Tronox Inc. (TROX)

Tracker, I think you may be confused between titanium metals and titanium dioxide, which is what Tronox produces.

These are two different markets. Of course, titanium metal goes into aircraft construction and engines. Not TiO2.

As for TiO2 producers in the US, there is sigificant capacity that will not go away.

Most of DuPont's capacity is in North America and they are No. 1 in the world. Cristal, Kronos/Tioxide, Tronox all have their largest plants in the States also. But, the growth is in Asia.

Cristal global has started a position in titanium metals, I believe, but other producers are more focused on TiO2 production.

So, titanium metal and titanium dioxide are two different animals. If you are investing in Tronox for exposure to titanium metal, you made the wrong investment.
