2 major advantages...
TITANIUM products and AEROSPACE means GROWTH !!!

entry point below 70 $ opportunity

TIE has gone up too fast ! Let it come in a little, under $65 is a BUY ! It will see $100 in 2006  !!

TIE will NOT go under 60, the most was to touch 20 days EMA, after two days sell ff.....TIE is going to be one of 10 top companies in 2006, titanium demand is much over supply, specially for civil and military avio industry...Facts:

1. TIE is the numberr one titanium supplier in the Western world, "right place in right time"
2. BA and Airbus are having huge orders, mining is not the problem, processing is...
3. recent sell off was caused by "shorts attack", tight stop loss orders, and profit taking...

Looks at this ascending triangle!!!

I will buy if 75.50 is hit. Awesome COIL PATTERN (ASC TRIANGLE)

Also saw recently that Rolls Royce had a bunch of titanium aero parts stolen. Seems Titanium is in hot demand

Looks like TIE will take out all time highs again this week.

In 2003 you could have bought TIE shares for the equivalent of $1.....Now that's a multi bagger

Will take a look at HCBK thanks

TIE is going higher!

I strongly suggest buying some TIE -Will be over 100$ in 3-6 months...

Ascending triangle breakout should happen tomorrow...

TIE financials released today. I the street didnt like something....

I think it may have been the sector as a whole. Anyone know anything about this? All gains erased today 

Amazing how it turned on a dime....

not sure if it is quite the same sector, but gold prices fell today sharply. this could be why

Stock splits on Friday (2for1)
2 Insiders buy 200K shares over past couple days (Harold Simmons and Norman Green)

Reaction to prelim earnings was negative. My take was that results were good and guidance for 2006 (35 to 50% growth) was very good!! Intersting to see how the split and earns news plays out now.

Feb 13, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Titanium Metals Corporation ("TIMET" or the "Company") (TIE) announced that full year 2005 sales revenue increased 50% to approximately $750 million, compared to 2004 sales revenue of $501.8 million. The increase in sales revenue results from increases in volumes and average selling prices for both melted and mill products. Mill product average selling prices increased approximately 31% and melted product average selling prices increased approximately 50% during 2005, as compared to 2004. Mill product sales volumes increased approximately 11% while melted product sales volumes increased approximately 6% during 2005, as compared to 2004.

The Company expects full year 2005 operating income of $170 million to $175 million, compared to operating income of $43.0 million for 2004. The increase in operating income primarily results from higher selling prices and volumes for both melted and mill products, offset in part by higher raw material costs. Operating income in 2004 has been restated for the effects of the Company's previously reported change its method for inventory costing from the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost method to the specific identification cost method for the approximate 40% of the Company's consolidated inventories previously accounted for under the LIFO cost method.

The Company expects full year 2005 net income attributable to common stockholders of approximately $142 million to $147 million, compared to $43.3 million (as restated) for 2004. The 2005 net income attributable to common stockholders includes (i) a $13.9 million pre-tax non-operating gain on the sale of certain property and (ii) a $51 million income tax benefit related to the reversal of the Company's deferred tax valuation allowance in the U.S. and the U.K.

The Company's backlog at the end of December 2005 was a record $870 million, a $160 million (23%) increase over the $710 million backlog at the end of September 2005 and a $420 million (93%) increase over the $450 million backlog at the end of December 2004.

The Airline Monitor, a leading aerospace publication, recently issued its January 2006 semiannual forecast for commercial aircraft deliveries. In this new forecast, The Airline Monitor increased its estimate of large commercial aircraft deliveries over the next five years beginning in 2006 by 513 planes, a 12% increase over its July 2005 forecast. This forecast includes a 20% increase in Boeing 787 wide bodies, which are expected to require a higher percentage of titanium in their airframes, engines and other parts than any other commercial aircraft. The Company continues to believe that the titanium industry is in the early stages of the business cycle and that the current uptrend will likely continue beyond 2006.

As a result, the Company currently expects full year 2006 net sales revenue will increase by 35% to 50% from 2005. This increase is primarily driven by expected continued increases in melted and mill product average selling prices. Although raw material and other costs will likely continue to increase in 2006 as well, the Company expects to achieve significant operating income growth again in 2006, with anticipated full year 2006 operating income at levels 35% to 50% higher as compared to operating income in 2005.

TIMET currently intends to release its final fourth quarter 2005 and full year 2005 results contemporaneously with the filing of its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company currently expects to file such Annual Report on or before the SEC's applicable filing deadline of March 16, 2006. The Company's 2005 results are subject to completion of an audit and the filing of its Annual Report. While the Company currently believes the financial information that will be contained in its Annual Report when filed will be consistent with the information contained in this release, the financial information contained in this release is, however, preliminary in nature, subject to revision and could differ from the Company's consolidated financial statements that will be contained in its Annual Report when filed.

TIE will be just fine... Fundamentals are outstanding - 90% growth and 850 million in backlog. Stay the course! 

TIE made a new 52 week high today. Congrats to all current longs. For those not long, TIE is still an attractive entry at current levels. I think TIE will move 30-40% in 2006.

TIE up another 3% today - 12% now total. I think this one will keep going up. China is competing for Titanium now too!
