Simpson Strong-ties are an industry standard. They are specified in the building of MOST wood structures. If there is business to be had, then they are getting it.

A near total monopoly with its product line.

Expanding into Europe.

Still run by Barclay Simpson.

New "hot" products

More stringent building codes requiring more hardware.

No debt.

Dropping steel prices increase proffit.

I'll agree with the Fool--great company, but overvalued after it didn't tank with the rest of the market.

Housing cycle is done. Business is admittedly bad according to CEO. Earnings number of $1.28 in 2008, likely going to a $1.00 in 2009. 27.6x out year number seems too rich. Need convincing that this stock should not have a 27 multiple, have a look at WCC at 4x 2009 number. I admit SSD has a good balance sheet and WCC does not, but regardless, hard to deny that SSD is overvalued.

Until we are out of this bear cycle, I can only give this stock...and many others...a few weeks of outperform, not much more.

Leader in structural hardware for wood frame homes. Engineering is more critical in many localities and codes are more specificaly followed requiring more seismic and shear hardware placement.

I don't understand why you would be interested in a company with a "virtual monopoly" in this industry. Virtual monopoly means no room for market share gains, and a lot of room to lose market share should other competitors try entry. So the company's fortunes are indistinguhable from those of its end market. Since in this case, the end market is hurting badly, I don't see a value proposition here.
