It has been said that a rising tide floats all boats, and this tide
has been rising pretty nicely. It's important, however, to remember
where the exits are when the market starts getting overheated.

Oh I agree! Always be a bit leery, but this is a good sign of optimism and opportunity. I hope it rides well.

I am a little sorry I took the triple on my drywall company(EXP), It
is up 7 more bucks since a month ago when it traded.
My IBM is looking good and Buffett says it still has upside potential.
T Boone's nat gas truck company (CLNE) has tanked. I may use it to
wash something else if I take something else off the table.
I am still waiting to see if this Trump thing is real.

Like all big market rallies, it's real until it isn't. When your
friends and neighbors start talking about their profits, that's a sure
sign the market is over heated. Another sign is magazine articles and
newspaper headlines.

Drywall shortages are slowing housing construction. At least in my
neck of the woods.


Wasn't there some kind of health risk problem that arose a few years
back when construction companies started using sheetrock manufactured
and imported from China?

Yes, it was a huge problem in high humidity areas like Florida. The
Chinese drywall had a high sullphur content which released sulphuric
acid vapor under the right conditions. That was not only a health
hazzard but also corroded copper wiring and pipes. The only
remediation was to strip out all of the drywall and rebuild the
interior, a very expensive proposition as you can imagine.

I believe I read that some of it contained Formaldehyde as well...

I had a friend who had the process down to about $10 a sq/ft and he
did a bunch of them.
