After Nucor Corp. (NUE-NYSE) lowered guidance, Goldman Sachs has decided to withdraw it from the Americas Conviction Buy List. It notes that the stock appears undervalued to the $71.00 price target and it is keeping its official BUY Rating on the stock, but it says there is no near-term catalyst on the stock.

Gerdau AmeriSteel Corp. (GNA-NYSE) has also been downgraded from a Neutral down to a SELL Rating, and added to Americas Conviction Sell List. It sees near-term weakness in demand for end products and is overvalued compared to Goldman’s target of $13.00. 2007 estimates were lowered from $1.50 EPS down to $1.45.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
