WHAT THE GOVERNMENT REALLY SAID ABOUT US HOUSING - New York Post:
"A seasonally-adjusted house is one that exists only in the government's fertile statistical imagination.
And that imagination is spewing out a whole lot of deceptive economic numbers because normal seasonal adjustments are being thrown off by the abnormal nature of the current economy."
Seasonal adjustments assume what happened before happens again. A black swan would make these adjustments gibberish.
