Just yesterday, one of those Fools, Ikarruss, succinctly summed up the opportunity for our community:
This is a bet on iron going up. The stock is leveraged less than the industry average, it has a high [dividend yield], but it is not going anywhere unless iron/steel see some light. It is too big to react quickly, but it will make money if the price of steel goes up and it should hold on for a while.
