John Sinkins, CFA Alcan Aluminum AL-T TOP PICK Oct 25, 2005

Aluminum prices are going to move up, it looks like $0.90 to $1 next year. A lot of their energy costs are on long term fixed contracts. It is also possible that there may be a lightening of energy prices as well. The high energy costs and the management changes have put a lot of pressure on the stock which has created a buying opportunity.
