Rock Stocks

Take it from Forbes magazine -- rock stocks are hot. An article in the magazine's Oct. 3 edition points out that aggregates stocks have performed at a white-hot 39% increase while the S&P 500 has increased only 2%. One fund manager, Jacob Doft, says he's particularly high on Rinker Materials. He also notes that Lafarge has repatriated $1 billion from its Canadian operations for investment in the U.S. market. Only one complaint about the article: they illustrated it with photo of a dimensional stone operation. Uh . . . very different animal. Your comment?
