Barrons	Makes cement and concrete. Witmer thinks Texas is the new Florida with reasonable housing prices and continued growth. And also the cement industry has high barriers to entry and strong cash flows. She notes that the company is "under-earning" compared with its competitors and that if they cut costs they can earn over $7 a share. Also interesting is that the CEO of Orascom, an Egyptian cement producer is going activist on TXI and that ORascom might try to take over TXI. She thinks TXI can hit 78 to 100, up from its 67 now.
