Q: Do you ever cover any non-listed corps involved in Real Estate, or offer any opinions on pre-construction Real Estate (Commencial and Residential ) opportunites?

There are many "private" construction deals available but there are very few tools to help the average Joe separate the wheat from the chaff?

Q: In the answer to question asked by Richard you state that the 2019 EPS for SIS 2019 is 83 cents.
The company recently announced an estimate of $60M earnings for 2019 with less tha $50M shares outstanding, which is obviously a higher EPS than your est. Is this because the company is referring to EBITDA and you are referring to net earnings?
When we are shown the forward EPS on Morningstar etc..., are they referring to EBITDA or net earnings? Is it really only net earnings that matter? Please explain.
Thanks
John

Q: Like other Semis , SWKS has seen high price volatility in the past year. I hold other Semiconductor companies (foundries) in both taxable and non-taxable accounts. Would appreciate your insight with substance, including for example on:
1. Is SWKS more vulnerable to trade tariff tensions between the China and the US?
2. Does it have a wide enough moat? Wider than most others in the semiconductor ‘space’ ?
3. Does it have valuable patents e.g. in 5G or is it just as vulnerable as Micron has been to intellectual property theft by other countries?
4. Would you continue to hold?
