However, some companies can build in features that people want to buy, and produce this stuff very profitably. ATI's gross profit margin is 37% and has been steadily rising.

So what features does ATI build into their products that their competition doesn't? I have no arguments about ATI's profit or its management, but I need more than "they make money in a cut-throat industry" in order to add them. Keep the discussions coming!

Thanks for the idea, ILG. You have a terrific nom de plume, and your portfolio lives up to it. Would you mind giving me some insight into your transformation from a trader to an investor? I may be headed that way muyself.
