barrons3	We have very high inventories in the steel business, including mucho Chinese dumping, but Nucor (NUE) is on the move. So is AK Steel (AKS). Could be stimulus at last hitting?	Love	November 27, 2009
barrons3	Buy - Price 17.08 on Oct. 27 by Standard & Poor's Equity Research We're raising our recommendation to Buy from Sell...based on valuation. AKS posted 3Q earnings per share of 6 cents, versus EPS of $1.67 on a 52% sales decline, better than our 4-cent-loss estimate. We're narrowing our '09 loss estimate to 83 cents from 89 cents...and increasing our '10 estimate to $1.63, from $1.35, assuming higher shipment volume, well-controlled costs, and a more favorable product mix. We're raising our target to 22 from 17, to reflect our revised '10 estimate. On our price/earnings projection for '10, AKS would trade more in line with the P/E we apply to peers. Market cap: $1.8 billion.	Love	October 31, 2009

Shares of U.S. Steel and AK Steel were the worst performers for the past year, down about 72% and 67%, respectively, as the industry slashed production. Both companies and Nucor could lose money this year but see big gains in profits in 2010.	Love	July 25, 2009
