Laura Wallace Alcan Aluminum AL-T TOP PICK Dec 12, 2005

The price of aluminum has finally started to catch up to the price of other commodities. Also, China has made some announcements to curtail production, which is positive for the global supply demand picture. Trades at about 12 X next year's earnings. Peak earnings will probably be in the range of $5.50 Cdn.
