Believes Donald Trump is likely to follow through on tariffs in order to assert dominance. As a result, is starting to build up cash in the portfolio and take defensive position. However, tariffs on energy sector will be very hard to manage from a US perspective (critical part of economy). Is surprised that the market continues to rise in the face of tariff threat. One explanation for rising stock market is the perception that Trump will cut taxes, and deregulate industry.
Excellent company that is founder led (lots of skin in the game). Expecting shortage of affordable housing to be very good for business. Ability o acquire new properties, and fix them up is very good. Rising population without rent control is good for profit margins. Zero equity raises since original IPO is incredible track record.
World leader in flight simulation business. Strong company with recent performance in the stock market. Latest quarter has had a bit of a slowdown on sales, but overall the business is strong. Evolution of new pilots that will require new training will be good for business. Expecting high single digit revenue growth. Would recommend holding.
