    If you're thinking about investing in housing stocks, you've got to distinguish between a valuation trade and a fundamental one, veteran housing analyst Ivy Zelman tells Barron's. KB Home (KBH) and Lennar (LEN) are Buys as valuation trades, while home-improvement companies like Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) are Buys on the fundamentals. Stay away from USG (USG) and Armstrong World Industries (AWI), Zelman says.

  • KBH a value play. Surely he jests.

    I've got a company that makes $0 (about $2.5 billion more than KBH over the last 3 years) that I'd be willing to sell him for $500 million (about half the price of KBH). Now that's a value!
