barrons3	Now, bears, what happens if we get a jobless claims number under 500,000? We know that Vulcan Materials (VMC), in a much-overlooked statement, said the stimulus is at last here. Vulcan's business is about building, and there hasn't been much from the stimulus.	Love	November 12, 2009
barrons3	"Fast Money" guest Gary Kaminsky, the former managing director at Neuberger Berman, offered a few pointers on how to pick good investment opportunities out of the junk of a list of the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500. Two of his favorites? Vulcan Materials (VMC) and SunTrust (STI), two housing-market-related companies with big exposure to downtrodden Florida. Despite that seemingly frightening fact, Kaminsky said that tax-loss selling by mutual funds have pushed these two stocks lower than their relatively strong fundamentals should have allowed. He expects Vulcan and SunTrust to be outperformers from October through the end of the year.	Love	September 30, 2009

barrons3	What should you own then? Cramer likes Martin Marietta [MLM] and Vulcan Materials [VMC] because they make asphalt, concrete and cement. Both companies get half their sales from U.S. roads and bridges construction. Look to pick up MLM in the mid $60s and VMC at $49 and below.	Love	December 04, 2008

barrons2	From Barron's 8-19-07: "Vulcan Materials boosted its quarterly in February, to 46 cents a share from 37 cents. Its stock was recently quoted around 89. With U.S. residential construction spending at its lowest point since April 2004, Marietta is relying more heavily on roads and commercial work to pick up the slack. Also, aggregate supplies are tight in several of the company's key markets. It therefore has been able to raise prices, driving margin expansion and keeping profits at record levels."
