WOR has a pension fund that is underfunded by about $1 Billion dollars and they only avg about 100M and 165M in cash flow in during boom years. So the $1B underfunded pension (using WOR aggressive accounting -the real underfunding could be much higher).

Even if the stock market does 8% a year for the next 10 years the pension underfunding will remain at $1B.

the pension issue could take away most of their profits for the next decade unless the market recovers.

Further the steel industry will remain under severe pressure for the next 18 months or longer so at 14x forward earnings WOR looks expensive.

3/12/09 Pitch: Downthumb. Earnings 4/1/09, 1:30 PM. Cash flow less than industry peers. Nominal debt/equity. Large write-downs looming. Taking aggressive cost cutting measures, but not certain if these are deep enough given the precipitous fall in demand. Would like to upthumb. But not yet.
Past trades:
12/10/08 Pitch: Downthumb. Earnings 12/18/08, 1:30 PM Going to be large restructuring costs going forward. Operating at a loss for the next year. Closed12/18/08 @ $12.18 for +8.53 points.
9/15/08 Pitch: Downthumb. Earnings 9/24/08, 8:30 AM Adequately valued at the current level. Declining margins and earnings. Why buy it? Closed 9/30/08 @ $14.98 for +4.98 points.
