<TXI> Bootz, check your messages. I thanked you twice for bringing TXI to this thread. I researched it and bought some shares. What do you think about STVI's news release today. Amigo Sergio

<TXI> Excerpt from Small-Caps: Where the Values Are Standard & Poor's The Outlook NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (Standard & Poor's) - Texas Industries This company is a leading producer of cement in Texas and California and is also one of the lowest cost domestic manufacturers of structural steel. Texas Industries (TXI) has enjoyed robust growth in cement due to the booming housing market, strong commercial demand and increased public sector demand. Federal spending should increase substantially as a recently enacted highway-spending bill is implemented. While demand for steel in the U.S. is strong, pricing has been hurt by a surge in cheap imports. We are cautiously optimistic about a steel turnaround due to price appreciation in the Korean won and Japanese yen, increasing U.S. pressure on those countries to limit their exports and the lack of competitors who can now match Texas Industries in price and still make money. A new threat may come from cheap Brazilian exports, due to that country's well-publicized currency devaluation. However, we think the political risk to elected officials of permitting Brazil to dump steel here makes that unlikely to happen. We estimate per-share earnings of $3.30 for fiscal 1999 (ending May) and $3.45 for fiscal 2000. The shares are ranked (accumulate). personalwealth.com
