Filed under: Stocks to Buy

Investors who think long-term with Airgas Inc. (ARG) will be rewarded, and that's a major reason I'm reiterating my buy rating for the company's shares, first recommended on June 24, 2009 at a price of $39.89. If you bought Airgas in June, you're up about 19%.

As expected, Airgas is performing better, and institutional investors (IIs) have looked past near-term sluggish revenue to projected, brighter quarters in FY2010

ArmorGroup Roller Coaster Back Up ARG
+2.81%
in 5 days
(closed on 01/29/07)

According to my broker, shares in ArmorGroup International (ARG/LN or AMGPF/OTC) closed yesterday at about USD $1.46. That's back to where it was before plunging 11% last week after announcing its year-end results would be marginally lower than expected.

Anything could happen -- as you've read me write repeatedly, there are risks with this pick. The pipeline of projects could dry up, for one thing. So even though I'm cautiously optimistic about ArmorGroup, there are no guarantees.
