Beaten down (Sept 2006) and very cheap compared to growth (and I believe superior to VMC). Rocks may seem boring but you won't have to worry about foreign competition since it would cost too much to ship. As Peter Lynch said, diversified companies may sell off some pieces of their business due to lack of success but, if they have them, they always keep the rock pits.

A construction aggregates company well-known by me, which generates tons of free cash flow, with a well-developed infrastructure to deliver construction aggregate materials (limestone, granite, sand, gravel, etc.) to its markets, particularly in the Southwest and Southeast, where demand is great, and the market has permitted significant price increases to carry this company's stock price even higher in the long run.
