Q: I have seen comparisons drawn between DFH, as an 'early stage' version of NVR. With its recent branching out, to now include title insurance and mortgage broker services... would you see a big runway for growth for this company in the long term?

Q: If the US pundits are correct and we are moving in a "peak" interest rate world this would bode well for the various forms of accommodation construction. Projections seem to suggest supply will remain tight until mortgage rates ease, and I believe that is likely as we move into the latter half of 2024.

Given that, my first question to you is do you feel that now, or soon, is a reasonable time to look into companies who would benefit from an expanding US housing market? If so, I would be interested in your take on a "top 3" home builders to invest in and then a "top 3" within the home construction supply chain. I already own a couple of lumber producers and am interested in mid-stream suppliers.

Thanks very much; Merry Christmas to you all.

Q: Please provide best “lower risk” investment ideas given the housing shortage in Canada and USA?
