Headwaters, Inc. (HW)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a diversified company providing products, technologies and services in two industries: construction materials, including coal combustion products, and alternative energy.

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.

The most exciting part of this company's business to me is their use of fly ash, a by-product of coal fired powerplants, for use in concrete and stone veneer products.

The company is involved in construction materials, coal combustion products (CCPs) and alternative energy. Recently reported loss owing to expiration of energy tax incentives regarding alternative energy business. Value pick. Outperform.

Depended on Tax Credits for most of its profits. Now that they are gone and no end to housing slump in sight...this company will tank.

Disclosure: I am long this stock and regretting it.
