Home Construction? These go in cycles and he thinks we are at the bottom of the current one and he is back looking. You have to think if demand increases and interest rates remain low, there will be pent up demand, especially when people return to work. Plus there is a good boom in the home renovation space. He thinks the sector has legs going forward.

(A Top Pick Oct 03/19, Up 6%) A play on construction whose seasonality is end-October to February. This is trending higher, supported by major moving averages. He's buying into what goes into building new homes, like lumber which he's done very well with. Even 12 months ago, ITB outperformed, and it has since gone straight up since then. It's exhausted its run, so he's looking for something with juice.

Has done well all year. Seasonal strength is October - February. Yields and mortage rates so low is positive for the construction industry. Still showing higher highs and higher lows.

(A Top Pick Nov 23/18, Up 6%) Everything sold off in housing last year, which was probably warranted because of two years of declining U.S. home sales, which reflects the overall economy. He doesn't see strength in U.S. homes.

He's bullish U.S. housing. This ETF has risen this week, while the market has fallen. Seasonally, it's Oct. 28 - Feb. 5 because it's the run-up to homebuying in the spring. Investors are pricing in lowering interest rates, because it has been penalized by the threat of higher rates.

Likes the housing sector. It is improving in the US. One thing that holds him back from holding ETF’s in this space is the slowdown in oil, which is affecting places like Texas. That is a large part of some of these builders. He prefers something like Home Depot (HD-N).

An ETF that takes advantage of US housing starts and/or home renovations? One would be this or SPDR Homebuilders (XHB-N) as a pure play on homebuilders. Not a bad place to be and you could do very well in the next 2-3 years.

This contains some of the retail names such as Lowes (LOW-N) and Home Depot (HD-N). Feels housing recovery is a long-term theme, and we are probably in the 5th inning of that and that it will continue.

(A Top Pick Dec 3/14. Up 7.16%.) Home construction tends to do well from about late October all the way to the present. If you have profits on this, take them now. Average return is pretty close to about 7%.

This is a pure home construction play, the actual people that build the homes, rather than the retail. We are already in the period of seasonal strength, which runs from October all the way through to the beginning of February. From the beginning of December all the way through to February 3 has produced an average return of about 11.5%, outperforming the market by about 9%. The improving labour market and the low mortgage rates will tend to benefit this through to the end of the year.

If you own this and your entry point was a couple of months ago, your timing was probably poor. He wouldn’t give up on this. The natural replacement of homes in the US is something like 1.5 to 1.7 million homes and for the past 6 years or so, Canada has been producing homes closer to 1 million per year. Construction hasn’t caught up to the natural replacement cycle yet. Renting has been a huge factor and he thinks this is going to change. It is now cheaper to buy a home than to rent. Over 2-3 years this is going to be a good holding. Keep an eye on the 2-10 year yield and when that steepens up a bit, that is when it is very advantageous for homebuyers as well as home construction.
