AK Steel Holding Corp (AKS)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a fully-integrated producer of flat-rolled carbon, stainless and electrical steels and tubular products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AK Steel Corporation.

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.

Johnwilliam1 and popsdaniecki are correct. No cars, no commercial construction, cash is shrinking and lots of debt to service.

As much as we hate inflation, I didn't think the world demand for steel will slow down. The world will adapt to higher oil price.

If you have had this stock for 3 or more years you have made a good chunk of change. It's time for some to take the money off the table. I might change my call when it hits 45
