USG Corporation (USG) threw a nice slow, almost perfect pitch right over my plate this week. I have been watching and studying this stock for the past two weeks. With Warren Buffett acting as my virtual coach, I knew it was time to swing when I heard...

Have you seen the options premiums on this puppy? Just try buying a long dated call -- there is so much optimism in the prices that it boggles my mind. I think the current price just reflects sellers getting money back after the bankruptcy.

I think that USG is going to outperform as it has some rough times behind it, the housing market rebounds, and their products continue to be in demand. You can buy this stuff "on sale" and be poised to reap the profits. Fuel costs have dropped, meani...

A little while back I added a basket of homebuilders to my CAPS portfolio because I thought, as a group, they were oversold and there was too much pessimism baked into their stock prices.
