STU - Steel & Tube Holdings

[Lawso]

Sorry.

[BRICKS]

BRICKS visited STU today and is most impressed with the outcome well maintained buildings
not like the old days they are taking a bit of a beating just at present but the two things going for them One Steel wants to BUY & they pay DIVIDENDS..

[macduffy]

Yes, I agree with that.

STU is one of my income stocks and a classic cyclical IMO.
Ideally, I should be lightening off at the peak of the cycle ( SP and economic activity) and loading up at times like these. I never do, of course, but it's still a good earner even when times are tight.
Might still buy a few more but there are so many other girls to kiss and I'm still only grudgingly parting with my cash.

Now thats a business idea Macduffy now that its legal to get paid for kisses?

Hi STRAT.

No, not a business idea so I can't cut you in on it I'm afraid.



Just a mixed up use of the old investment axiom ..... "You can't kiss all the girls."

Now $2.15. FY result out today and puts it on P/E of about 19. Not that they're in bad shape, just a great example of a cyclical. Heavily dependent on capex, especially in commercial building and rural (dairy sheds). Hard to see much pick up for a while. In another year or so, maybe everyone will have forgotten about how much money they make in a boom and it will be time to buy. After all, they are "well-positioned for the future", eh Percy?

You are as allways, exactly right Lizard.Well run company,with strong balance sheet.A good company to have on watch list.

This chart shows any STU "Buy" signals, Bullish Divergences and positive indicators.
STU appears to be on the verge of a trendline break.
Note that this is an unconfirmed trendline.
Vtrader notes that there is no volume support and other indicators are yet to fire.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that STU is still in a 6 year downtrend.

[percy]

Hoop, thank you.
Phaedrus,thank you.I saw the long term down trend,but thought it may have turned. I suppose I was looking to buy.Was not sure,.so very much appriciate your guidance.
