Add up PEG, PE, Price/Sales, Price/Book, Price/Cash Flow and you get a number near 3.9. That tells me that the world has given up on this stock and it will sink or that things aren't that bad and people are just acting irrationally. I'll place my bet on this horse.
Energy and iron ore to China from Russia, PEG=?, YTD=67%, Apr.only=90%, a shorter transit than from S.A. or Australia, also emerging from a (Russian) black hole.
Mechel was spooked by Kremlin disfavor, falling from the 50's to the 20's. The company's profits are hit by increased price competition, but they are taking a stake in a German firm and look OK. As fear of the Kremlin fades, MTL should move above 30.
