Industrial Production Up, Inflation Tame, Momentum Continues for Eagle Materials

03/17/2006

This week the Federal Reserve reported that industrial production in the U.S. rose 0.7% in February, on the heels of a -0.3% decline in January. That positive news along with new economic data showing that inflation slowed in February helped to boost the markets this week.

Especially strong this week were our Cornerstone Screens and our Primary Stock Portfolio. Leading the way was Eagle Materials (ticker EXP), a Primary Stock Portfolio regular and a Double Allocation Stock in our Short-Term Portfolio. In the last full week of January, Eagle Materials saw its stock rise 39% in only five trading days.
