WEAK BUY
The shortage of steel allowed this company to do well. They are well managed and pay a decent dividend. They are exiting their oil tubular business and will be a better company for it. But the price of steel will come down in a year or so.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 28/20, Up 94%) The stock market is discounting a lot of the recover happening. Has moved to CCL Industries now. It starts to get harder to hold in a cyclical business when it's runup this much.
steel
WAIT
Owned it in the past and sold it around current levels just above $30. A cyclical company. Well managed. Doing a lot to stabilize the business. Sold because they were too exposed to energy. A good dividend yield. Likes it and wants to own it more now that they are diversifying their business. However, wait since it is very expensive.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 13/19, Up 6%) A steady business. It's a volume business. It's ridden through Covid with confidence and is set up very well to supply steel to the US in the coming 6 months. There'll be a surge in steel demand.

WATCH
He took profits when this hit $30. Russel supplies shale drillers in the States, an industry that's been decimated. Now, they're supplying manufacturers, but this industry is uncertain. The dividend is solid ad are the managers, so he continues to watch it and would like to return to it. He's waiting.

Looks good. Support level is at the current price. Volume is okay. It's been going sideways long enough to create a support level. Exit below $27. The 5.5% dividend is great. Resistance is likely at $29. Bigger resistance at $31 possibly in the late-summer/early-fall. Next support level is $25 where you may start going through this cycle again. All mineral and energy stocks are traders, so five-year holds are not great, because you can lose money. That's why the S&P has beaten the TSX.
