Yes, but it's also about international trade, so it could sell off again. But if you pull up the 5-10 year chart, it's a thing of beauty, and that's what you're trying to invest in. Exceptionally well managed, steady compounder. Always looks expensive, but whenever you buy it seems to be up 15-20% a year later. This dip is a great time to buy.
Excellent business that has owned for over a decade. Ability to allocate capital very good. Excellent management team that has been able to allocate capital well. Ability to generate cash flow very good. Share price appreciation spectacular. Will continue to own for the long term.
Its customers are facing difficulty with making decisions given the uncertain trade environment. We think that it will see increased uncertainties in sales and earnings guidance, but largely, it has navigated challenges well in the past (2020) and we would be comfortable holding or buying here.

Software company, specialty is supply chain management and logistics. Unique, well run, exceptionally strong balance sheet. Currently trades at a rich valuation, but typically trades even higher. Hit by trade uncertainty from Trump tariffs. Still below his buy price today. Will do well long term. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $164.03)
This is in the logistics business. It has been a very strong performer over the last few years, but has come under pressure over the last few weeks, but pulled right back into the 150-day moving average. Technically it is still okay. He likes the long-term theme. If it broke the 150-day moving average, he would be gone. In the near term, it provides a pretty good entry point.
