moreI am retired apart from managing family investments - mostly equities. I live near Zurich, Switzerland. I keep physically fit by walking and mentally fit with an art hobby and by writing on philosophy, economics and politics as related to cleaning up our polluted planet. My writings are published internationally.
As a retired businessman with a passion for drawing, who has lived on four continents, I long ago started to appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us - the enormous variety of colours, flora, fauna and topography and the impact that has had on cultures and peoples. Most of us view that beauty without really seeing it and for thousands of years artists have tried to capture it and thus, teach us the art of seeing. My email address is jbhanshaw@gmail. com

I have not done an update specifically on MTZ but mentioned them in this article recently seekingalpha.com/.../4177118-pass-candle-please
There is a huge amount of oil and gas pipeline building in the US and more needed so I expect MTZ to get a fair share of that to.
The U.S. Spends Billions Annually On Russian Oil
Interesting points. I will add another. In the coldest part of this winter the US imported Russian LNG to stop the people of Boston from freezing! Trump could have used emergency powers to suspend the Jones Act and allow US LNG to be shipped around the coast to Boston but he did not!
Warning: The Everything Bubble Is In Serious Trouble
If one looks at the Consumer Prices chart it suggests that inflation over the period has probably averaged lees that 2%. I suspect a chart showing a longer period would show similar. In 2014 when energy prices hit their highest CPI remained low but now, at a time they have not reached that high, energy price increases are apparently a threat. I see no reason for the Fed to raise interest rates at all.

3 Construction Stocks To Buy Right Now
Good article. I prefer Ashtead to URI. That is ASHTF or, better, AHT on the London exchange. Ashtead owns Sunbelt in the US where most of its activities are.
Plastics Recycling Paradigm Shift Will Create Winners And Losers
Excellent article. Something needs to be done. Many billions are being invested in building new plastics making plants in the US to make use of low cost feedstock. Perhaps more could be done to ensure that the plastics made are only “safe” plastics. More should also be done to force food and drink producers back to using cartons again and other forms of paper packaging.
