What are your winners & losers today?

A lot of moving parts right now.  Interest rates need to stay low.  Lumber futures are finally crashing for July but the channel is already stuffed with record high priced materials.  Some are up 400% since last summer when you couldn't buy some of it even if you wanted to.  Around here a construction bid is good for about 5 days.  Have to lock in the financing fast so the smaller builders can lock in the materials or it's back to negotiations.  Some of the small contractors I deal with at work are cancelling contracts they lined up over the winter.  They can't do the job for free, and most customers aren't going to pay triple for materials if they can possibly delay the project.  This will probably solve itself in six months but the 2021 construction season is over in much of the country where the big money jobs are located.  It's going to be interesting to watch housing start numbers going forward.

I appreciate your research.  I will probably move back into it soon, but at a normal position's value, not the oversized amount I had in it before.
