Q: Everyone, When evaluating a stock purchase, what process do you follow? Specifically, what financial metrics do you review, what peer companies or benchmarks do you compare the stock against, and do you typically buy the position all at once or build it over multiple purchases? Similarly, what criteria and process do you use when deciding to sell a stock? Clayton

Q: Hi 5i,
May I please have your comments on the latest Q1 results from Sterling Infrastructure?

The stock has performed well over the last +/-3 years. For a current 3.5% position in a portfolio, would you continue to hold long term after this large jump today? Or would you trim to take some profits?

How does STRL compare to others such as FIX, PWR and POWL?
How would you rank these 4 companies for a 3 to 5 year hold?

Thanks.
