Spoke To Titanium Metals Today

Their plant expansion in Henderson, Nevada was completed a few months ago and the original plant was opened in 1940. Therefore, increased earnings should include revenues from this operation that may not yet be anticipated. TIMET's current annual sponge manufacturing capacity, including the recent 4,000 metric ton expansion in Henderson, Nevada, is approximately 12,600 metric tons. Plans for the new facility are expected to provide for an initial 10,000 to 20,000 metric tons of capacity to be built in phases.

Very Good Boeing News Today - Great For TIE and ATI

NEW DELHI, Jul 30, 2007 (The Canadian Press via COMTEX) --
India will likely need 911 new passenger jets over the next 20 years to meet the growing demand for air travel, Boeing Co. said Monday, announcing an upward revision to its earlier forecast. India's demand for new planes over the next 20 years could result in orders worth $86 billion at current list prices, making it one of the world's largest markets for new jets, Boeing said in its latest market outlook for India. India's rapid economic expansion in recent years, coupled with policies to break the monopoly of state-run companies in the airline sector has driven demand for air travel and new planes. In 2003, India had a fleet of only 121 planes, which has since increased to 257 with 387 firm orders for new planes by Indian firms. In the past two years, Boeing has won orders for 144 jets worth $21 billion, said Dinesh Keskar, Senior Vice President of sales. The success of private airlines and the surge in air travel has encouraged companies like Boeing to repeatedly revise their forecasts, Keskar said.

Re-Post Of Good Chart Patterns

Indicators like TRIX and MACD are not perfect, but they do help in the timing of momentum moves in good stocks. TRIX oscillates around a zero (0.00) line. When it is used as an oscillator, a positive value indicates an overbought stock while a negative value below the 0.00 line indicates an oversold stock. TRIX is designed for trading trends. Trix uses a triple-smoothed moving average. This indicator will keep you in trends shorter or equal to the window period. Here are some examples. The Bullish signal is "best" indicated when the lines cross up and is below the 0.00 line. Please click on the picture for a better view:

Alcoa News - New York Times

Click: Did BHP make an offer on Alcoa? A Source Says Yes.
.........

Some in the mining industry maintain that BHP is the only company with the means to buy Alcoa, probably in the $50 billion price range, given Rio Tinto’s offer for Alcan.

Mr. Meyer, however, said it might be possible that two other huge companies — Anglo American, the diverse South African-founded conglomerate now based in London, or Companhia Vale do Rio Doce of Brazil, which bought the Canadian nickel company Inco last year — may also have designs on Alcoa.

On Monday, the Brazilian company announced plans to build an alumina refinery in the northern part of the country with Hydro, a leading Norwegian producer of aluminum. It said in a statement that it had “strategic focus on bauxite and alumina.”

Representatives of Alcoa and BHP both declined to comment, although reports last week from Australia suggested that BHP was not interested in bidding for Alcoa.

But an executive with knowledge of Alcoa’s strategy, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the company received a buyout offer, most likely from BHP.

The timing remains the unknown.

China's Titanium Plants

Since titanium's  initial  applications,  the number of end-use markets for
titanium has significantly expanded. Established industrial uses for titanium
include chemical plants, power plants, desalination plants and pollution control
equipment. Rapid growth of the Chinese and other Southeast Asian economies has
brought unprecedented demand for titanium-intensive industrial equipment.

In November 2005, Titanium Metals (TIE) entered into a joint venture with XI'AN BAOTIMET
VALINOX TUBES CO. LTD. ("BAOTIMET") to produce welded titanium tubing in the
Peoples Republic of China. BAOTIMET's production facilities will be located in
Xi'an, China, and production is expected to begin in early 2007.

July 14 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks climbed for a third straight week, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average to records, after takeover speculation swept through the metals industry and companies announced $49 billion of share buybacks.

Companies have announced about $1.4 trillion of takeovers and $466 billion of stock buybacks this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and Birinyi Associates Inc.

What Is TRIX?


TRIX is a momentum indicator that displays the percent rate-of-change of a triple exponentially smoothed moving average of a security's closing price. It was developed in the early 1980's by Jack Hutson, an editor for Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Oscillating around a 0.00 "zero" line, TRIX is designed to filter out stock movements that are insignificant to the larger trend of the stock. The user selects a number of periods (such as 15) with which to create the moving average, and those cycles that are shorter than that period are filtered out.

The TRIX is a leading indicator and can be used to anticipate turning points in a trend through its divergence with the security price. Likewise, it is common to plot a moving average with a smaller period (such as 9) and use it as a "signal line" to anticipate where the TRIX is heading. TRIX line crossovers with its "signal line" can be used as buy/sell signals as well.

Like many oscillators, TRIX oscillates around a zero line. When it is used as an oscillator, a positive value indicates an overbought market while a negative value indicates an oversold market. When TRIX is used as a momentum indicator, a positive value suggests momentum is increasing while a negative value suggests momentum is decreasing. Many analysts believe that when the TRIX crosses above the zero line it gives a buy signal, and when it closes below the zero line, it gives a sell signal. Also, divergences between price and TRIX can indicate significant turning points in the market.

TRIX calculates a triple exponential moving average of the log of the price input over the period of time specified by the length input for the current bar. The current bar's value is subtracted by the previous bar's value. This prevents cycles that are shorter than the period defined by length input from being considered by the indicator.

Advantages of TRIX
Two main advantages of TRIX over other trend-following indicators are its excellent filtration of market noise and its tendency to be a leading than lagging indicator. It filters out market noise using the triple exponential average calculation, thus eliminating minor short-term cycles that indicate a change in market direction. It has the ability to lead a market because it measures the difference between each bar's "smoothed" version of the price information. When interpreted as a leading indicator, TRIX is best used in conjunction with another market-timing indicator - this minimizes false indications.
