BHP Billiton is recognized as one of the world's largest and most diversified mining companies, specializing in iron ore and copper. Experts see it as a cash-generating entity that excels in resilience and offers significant inflation protection. The company's substantial revenue structure, primarily from iron ore and increasingly from copper, positions it well for future growth, particularly with rising global demand for copper projected to surge by 70% by 2050. Analysts generally express a positive outlook, highlighting technical strength and favorable market conditions in China, while dividend yields of approximately 3%-4% add to its appeal as a long-term investment. Despite some short-term volatility in commodities demand, many experts consider BHP to be a reliable asset with characteristics of a best-of-breed performer in the mining sector.

BUY
Very well run large mining conglomerate. One of the few companies that think of cost of capital in the mining industry. Broadly diversified. Very cheap on a multiple basis. Nice dividend.
BUY
Likes the story. A good entry point. The metal cycle will continue to do well into 2007. A well diversified company. Very cheap. Good management.
BUY
One of the biggest mining companies in the world. A giant in pretty much all of the metals.
DON'T BUY
Austrian/British oil, mining and gas conglomerate. A fantastically run resource company. He has always preferred materials for which the price is always set by supply and demand versus speculation of the futures market. Very economically sensitive.
BUY
A well-run conglomerate. A much safer play in the mineral sector. Not expensive.
DON'T BUY
Incredibly well run company. Very diversified. Would prefer owning Canadian mid-cap companies in this sector.
BUY
One of the giants in the mining industry. Have uranium holdings in Australia, which he likes.
BUY
One of the giants of the mining industry. Has benefited from the huge run-up in base metal prices. If you believe in the growth story in Asia, this is an excellent way to play that.
WEAK BUY
Acquired an Australian uranium company. This should help their bottom line. This is a very diversified company into all kinds of other metals and we have seen the best in the metal markets. Don't be overweight on this one.
BUY
The resources sector is going to do well. This one is a good company and not expensive at around 16 X earnings. There will be some volatility in resources.
BUY
Has good assets in Australia which is closer to the Chinese/India markets than North American companies. Good management.
HOLD
The largest miner in the world. Diversified in just about all metals. Also producing some oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Mining companies are being incredibly disciplined with their allocation of capital. Likes this for the long-term.
BUY
If you want to own energy and materials, you can buy a bunch of companies or you can just buy this one.
BUY
Would be a bull on this stock. Well run. Have a really good network in China. Have a lot of relationships on the iron ore side in China. They are expanding capacity, but not overly aggressively.
DON'T BUY
Well managed. A company that is very nicely diversified in metals. Have been benefiting recently from the increases in the price of metals. Starting to get a little bit rich here.
