Until things get straightened out with Obama's infrastructure plan this stock INMO will under perform in the short term. It does look like a good long term play if you can buy it on steep fast dips.

Infrastructure will boom over the next few years as it's the easiest and most efficient way to keep people working. While governments invest billions in infrastructure just think of how much money is returned to those same governments in income tax, sales tax, fuel tax etc. etc. etc.
Infrastructure is an excellent way to spend money keeping people employed and get immediate return on the dollar that just went out the door.

One thing that I am starting to learn is patience. Sometimes a person can make the right deduction but still suck on tailpipe for a long while before Mr. Market in his infinite wisdom decides to come around.
I've recently looking at the write-up of GENC, another even-better asphalt play, that's been languishing for months despite mans CAPS posters correctly calling that:
1. The economy would tank, and
2. Obama would show up to usher in a new wave of infrastructure spending that ought to benefit the company.
The market has been killing GENC all the same, despite killer profits, tons of cash, and no debt. Markets aren't even kind of efficient. They are just pseudo-efficient.

This company is all about the pavement, in a good way. They are the number one infrastructure source for that great black stuff we all love asphalt and with Barack's infrastructure plan that means stock up on this stock.

Big in infrastructure, mining and drilling equipment. Beat up in the general hammering the market has taken and IMHO unfairly so. International exposure and a founder/owner who still has a significant stake in the company. A dividend would be icing on the cake. All the political noise about offshore drilling is a distractor, Astec has the capability, the capacity and the equipment to increase output from existing onshore oil fields. Along with Dayton Superior (DSUP) I think Astec will profit from the infrastructure boom (think roads and bridges) in the U.S. that will start in (my guess) about 2 years.
