up and down in the space of an hour -- the two stories were published 45 minutes apart -- you can see why this market is so tough to trade. Marginally more seriously, Barry is talking about year-over-year comparisons, of course, while the WSJ is talking about a consecutive month improvement. I hate agreeing with Barry, but I am generally more interested in the y-o-y data.
