Our currentbill administration is talking another stimulus package for infrastructure in the summer

No matter how you feel about the increase in government debt, the news of that bill will send this stock even higher.

What a tough spot. I don’t know if I should double down or just sell and live to fight another day. They should be hitting highs right now given the pickup in fracking and construction. If management cant execute in this environment then we may see a 40-50% decline if market conditions tighten.
H
Median house prices are up 14.8%. High end market , vacation homes, and low end home sales are up on tight supply. Sales are 9.5% up vs 6%. $Exp and $ZG will be up in a big way.

It was quite the run in 2017 but it isn’t over yet. They are in every area of construction that is hot right now. They have a nice mix of residential along with commercial construction products. Mix in the frack sand that demand will increase in 2018 for and we are looking at $135 in 2018.
E
No time to panic. Almost 95% of stock held by institutions and pretty sure they aren't the ones driving down the price. EXP is on sale, pure and simple. Buy it.
