Not a fan of this. They pay a dividend and reinvest capital into new projects, but this makes them dependent on generating capital gains and flipping projects.

Owns this in his income portfolio, but not in his growth portfolio. This stock has not broken its long-term trend line. In the near term it probably has some support at around current levels.

It is probably going to move sideways for the time being.
