TOP PICK

Aluminum has not had the kind of price appreciation that has been in other metals. Did a great job with its French acquisition. The pullback makes a good buying opportunity. Trades at about 11 X this year's earnings.

TOP PICK

Aluminum price has not moved up as strongly as other metals. Will be an attractive buy to all the hedge funds, etc. European manufacturers will have to use a lot of energy to produce, while this company has most of its production out of Quebec which has a cheaper source of energy.

TOP PICK

Reported spectacular first-quarter earnings which the market didn't like. They are forecasting on a global basis, a deficit in aluminum again. Expect to continue to see strong prices. Trading at 10 X ‘06 earnings.

TOP PICK

Seems like all the stars are aligning for this company. They have done a lot of the synergistic savings that they said they would. Aluminum prices are nice and high. Other suppliers are having problems and demand seems to be increasing.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 22/05. Up 16%.) Aluminum has now started to catch up to the other metal commodities. Inventories continue to decline.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Would definitely buy on a pullback at around $50.

BUY

The dip last fall was due to a hiccup from China. Now that has been corrected you should see aluminum prices rise and the stock rise with it.

SELL

He thinks the only way to make money on this company is to catch the troughs in around $35. When no one wants it, that's the time to buy. In around this price, you would sell. This is more of a trading position rather than a ”buy and hold” position. His model praise is $54.55.

WEAK BUY

Aluminum has been a late bloomer but has not been as dramatic as some of the other metals and has not been in short supply.

DON'T BUY

The company made some big acquisitions that they got in trouble with. Production costs are high because of the energy costs.

BUY

Alcan is a previous top pick. The stock is up 6%. It is on its way back. Predicts aluminum will be a better commodity for 06. Still likes it and owns it.

TOP PICK

Alcan has a new man at the top. Alcan is more directly focused on aluminum. Profit margins are greater. He has owned for about 6 months.

BUY

Alcan is his major mining holding now. Outlook is now a dollar a pound plus. It is statistically cheap stock. Not a buy and hold anymore. Should see $55-57 this year.

TOP PICK

Has not recommended this stock lately. Believes that the best days are yet to come. There is a world shortage of aluminum. Interesting buy.

BUY

A number of stocks are starting to show profit growth in this sector.
