Kastel, I'm betting on a recovery in "old economy" stocks -- with the vaporisation of Bethlehem Steel, consolidation and production rollbacks we might get a nice bounce off the bottom. Stelco does pay a dividend, $0.12 per share - and yup, you are correct in your assumption of it "ain't looking up," unless ... you factor in the price of energy.

The stock trades at 30% of book value and has a price to sales of .1 -- very bottom-ish n'est pas?
