>Some of these auto supplier/parts services are selling at value prices. I believe there was a hub/wheel company that I was looking at (forget the name) but it was trading at/near multi year lows.

SUP ? - Big family interest that I remember. They moved big operations to Mexico. Telsa was a big customer that I remember.

Sold out of SUP today. A core holding. It was a nice yield for holding, but now I'll capture the stock price appreciation.

That may have been it. Recent acquisitions of companies in this sector may indicate that lows are in especially on those that have supply chains in US and/or Mexico. Still need Congress approval os USMCA agreement.

I've taken notice today. The RV sector has been strong today. RE:THO-Thor- % Gainer-Better than expected earnings and the group seems to be tagging along. PATK-PATRICK INDUSTRIES INC-WGO-WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES INC-CWH CAMPING WORLD HOLDINGS INC.

Besides WGO-Thor recently bought into the marine group with an acctetive acquisition. From a speculative aspect. IMO this is encouraging for my recent HZO purchase.

BIG YES-on USMCA approval- However I took a re-look at SUP. I like what I saw. I feel the current price discounts a non USMCA agreement. > 3 I bought into some shares today.

Besides USMCA non approval-GM strike is most likely hurting suppliers. I no longer own MEI #4 on this years SITT list. It's had a nice run up since my purchase. I still like the speculative aspects of it. It looks like their recent acquisition integration might finally be bearing fruit.
