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.

Recs 0 (JHX) ChrisGraley (80.46) Submitted: 8/20/08 7:08 PM : Start Price: $27.31 JHX Score: -12.57 I may have made a mistake on this one. Australia is pursuing the company for tax liabilities for a failed subsidiary. If they can get a tax judgment on JHX, it could greatly effect future contributions to the asbestos fund. I picked JHX to overcome the current housing crisis given the unique nature of their product and the built in demand. That could easily get overwhelmed if they fall behind in asbestos fund contributions. Now don't panic, this is just a quick initial reaction at this point and they have about a 2-3 year cushion in the fund. I have to analyze the situation a little more before I make any moves and recommend that you do the same. Whatever happens will happen slowly, so don't think your gonna wake up and see a huge drop in JHX stock. The stock was extremely undervalued before the announcement of Australia coming after them and I've read that they are thinking about relocating to the US, which would give them a big tax savings. So do your research before you sell and wait before you buy. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

I could try to time it more closely but the administration has shown that they will put a floor under this drop and that is enough for me! Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
