Precision Castparts: Part 1 - Overview of an Abandoned Growth Story

Precision Castparts (PCP) has been on a nasty slide down to $100 since tapping $130 when it reported earnings on May 6, 2008. Stocks who supply products going into commercial airlines, including PCP, continued to be sold off. Investors seem spooked by recent fleet downsizing by the major U.S. carriers on the back of high oil prices and struggling consumers.
