I can think of 3 manufacturers. Nucorp, AK Steel, US Steel.

The latter, is trading at 2x earnings and has 26% of their stock short. Very odd....

Is it possible that the short side is politically motivated, could it be Soros?

Steel stocks, have been torched over the last 18 months, while they have been profitable.

Every company that wins a bid to build a segment of wall, has to source their own suppliers.

" The United States is calling for new duties on some steel products from Mexico and China,
saying exporters in those countries received unfair subsidies.
The US Department of Commerce said Monday that exporters of fabricated structural steel in China
benefited from subsidies ranging between about 30% and 177%,
while those in Mexico received subsidies of up to 74%."

"In March last year, US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs of 25% on steel
and 10% on aluminum imports from several countries.
But Trump agreed two months ago to lift tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico,
in an attempt to defuse tensions as the three countries negotiated a new trade agreement. "

The design is strong - with steel, rebar and concrete poured inside - but the problem is drug dealers can easily pass drugs through the wall. No more having to toss the stuff over - just small packet it through the bars.

Trump’s idea of concrete was better... put a path on the top with guard towers and it would have worked better and longer.
