TROX. I'll try again with a small tracking position to start. Titanium Dioxide business. A competitive business, and a cyclical business. I like that TROX is vertically integrated: "The company operates titanium-bearing mineral sand mines; and engages in beneficiation (Edit: "the treatment of raw material (such as iron ore) to improve physical or chemical properties especially in preparation for smelting") and smelting operations. It offers TiO2 pigment; ultrafine specialty TiO2; zircon; high purity pig iron; monazite; feedstock; and titanium tetrachloride products." When titanium input prices fall, mines remain for better days. Otoh, TROX debt is very high. I have to hope TROX can survive its debt mountain. Back otoh, it has survived in past: There are more years of losses with this company than there are of profits, and the company still exists. (This point is a positive argument for the stock?? -g-).

The stock's at about $5/sh. Every year past 15, the stock somehow and sometime has traded over $10/sh. I conclude TROX a decent opportunity for a reversion-to-mean play.
