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 players 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.

I believe that we are seeing a perfect storm for steel recyclers in the making. High commodity prices and high energy prices means greater demand for those who can recycle steel since it requires only a fraction of the energy to produce.


More importantly, a lot of the new steel mills in Asia use e...More

Scrappy little metal recycler clicking on all cynlinders, but appears to be bumping up against both technical and valuation limits at $82 - long likely to have opportunity to buy back around $70 within next few quarters.

Bought this one based on TMFSinchurias blog about their earnings. Got a relative who does oilwell drilling consulting work. He told me that the price of steel is rising so rapidly that it has caused companies to change how they approach completing a hole. In the past, they would do detailed analysis about the size of casing needed for example 2000 feet 8 inch 1500 feet 10 inch etc. etc. to maximize the expected production of the well. Now with the price of steel so high and going higher they ask for whatever is available at today's price. They don't want to wait for new pipe to be produced for fear that it will be more expensive and may delay the completion of the hole. I believe steel goes higher from here and with it SCHN.
