Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (CBI)

They could run for years just building out infrastructure in China.

ECONOMY REBOUNDSW WILL SPUR ENERGY CONSTRUCTION.

I think when the economy improves by 2012 this stock should do pretty well, and big oil companies will definitely need CBI for major constructions.

I am CBI for long.

Joel Greenblatt Pick

low relative PE, good chart, star ratings & 2010 earnings. Bottom fishing week of 10/26.

This account tracks the less exciting stocks from my watch list - companies that are easy to understand with clean balance sheets and good track records in relatively straight-forward industries.

Good earnings.

With economy rebounding and expecting to get better in 2010 Construction business will rebound with it. CBI will be right there. I really like this company it will be worth whole lot more in 5 years+.

I like CBI as a global infrastructure play, partcularily their oil and gas business. Plus, what's not to like in a company whose name starts with Chicago yet is based in Europe!

I expect them to outperform for the next year or so. After that, their long cycle business will hold them back due to lack of orders during the recession. Once that passes they should be back off and running

Chicago Bridge and Iron is a strange name for a company located no where near Chicago, and which doesn't construct bridges. They are a global engineering and construction company related to the energy sector, primarily in LNG plants, storage facilities, and the chemical and water industry. While they show a current negative Tangible net worth, that is related primarily to the goodwill associated with the acquisition of LUMMUS. They are making money, even in the down economy, and are poised to do even better if and when things recover. I got in when their stock was "pelted" like the rest of the market and have had a good run up, but there is still a potential for a doubling + from its current price. Has been down enough in recent times to even triple with a well timed purchase on a negative news dip. Not a good trading stock, but a good longer term investment. JMO and worth exactly what I am charging for it.

Ripe for picking for its engineering arm and solid niche overseas. May get aquired in near future.

I have been in and out of this a bunch from 12 to 5 and from 5 to 13. If it can clear the current resistance (which I think it will) it will be at $19 by the end of the summer.

Low P/E, good global presence. I oringially bought this at $4.96 share, wish I would have held on, still will more than double by the end of this year.
