Manufactures wallboard for the construction industry. Got knocked back pretty hard with the downdraft of the housing market. What’s interesting is that it has been basing since July and Warren Buffet has been accumulating and owns about 20%. Broke out on fairly big volume in the last 2 days.

TOP PICK
Largest manufacturer of wallboard. Warren Buffett is the largest owner at 17%. Thinks the stock has come down too far. It will have short-term trouble as the number of new homes built goes down. Long-term population is going to increase and this is what drives home construction. Could be volatile in the next 6 to 9 months.

TOP PICK
Top Short One of North America’s largest dry wall, gypsum board and ceiling tile manufacturer. 80%-85% of revenues come from the US. Given what is going on in the new home build and the housing market in the US, it continues to remain weak. Just lost over $4 in 2010 and this quarter looks to be another negative quarter. Trading at 56X forward 2013 earnings.
