Both Business Segments of DXP Enterprises Inc. (DXPE) Hold Keys to Manufacturing Resurgence

This stock derives value from the support it provides for manufacturing. The latter was an early driver of stock exchange growth, but financial and information technology displaced it in importance for investors over the past two decades. Debates and actions to revive the US economy have rekindled interest in manufacturing excellence as a source of business strength.

Bloomberg told reporters in a response to a U.N General Assembly debate on Global Warming, “People literally will starve to death in parts of the world, it always happens when food prices go up.” The new laws in the US alone increase Bio-fuel’s use 500% current levels.

Toymakers on the Move

Toy stocks had been in the news in the last few months, but it wasn’t always good news.
