Opinions? 👀
Interesting, that would mean that new construction in the US would start to go up
Interesting sector, I would like to know the investment thesis or some data here. I was under the impression that new real estate wasn't going to go up much in the near future (not just in CR)
I was quite surprised by the reduction in the GM position. Un buying builders I'm not sure if he was buying directly from Warren or his right hand man.
