This one may see a few bumps over the next year or so, but going long on this due to their product, and short-term waning from the credit 'crisis/crunch/insert c word here'. Price is good, and financials are great. Here's a few:
* Consistently rising EPS over last 10 years except 2001 (obvious reasons)
Returns (10 year average) - these are excellent:
Average ROE 29.66% Result: Good Buy
Average ROC 18.82% Result: Good Buy
Share Buyback (last 10 years)
Amount: 71800000 Result: Good Buy
There's more but I won't bore you with them ... going long here, but expect to not have timed it quite perfectly right now.

Profitable publishing company that seems to have been given more punishment than it deserves.

The price is right. May be bumpy for a while, but 40 is a great price for the longer term.

DOT is organizing millions in construction stimulation for government. Perhaps way early on the picks, but where the gov puts money there is "stimulation"

Insiders don't buy agressively but show deep interest and commitment on the company.
Harold MCGRAW executes his options but always keeps part of them, increasing his share in the company, other insiders ocasionally buy it too.
The McGraw Hill group is owner of the Standard and Poor, Business Week magazine, McGraw Hill Constrution and a bunch of other uncool stuff who is unpopular enough to make big bucks.
Here be no dragons. Outperform.

McGraw-Hill, parent company of Standard & Poor's, is going to have their hands full getting to the bottom of the current ratings scandal. Looks like Moody's may have some problems and who would imagine that during the earlier part of this decade S&P could be competitive without adopting the same dumb (and possibly fraudulent) rating criteria in order to win business. With all of the uncertainty surrounding S&P I'll play it safe and give its parent a big, fat UNDERPERFORM until further notice.

MHP has rock solid earnings and performance. Despite industry and overall ups and downs MHP tends to remain strong. S&P is a cash cow and don’t plan on MHP spinning it off any time soon. With their operations style they will generally hold their respective companies but remain relatively hands off from day to day operations. With dividends never being lowered and always increased you can bet on a solid performance over the coming years. With a few other powerful brands (JD Power, Platts, S&P, etc.) slowly gaining ground in domestic and foreign markets, their core earnings should pickup within the year with 2008 looking to be a big year.
