(LEN-N)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Among the homebuilders, lots of M&A has reduced the number of choices that investors have. Age of first-time homebuyer in the US is close to 40 (sounds terrible, but we'll have more 40-year-olds in the next 10-15 years than ever before). The only guarantee in life is things will change. If the AI bubble bursts, stocks go sour, and interest rates go down, people who've made $$ in stocks will be anxious to help their kids. (Maybe Taylor Swift will announce that she's having a baby, and 6-8 million people in NA will also want a baby ;) Then things would get a lot better.Not a short-term play whatsoever. More punishment to put up with. For someone with a 5- to 10-year outlook. Yield is 2.63%.

Canada's dinosaurs created 25-year-life wells, while the US ones are only 10. Separate from Iran problems, there's going to be a need for oil. Way better if it's in a friendly country (if the US can stop offending its neighbours in Canada). Yield is 2%.
