Rockwood Holdings, Inc. (ROC)

CAPS Rating:

The Company is a global developer, manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced, high value-added specialty chemicals and advanced materials used for industrial and commercial purposes.

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.

Rockwood has strong earnings growth and a relatively low P/E. On a technical basis, the stock is showing strength. As Gary B says, it's "strong getting stronger"

Recs 0 (ROC) skyops (< 20) Submitted: 7/20/08 1:00 AM : Start Price: $37.69 ROC Score: -29.73 This is the only large scale U.S. producer of Lithium. It also has a worldwide presence and is the worldwide leader in lithium engineering technology. Their expertise will be used across the globe in the upcoming hybrid/electric car bonanza. In the coming months and years I believe Lithium use will skyrocket and Rockwell will be well positioned to become incredibly profitable. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
