Cement is not US exported commodity, therefore domestic supply doesn't not do well against the weak dollar. Weak demand for US cement supply will continue to accelerate as the bank credit problem get worse. Except a rebounds in cement to be well beyond the rebound of the banks. In the end most concrete is purchased with monies lent out by banks. No loans, no concrete, no need for cement....

TXI is a little known real estate company in the TEXAS area, one of the few areas in the country that hasn't been heavily affected by the housing slump! I heard the other day that people were saying that Texas was recession proof! I believe them! I have several friends from the dallas area, and they all confirmed that there construction and housing market in Texas is still in a BOOM! And there is no slow down in there commercial or residential market! This should bid well for TXI

Following the (CX) CMEX concept, this Texas based Building Materials giant, stands to gain huge from the possible Superhighway idea. Even if that doesn't happen, leader within the area.

Recommended by Meryl Witmer in Barron's Roundtable discussion. Produces cement, aggregates, and concrete. Potential for increased earnings if managed correctly. A good bet.

The Company is a supplier of heavy building materials in the United States through its three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products. I thought it would be a good one to track
