Is The Market Missing The Forest For The Trees At Weyerhaeuser?

Residential construction is healthy and the prices of building supplies like sawlogs, timber, and OSB are very healthy… and yet, Louisiana-Pacific (LPX) and Weyerhaeuser (WY) have had lousy runs in the stock market this year and over the last twelve months.
