Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I am puzzled by recent share-price movement downwards in homebuilders, especially given the alarmingly low interest rates. Are UShome builders likely to stay in the doldrums for more than a year , do you think? For example, DHI is profitable; has very low PEG (0.54%, I think); reasonably good cash flow; manageable debt &c., yet shares are going down. (Incidentally M/I Homebuilders, symbol MHO, is even better valued!)

My question however is only about DHI. Please give your views on what you think one should do with holdings in DHI if one wants to build a cash cushion to deploy when markets panic and sink. Please ignore tax consequences.

Q: In a receent article in Barrons a 'new' sector called 'observability' was referenced. This is a fancy word for companies that provide third party mangement of IT infrastructure of I assume large companies. They touted Datadog and Dynatrace as opportunities although expensive on an EPS basis. Any thoughts on the sector and these stocks?

Q: you recently suggested soxq as a reasonable investment in the semi space.
I looked at their listing and noticed that they are currently averaging less than 30,000 daily transactions. As you mentioned, their charges for both the balance of the year(zero) and only .17 points for the future seem to make this an attractive etf to invest in. Does the low amount of daily transactions affect your outlook.

Q: I know that abbivie is one of your favourites. But, I have been worried that .ABBV does not have a diverse product offering and is heavily reliant on one drug - Humira . I have also read that there is a rotation out of healthcare. I was wondering what were your thoughts on this problem? Wondering also, whether because of the rotation out of healthcare, whether this might be a good time to sell?
thanks
