CAPS Rating:
***

Engaged principally in the construction aggregates business which includes crushed stone, sand and gravel, are used for construction of highways and other infrastructure projects, and in the domestic commercial and residential construction industries.

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 members 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.

MLM has gotten beat up since last summer with the downturn in the building sector. It's bottomed out now, and it may not make much noise in the next 9-12 months, but look for big movements after a year to a more appropriate stock value.
