Stockchase Opinions

Ron Meisels Alcan Aluminum AL-T BUY ON WEAKNESS Dec 15, 2005

Has gone through a big problem with its merger. Very often when you have an acquisition, people get disturbed and discard stocks that are actually very good. This one is in the resource area and is a good stock. There will probably be resistance at $50. A pullback to $42/43 would be a good buying opportunity.
$46.350

(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.
