A great company, but they need a health housing industry and that's not going anywhere soon.

The housing market isn't going to turn around anytime soon. It's only going to pick up when people abroad our US shores decide to start investing in it. Look for UFP's stock to underperform for the next year or so.

A recent showdown in housing construction has hurt the company's profitability, but it slso represents an opportunity to take market share. Buying at these levels is good value.

A good steady stock with a stable company base. I have been watching this one since it was at $13.00.

Near the low end of their recent trading range. If NOAA comes up with a below normal activity hurricane season prediction, I'll be all over this one.

STock took a giant hit in the housing slow down of the last few months. But according to Kip, it has strong cash flow and good balance sheets.
We'll see how this goes.

My 10 Stocks for 2007
By James K. Glassman
Kiplinger's Personal Finance
Now, here's a contrarian stock. Universal Forest Products (UFPI) makes wood and plastic building products, such as roof trusses, for the construction and do-it-yourself sectors. With the decline in the housing market, the stock skidded 40% between May and December. It is, however, a selection of one of my favorite analysts, Cleveland-based Elliott Schlang, of Great Lakes Review, who focuses on midwestern stocks in boring industries. He likes companies with heavy insider ownership, strong cash flow and solid balance sheets. Universal meets the criteria and, trading at a P/E of 12 based on estimated 2007 earnings, it looks awfully cheap. That's the list. Just remember warning number three.

The housing market won't sit down permanently. It may take a while, but this one will come back up.
