HOLD
This monstrous steel market is going to continue.
HOLD
Major steel shortage problems around the world have pushed up the steel stocks. This stock is in a spike uptrend and is dangerous to buy at this time. If you own, use a stop/loss.
BUY
Steel is cyclical. Has been a very consistant mover. Pricing of steel has stayed strong and capacity is tight. Relatively cheap compared to some of its competitors.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 6/04. Up 92%.) Took some profit.
DON'T BUY
Avoid. The business seems to continually go back into bankruptcy.
WEAK BUY
Low price/earnings ratio. A high cost producer, so in a high steel cycle it will make lots of money, but when the price of steel drops, it has losses. OK for short term.
DON'T BUY
Steel prices have been stronger much longer than he expected. Feels its at a peak now.
HOLD
Report of another stunningly good quarter is due Nov 2. Building up cash at a rapid rate. Will possibly pay out a special dividend. May want to take some cash off the table.
BUY
Trading around 3/4 X earnings. Highly levered to the price of steel. Has had a tremendous run. Prefers a larger cap stock such as Ipsco which also has the prospects of the large diameter pipe. As long as steel prices stay up, it is very attractive.
SELL
The amazing bull steel market may run out of steam. Be cautious. May want to sell profit.
WEAK BUY
Should do OK. Prefers Dofasco. Don't put a lot of money into it.
DON'T BUY
Company has had phenomenal earnings. Steel prices have been at record levels. All the easy money has been made.
TOP PICK
New management. Lagging other steel companies. Reported record numbers. Net debt free. They are going to cash flow over $10 a share.
WEAK BUY
Is still sector has been one of the strongest sectors. Would prefer Dofasco and Ipsco. Doesn't feel steel prices are sustainable but the pressure could continue for a while.
BUY
Likes the steel industry but this stock is not very actively traded. Easier for the individual investor to own.
