AK Steel Holding Corp (AKS)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a fully-integrated producer of flat-rolled carbon, stainless and electrical steels and tubular products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AK Steel Corporation.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Steel is still in great demand worldwide so the prospects are looking very good for a few years.

global demand for steel will remain high, and automotive will still continue to build cars, just different types of cars.

The dramatic reversal in commodities and construction materials was a long overdue correction, nothing else. Think about it, what has changed? If you are short this stock, you better have protection. This stock, at this price, is a "steel" (sorry for that).

Implied volatility on AKS is up, according to WSJ, and with the battle between automotives and the steel industry over surcharges, I'm pairing this short sell with one of Ford.

As much as we hate inflation, I didn't think the world demand for steel will slow down. The world will adapt to higher oil price.
