I work there. We are a great solid dividend producing, reliably steady company but heavily involved in serving the new housing market. Forget housing starts, we track new housing building permit applications. For sizable subdivisions, this precedes starts by a year. Building permits are at the lowest point we have seen in 20 years. The recovery (buying stuff to build houses) is at least 2 years away and probably 3. Damn, why on earth did my management decide to sell Conoco a few years ago?
