Bill MacLachlan Alcan Aluminum AL-T BUY Mar 24, 2005

The acquisition certainly hasn't resulted in the kind of synergies, increase in earnings and dominance that many had expected. The recent weakness is an opportunity to BUY. The general view in the market is that maybe we are close to a peak in commodity prices and this would also reflect the price.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 19/06. Up 92.5%.) Take some of your money off the table.

HOLD

Early on in the process of a bidding war. If you own, continue to hold. Main risk is a Pac Man defence where Alcan tries to buy Alcoa (AA-N). You might lock in a bit of profit at this point.
