Dahlman Rose is out with its report today on Georgia Gulf (NYSE: GGC), reiterating Buy.
In a note to clients, Dahlman Rose writes, "We remain positive on GGC shares as we expect the company to benefit from better pricing and margins as it moves beyond the PVC force majeure and chlor/alkali operating issues. While 2Q11 results are likely to be weak, we see exports supporting volumes and margin gains despite a muted US housing recovery."
Dahlman Rose maintains a $40 PT on GGC.

Mild winter ahead good for ggc.

this could mean low natural gas costs.
also they have raised prices for their chemical line by 5cents.
The 3 key things that ggc needs are:
to string consecutive quarterly profits
for a better housing market
& to repay most of their debt then it will pull a netflix or a ford.
My guess is the market is going to go down big soon. I sold my shares of Georgia gulf at $20.67 I'm looking to buy back at $12-15 a share.
Whenever the market gets flat most of the time the market goes down just look at the chart.
Seems like we have some hedge funds or someone with big money making this stock move up and down in a manipulation fashion...
so we get everyone excited moving up and then start shorting it down...
So what is the next guess?
http://shortsqueeze.com/?symbol=ggc
Short % of Float (as of Oct 29, 2010)3: 25.30% seems like alot to me?
Oh heck, who knows...
Pulte group sent any housing stock down today.
In 4-5years this stock will go to $100 but not right now. However if they continue to make small profits they are in good shape. They will reduce their debt & start to repay 700million they owe. They have little in short term debt so it's under control. Judging by their earnings over the yrs they have bottomed out. Wallstreet does not know about this company. There are only at the most 3 analysts covering this company mostly J.P Morgan. Other than that I'm sure if you asked a broker what Georgia Gulf is most would say huh what's that??????? Less than 400 shareholders I think 397 to be exact the last time I. checked average volume less then half a million market cap under a billion. Maybe a while ago more people knew about it but not right now.
Right now it's short term which is why I'm playing it. It is not a long term hold because the housing market hasn't recovered yet. But when it does this stock is going to fly. Earnings should be good due to better housing news higher commodity chemical prices & low natural gas costs. I'm looking to sell around $22 a share & get back in around $13-15 a share. I believe we are going to have a big pullback in the market so I'm in a selling mood.
The main threat to this company is a double dip recession which could mean they go under but most people don't think that's likely
I think wall street knows this stock... They've been around for a long time. Why do you think they are going to make a killing when the housing market sucks right now? Most of the products they make are directly related to new construction.
Fundamentals don't make me want to really jump up in here... I think feedstocks will go back up and hurt this company... It anybody's guess... I guess
MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS STOCK!!!!!!!!!
90%+ institution owned!!!!! Less than 400 shareholders in this company
You can play this for the short mid & long term.
[Possibly one of the best stocks out there!!!!!!b]
this company has massive upside potential over the years as long as the housing market continues to recover
this could be $100 a share in 4yrs considering the average price over it's history on the NYSE is $500-600 dollars after the 1/25split
they finally turned the corner and have made profits after losing money since 2005-2006 with the decline of the housing market. They almost went bankrupt but have moderated themselves they owe around 700million in the long term with borrowing capacity of just over 100million
this quarter should be very good due to higher commodity chemical prices along with low natural gas costs & better housing#s.
Overall strong buy but I would wait for the market to go down & load up at $13-15 dollars a share good luck!!!!!!!!!
Bleeding cash.. due to feedstock cost with them unable to increase prices...

Georgia Gulf Could be a very nice trade from current pps. Shares are very limited here after the RS.
back under the radar.
50MA crossed the 200MA (golden cross)
BB are tight
low volume though
eagle eye on it again.
Is anybody else out there trading this but me???
Including me.....
I sold 3/4 of mine yesterday at $25 and the rest at $39 today. I guess I should have held longer! There are a lot of people who are kicking themselves right now.
I guess your happy today. Unbelievable.
I cannot believe GGC has run post split from 7 to 26...I have a hunch, it may keep going. Always be safe, and lock in profits.
GGC needs to chill the F out, ive never owned anything that constantly runs, ever.
If you guys feel bad, shoot, i held alot of these and dumped them on the news of the R/S. I thought this was sure to be a tanker.
No that was ACCURATE. Only Problem I couldn't trade it as ETRADE had now recieved the shares yet. So instead of 8K only 3k. Hammer
I could not believe HOD @ 20.75 if I'm not mistaken.
THIS GGC gonna make me 8K after the SPLIT and GAIN today. Hammer
try 150%, who knew this could become a monster
I can't believe this was up 100% today. I was thinking it would go the other way.
damn, look at the POS run!
It was either today, or yesterday. I just realized it about 4 hours ago.
when did this R/S?
Took a position in this today @ 25. Crossing my fingers.
I'm in some, what the hay, this has alot of volitility it appears. Looks like a bottom and coming up. Back to a buck please sir!
Strong close too.
just jumped in this one! couldn't pass up
wild upticks!
