This fast growing company has retained a P/E ratio of 11 over the last 4 quarters (to June 2009). Previously, LXU experienced rapid growth in profits, from 12.9 mil in 2007 to over 30 mil in the first two quarters of 2008. A return to that rate would be a P/E of 4.

Geothermal Heating Pumps were highlighted in the news recently. The technology appears to be one worth watching. Company has a lot of "green" technology options. I like the potential.

yahoo finance key statistics notes 1.33M shorts last month and 0, that's ZERO as of Oct 10. Diversity of services/products. Geo-thermal with new political scene for next four years. Must admit this was an impulse buy but looks good at this entry point.

Beat down too much. There's been too much of a backlash to their report about the plant being closed down. I believe their might be a run up to their earnings and then a little bump after they release their earnings.

Electrical grid problems are coming; utilities will be ramping up on alternate sources. Stock's taken a beating lately.

Still looks like there is some value here. Even with the recent market increase of over $5 per share. I am curious to see their third quarter results. That should be telling if their year is going as well as other analysts think it is. Fairly diverse company that looks like it could prosper in a variety of environments.

LXU: LSB Industries Inc. is a top notch climate control and chemical products company. I’m going to go ahead and assume that it’s in the bargain bin cause of the mortgage crisis that is sweeping America. Just cause they’re not building homes doesn’t mean that the air conditioning doesn’t need replacement. It’s feeling hot. So is this opportunity.
