The U.S. is in desperate need of better infrastructure.
Right now, we’re in bad shape.
Look at bridges, for example. According to the Infrastructure Report Card, of the 617,000 bridges in the U.S., 42% are more than 50 years old. And about 7.5% are structurally deficient, which we recently saw with the Baltimore bridge collapse.
There are water main breaks every two minutes on average, with six billion gallons of treated water lost every day. More than 40% of our roads are in poor or mediocre condition.
Unfortunately, our ailing infrastructure isn’t going to fix itself.

With fixes needed yesterday, here are a couple of infrastructure stocks to own. Company: Vulcan Materials (SYM: VMC) If we do see a much-needed infrastructure boom, we’ll need a massive amount of aggregate, which Vulcan supplies. To build just one mile of an interstate highway, nearly 85,000 tons of aggregates are required, says Cemex. And again, as noted above, with more than 40% of our roads in poor or mediocre condition, that’ll require a massive amount of aggregate. |

Here’s my #1 indicator to try out now.
