Strong Group Rotation Pick

Spending on high tech metals should be strong and should be an export of the US.

Looking at this chart is like looking at fellow Pittspuke native Ben Roethlisberger on his way to a Delta Gamma Crush party with a pocket full of Rohypnol and mischief on his mind.
Which is to say - THIS WILL NOT END WELL. I mean, seriously, selling volume the last two days is something like 3 times its usual. This is at the top of my short watch list today.

Now what do I know? I am just a humble swing-trader. (Who, I might add, drives a ridiculously sick whip. Two of them, actually.) And when I see selling volume of that magnitude (even on the big up day yesterday) then what is getting sold like that usually gets pounded harder than whatever young lass ends up being unfortunate enough to have Big Ben get her a drink. And once that gets pounded it usually underperforms the S&P for a while and maybe goes toward getting my CAPS rating back into the 80's where it usually is when I pay more attention to this game.

Oh, plus, I also hate Pittsburgh. WOOF WOOF!!!!

Titanium is at the heart of the Dreamliner along with carbon
composites. No one can do it better than the USA.

island gap between 4/16 - 4/21

boeing dream liner will increase the demand for titanium

A penny in earnings and this shoots up. Looking for this to head to 35.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is finally done and the order flows will start and this will build significant value from any suppliers to the Boeing planes.

Titanium demand will pick up in mid 2010 with ramp up of 787 production on 1st production line, soon to be followed by addition of a second production line. Ti Inventory should reduce short term (1 to 2 year) Ti sponge price volitility and profitability but a stabilized cost structure (Labor, Magnesium, Electricity, Natural Gas and Ti Scrap) along with production base filling volumes will provide conservative returns in the 1-2 year period. Look for increased revenue and earnings begining in late 2011 excelerating into 2012.

ATI is one of those stocks I expect to shoot down when folks realize 2009 is not going to end on the upswing in which case it will be a great buy to hold on to through 2010.

Declining earnings

Initial Pick as new member- Trusting the wisdom of the fool's stock screener with the right parameters along with the confidence all you other fools seem to have in ATI. In the future, only follow one of my picks if there is a pitch added to it unless you know you want it anyway.

#28 Worst Toxic Polluter

Well run company, Good Dividend. Makes several relatively specialized products with a pretty good moat

Hitech metal fabricator. Just about now (Mar 09) is a good time to accumulate as their business has suffered wth the economy and less demand for equipment components (oil/gas driling, vehicle manufacturing) and this may continue for some time (read possibly another year or so), however the other big component is aerospace and the 787 will be making it's first test flight in a few months which should perk up interest in this industry.
