Other positions: CVX, INTC, T, QSR, MO, TWTR, FB, BABA to give a sense of my style. Begin entering position before Q4 earnings.

Buying and owning real estate is an investment strategy that can be both satisfying and lucrative. Unlike stock and bond investors, prospective real estate owners can use leverage to buy a property by paying a portion of the total cost upfront, then paying off the balance, plus interest, over time.

ARVL looks very attractive. It’s just $1 a share and it still has its investments from big auto manufacturers. It is very focused on quality and has responded to market events with care. The company will begin its production of low cost EU certified electric buses in Q4. Electric is the future and now is the time to invest! While big auto manufacturers have quickly begun production, their cost has continued to increase, while ARVL offers a competitive product that will evolve in 5-6 yrs.
