Construction
IBM's Sustainability Accelerator ProgramLatinX have high participation in weather-exposed industries, such as construction and agriculture, which are especially vulnerable to extreme temperatures. With that same two °C temperature increase due to global warming, LatinX individuals are 43% more likely to currently live in areas with the highest projected decrease in labor hours due to extreme temperatures.
Globally, disasters related to weather, climate or water hazard caused 2 million deaths and US$ 3.64 trillion in losses between the 1970s and 2019. Research published in 2021 in the Journal Nature Climate Change used machine learning to analyze and map more than 100,000 studies of events that could be linked to global warming. Researchers paired the analysis with a well-established data set of temperature and precipitation shifts caused by fossil fuel use and other sources of carbon emissions. Aside from the critical finding that despite existing pledges, the planet is on track to heat up about 2.7 degrees Celsius (4.9 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century, the researchers identified an immense gap in studies. For example, fewer than 10,000 studies looked at climate change's effect on Africa, and about half as many focused on South America. By contrast, roughly 30,000 published papers examined climate impacts in North America.

HILL International UpdateHILL Intl. is one of the largest construction management firms in the US. Guess whats coming in October - infrastructure bill. Will it happen? I think so.
HILL Intl. should be a recipient of some this cash (hopefully). See previous post.
Side note: it has done absolutely nothing since I added it. Could have placed in much better places but whatever. Holding until it pops.

Infrastructure & Alternative Energy I mean need I say more than the company’s name? Just wait for that bill to be signed! This company has a backlog of $2 billion! At the same price level that took it from $12 to $24! I got the funds in place!
Sector early indicator? Yes, the Hardware trade can be sometimesRelated to the Real Estate sector, trade in Hardware and Construction Materials - here represented by the twin titans of home improvement retailing, Home Depot (HD, in green) and Lowe's (LOW, in purple) - can sometimes act as an early indicator against the broader market (here represented by the DJIA in gray, and the NASDAQ in black)... falling from peaks in Feb 2007, Apr 2011, Mar 2015.
HILL International - Value PlayHIL is a construction consulting firm that has gone through restructuring and new management. New management is turning it around and stabilizing. There is ton of global infrastructure spending and HIL should be a recipient of it. Really good candidate for a buy out once stabilized.
Looking at a long term chart, breakout and re-test looks right. Monster potential.
Paul Evans (director) bought a number of shares in May which makes me believe insiders are seeing value so why not pajama pants traders follow?

Home Depot should be in your WatchListThere is a macro narrative underway that is wildly bullish for Home Depot.
The fuse being lit here under a MASSIVE bull run evident within the latest WSJ article. Get ready for a flood of improvements and investments in homes. Keep in mind how cash flush consumers are, and how pent up they have been in their homes. The WSJ certainly made the case when they said:
"The estimate represents a 52% rise in the nation’s home shortage compared with 2018, the first time Freddie Mac quantified the shortfall."
“We should have almost four million more housing units if we had kept up with demand the last few years,” Mr. Khater said. “This is what you get when you underbuild for 10 years.”
Housing my friends is about to get red red hot.

Let's also take a peek at flatbed capacity folks. Flatbeds provide capacity for the construction sector and massive commodities within the logistics sector. New truck sales are up ...gulp 424% in march!
www.ttnews.com
Demand is wild, but who are going to drive all of these trucks with a driver shortage underway at exactly the same time?
Load postings (loads shippers need transported) are up +129.9% Y/Y
Truck postings (trucks available to haul loads) -6.9% Y/Y
-Stats provided by DAT
Let's drill in a bit further folks! This upcoming ratio is a bit like saying... the average temperature in North America is 70.7 degrees Fahrenheit, or 21.5 degrees Celsius for our friends across the pond. Not very helpful if you are trying to zero in to the Florida market vs the Alaska market. But regardless this data is stunning as the current load-to-truck ratio for flatbed is over 80 loads per trucks. In some very hot markets it is well over 120 loads per truck. Think about what that means! The average driver has over 80 loads to select from before hauling his freight. This enables him to bid himself much higher. Obviously this cost to manufacturers and distributors or even those providing raw goods in lowlier verticals all can not just shoulder this costs - it must get passed on to consumers. Clearly this will result in further inflation pressure. It is stunning if you think of it that Dr Michael Burry predicted that the inflation pressures would be observed initially within supply chains...and yes he nailed it.

There are many ways to monetize the current situation. And I recommend a plethora of strategies to diversify risk. And this includes exposure to transportation equity products, building materials, commodities, construction starts, and yes Home Depot.
The final comment I have - and please keep in mind I do not subscribe to political tribalism, I play it monk like focused on how we can be opportunistic in any environment-if Biden passes the infrastructure package again this would lead to a massive supply crunch in many of the areas outlined above. Especially flatbed capacity. Keep in mind flatbed seasonality typically does not kick up until May-June when housing and construction starts are heating up.
As always dear traders if you found this content helpful please be sure to like, share, and perhaps tell me what I may be missing in my content here.
Final content share that is a MUST READ. Manufacturing PMI is at 64.7% ... So for those unfamiliar with what that means if the PMI index is under 50 we are in a state of contraction, growth mode is evident with numbers above 50. A reading of 64.7% is frankly remarkable.

Can you see the trend friends?
Home Depot is great as well because keep in mind on days equities sold off in the broader market, they continued to march higher as well.
