Owens Corning (OC)

Most people took the last 2 years off from building houses or buying cars. Are we suddenly going to use fewer of them? Owens Corning (OC) integrates this pent-up building demand with the possibility of increased energy efficiency. This is similar logic to buying Honda (HMC), although TM or F would probably work just as well. The dual reasoning is essential with these green energy plays as it is looking increasing likely that people in general, that is Homo sapiens the species, is not socially designed to think outside the benefit of his family or local tribe. If the total destruction of our civilization and death of 50% of humanity within 50 years were irrefutable, still over 40% of our senate would find a way to deny it if it was inconvenient. Hopefully those of us who are older will at least die well-off before then. This is not meant to be political, just an observation on mass human behavior.

The commercial and residential real estate markets have way to much supply, and with banks coast to coast stuffed with poorly performing Construction and Development loan, I don't think much construction will be happening in the next few years.
