Fox News calling for housing recovery this year!

Umm… is it me or did the world change suddenly at the turn of the new-year?
Charles Payne writes in his January 2nd article that there is lots of value in the building sector and homebuilders will race upward in value ahead of a housing market recovery this year.

Maybe everything I read and that I see outside my window is wrong, colored simply by my own world view and my subconscious wish to confirm that view. Or Mr. Payne has information that I and many others do not have access to. Or Mr. Payne is wrong. Statements like this make me question reality.

Any way you slice it it mystifies me…

"Sure, there will be the continuation of mergers and acquisitions around the world and widespread consolidation will pace the broad market. There is still a ton of value trapped in the market. Speaking of value, although the group has already made a nice move off the bottom, I think homebuilders are going to be huge winners as their share prices race ahead of the eventual housing market recovery. This will happen a lot sooner than the timetable, laid out by the pundits, predicted."
