I'll up my few shares of Alcoa a little. Still looks to me that this DOW component is selling at an attractive price based on relatively low p/sales and p/book. Forward p/e -- in which I put no faith - seems to be low too. There's a mediocre dividend yield while waiting for this cyclical stock to improve. I'm guessing there's not much stock price appreciation (maybe from $27 to $35 or so in maybe a couple of years?). OTOH, in spite of high energy prices, I'm guessing the business is intact (safe), and that there'll be continuing aluminum demand from emerging markets. finance.yahoo.com
