Was reading some old threads on investing and was just curious as to whether any of you guys and gals do any investing specific to our industry (or related). There are a few companies I started looking at that are in the scrap metal business and are publicly traded: Sims, Schnitzer, Metalico, Industrial Services of America, etc. I wondered about a "big boy" like Alcoa, too, though they are a little bit removed from the others in terms of focus. Also recycling companies.



Not that I have anything to invest at the moment ..... just curious though. I would think given the uncertainty and fluctuations in global commodity markets that these stocks would be a roller coaster ride. And most of them apparently don't pay dividends ...
