  3. The ATI/Boeing is a rumor. Titanium is used in several places:
    Engines - made by G/E and Rolls Royce. They demand the high heat and low weight that only titanium can use
    Frame - No change. Boeing depends on the lighter weight titanium.
    That is already 85% of the titanium used in planes.
    The #1 selling point of the Boeing 787 is energy efficiency. That is provided by the titanium lower weight.

    STOP LOSSES
    I would set a trailing 12% loss given the extra volatility. For now, I'm not bothering because I think they are beaten down about as much as they can be. Many of these companies are flirting with P/Es of around 20.

    Well..so what if it is just a rumor. When dealing with such momentum stocks (anytime a stock goes from $9 to $90 in 12 months, that is pure momentum!), rumor is just as important as fundamentals! heck for that matter rumor can kill any stock let alone a recent darling!

    stop losses are a must!
