CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company manufactures graphite electrodes, products essential to the production of electric arc furnace steel and other ferrous and nonferrous metals. Also manufactures and provides graphite and carbon products, including graphite & carbon materials.

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 members 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.

Beaten down, but not going away. If not going away, then worth a lot more than this.

Steel markets are looking strong for 3-5 years. GTI's earnings are driven mainly by the steel industry, so earnings should be strong for this period. GTI is also into the Solar, Oil Exploration (diamond drill bit molds), Electro Thermal Managment, & Fuel Cells. All markets that are booming or have great upside potential. This combination paired with the fact that all high interest debt looks to be paid off by the end of 2008 should keep earnings very strong for the near future.

Group Value play in recycled steel sector. Continued high commodity prices makes recycled steel an efficient alternative.
