"I believe specialty chemical companies like Albemarle are better LT buys than LYB and Dow."

I'll have to consider. As I quickly look, ALB IS better than Dow on several metrics: low d/e, higher roe. Now and over the past several years. With DOW, much bigger company, much larger dividend yield. Maybe safer (??)

I might be better switching into ALB rather than holding my recently acquired DOW shares.

ROC, CE, ALB, etc have all been thrashed lately. Been waiting
for months to initiate a position in ROC. Good a place as any,
right here, right now.

Good luck.

The question for me is how much better can it get?

I think this is important question. A number of these companies have outstanding profits in 2011 that probably should be discounted doing valuation analysis.
