Commentary

SELL: ASTEC INDUSTRIES INC. (ASTE) Start Price: $32.08 Points: +32.77 Created: 12/10/2008 I feel this company has topped out for the time being. After comparing ASTE with the S&P from a 5 day point of view ASTE has underperformed. I feel markets will pull back before the santa rally and ASTE will drop with it Comments: 0 | Comment guamboy Recs:
