Bucyrus logoIt looks like my call to reconsider mining machine provider Bucyrus International (BUCY) on October 18, 2010, at a price of $74.44 proved to be the right one.

Bucyrus, which I originally discussed on June 22, 2009 at a price of $25.27, was stopped out, in a good way, for a roughly 80% gain at $46 last spring. At that time, BUCY was in the category of one of those trades where the sell/stop loss was just a tad too high.

Mining machine provider Bucyrus International (BUCY), first discussed here on June 22, 2009 at a price of $25.37, is one of those rare plays, so close attention is advised.

Bucyrus was stopped-out in June at the raised sell/stop loss of $46, good for a roughly 80% gain.

If you didn't raise the sell/stop loss back in June, you notched an even bigger gain, as Bucyrus has surged to about $75 since late spring.

If you did raise the sell/stop loss, the calculation here is to consider re-establishing at least a 50% position with BUCY. Re-establishing a position is rare, but Bucyrus is worth the risk.

Since I first discussed Bucyrus International (BUCY) here on June 22, 2009, at a price of $25.37, shares of the mining machine provider have pulled-back this spring in-sync with the retreat in commodity prices. Even so, just look on the dip as a decent time to scoop up shares. Here's why.

Look for Bucyrus to continue to benefit from the developing world's enormous infrastructure needs, as the global economic recovery progresses. Bucyrus reported better than 40% order growth in the first quarter, something that should help push revenue 20% to 25% higher in 2010, including revenue from recently acquired Terex.

Infrastructure work and mining machine provider Bucyrus International (BUCY), which I first wrote about on June 22, 2009 at a price of $25.37, remains a promising business model.

Back in June the calculation was that shares of Bucyrus would benefit from the developing world's enormous infrastructure needs, as the global economic recovery commenced. Well, so far, so good. The shares are up more than 100% in less than a year, and there's more upside ahead.

Just categorize this recommendation 'one of the better calls' -- and one that may make Bucyrus International (BUCY) a Top 5 pick in 2010, as well.

Back in June the call was that shares of Bucyrus, provider of machines for infrastructure work and mining, would benefit from the developing world's enormous infrastructure needs, as the global economic recovery commenced. Well, so far, so good. The shares, first recommended on June 22, 2009 at a price of $25.37, are up about 125%, and I'm obviously reiterating the buy call.

Back in March, the shares of the mining-equipment manufacturer, Bucyrus (BUCY), had plunged to $10.62. But since then, things have been red hot. The stock price is now about $56.00.

With such momentum -- and improvement in the business -- Bucyrus is warming up to some dealmaking. So this week the company agreed to pay $1.3 billion for the mining division of Terex (TEX). It's an all-cash transaction. But there's an interestingly clause that allows $300 million to be converted into stock within a few days.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says at least one country is getting it right when it comes to economic stimulus.

How in the heck can you get 16% industrial growth and lower-than-expected consumer price inflation? How is that possible? Yet that's what we saw from China last night, and that's a tonic to pretty much everyone who is waiting for our own stimulus to kick in.

And we need it.

On Monday, Fluor (FLR) (Cramer's Take), the giant construction company, when asked if it could quantify the value of stimulus dollars currently in backlog, said "Really, the only stimulus funding we have seen directly has been the award that we got at Savannah River for some nuclear soil remediation. And, it was, I would say, we're less than $0.5 billion."

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says you take your life into your own hands if you fade the opening in today's market.

A year ago with the futures up, all you could think of is how much you wanted to "fade" that opening, how great it would be just to lay out any shorts into strength. You could choose pretty much anything going into earnings season.

The techs? Last good quarter. The banks? A travesty. You didn't even know if the banks you are short would survive. The oils? Free fall. The metals? Amazing downward pressure coming from hedge fund redemptions. The insurers? Will they make it? Retail? The balance sheets looked terrible going into what would be a terrible holiday selling season. The autos and auto-related? Disaster.

"I'm adding Bucyrus International (NSDQ: BUCY) -- a maker of mining equipment -- to our 'Wildcatters Portfolio' as a play on coal," says Elliott Gue.

In his The Energy Strategist, the advisor explains, "With commodity prices recovering and Chinese demand for coal picking up once again, Bucyrus has likely seen the trough in its new equipment business."

"Bucyrus' top end-market is coal, which accounts for more than three-quarters of the firm's business. Coal mining equipment includes draglines, a sort of giant scoop used to scrape away the overburden (rocks and dirt) that covers coal.

It goes without saying that companies that furnish machines for infrastructure work and mining are preferred in this neck of the woods, due to the developing world's enormous infrastructure needs.

That infrastructure build-out is taking a pause during the global recession, but once global growth resumes, machinery will be back in demand, which is why Bucyrus International (NASDAQ: BUCY) is worth a review.

This week started with a positive momentum as the auto industry bailout seemed to have a chance of passing, and President-elect Obama announced a huge stimulus plan, including infrastructure investment that could boost the weak job market.

For a few days, things seemed like they were almost back to normal. Until Thursday -- when the Senate failed to pass the bailout. This was aggravated by news of the ex-Nasdaq chair being accused of a massive $50 billion 'Ponzi scheme,' and economic indicators that actually were not as bad as expected.

Still, if the automakers manage to get assistance from somewhere else, we might see some sort of stabilization. If that happens, some investors may choose this time to return to the market. This week's theme among BloggingStocks contributors seemed to revolve not just around 'cheap' but also on yield. Competent management also plays a bigger role these days when picking stocks.

Here are some picks from this week:

Jim Cramer took a hard look at these high yielders: Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW), General Electric (NYSE: GE), Du Pont (NYSE: DD) and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC). He cautions against jumping in without considering "which companies have gone into survival mode to get there? Which companies will even make you money if they cut the dividend?"

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says the near term is muddy, but this mining-equipment maker is a long-term win.

Bucyrus International (NASDAQ: BUCY) (Cramer's Take) really captures this moment. When I was speaking last night to its terrific CEO, Tim Sullivan, I was conscious that his company's stock is at the fulcrum of everything that is going wrong and everything that is going right in this market.

Bucyrus, if you recall, makes mining equipment. It's really the only game in town other than Joy Global (NASDAQ: JOYG) (Cramer's Take), as the mining machinery business was annihilated by years of underinvestment.
