Investors weigh profit taking on steel stock splits
A reader asks whether to take profits on Bethlehem Steel Crucible and Republic as steel stocks rise. The answer notes that splits often precede price gains, but warns that profits may be offset by added costs and that expert analysts often anticipate splits. Bethlehem, Crucible and Republic are recommended along with Eastern Stainless Ipland Steel and National Steel. Carborundum shows strong growth prospects due to expansion into atomic energy and related fields with a 1958 earnings uptick. False statements about stock splits are debunked with evidence that pre split gains can be substantial.
