Experts highlight its resilience, significant cash flow, and ability to generate returns, especially as inflationary pressures rise, making it a strong candidate for long-term investment. The company is strategically positioned to benefit from the anticipated increase in global copper demand, projected to rise by 70% by 2050.

DON'T BUY
Largely a mining company. You want to own a mining company when the price of their underlying commodities is going up or staying at a high level. This is not the case and this is why this company is scaling back on a lot of their capital expenditures. Went on to commodity prices start to reverse and go up.

If you are investing in commodities, this is the first stock you should own. Best resource base, best run mining company at operational level. Outlook in commodities because of China is all over the place. They have good exposure to iron ore, copper, thermal coal, met coal. Transportation costs from Australia are minimal. Was mulling over making it a top pick tonight. Rock solid balance sheet and good dividend they expect to increase.

Probably best of breed of large-cap companies. Good balance sheet, great dividend and good growth profile. In the next little while they're going to have to spend a ton of money upgrading facilities and ports. There is slowing Chinese demand. On the positive side they are getting into the energy business, which is currently about 30% of earnings. You might want to wait for an Australian dollar pullback and perhaps slightly lower commodity prices. If you get it a good entry point it could be a good long-term hold. 3% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 16/11. Down 10.49%.) Pays a dividend and has a great balance sheet. Nice mix of assets and is tied to the global growth story. A cheap defensive way to have China exposure.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 10/10, Down 5.94%) Performed exceedingly well until 6 weeks ago. Doing brilliantly. August was not particularly kind to them. Fantastic way to get commodity exposure going forward. Increased dividend recently and will not be a problem.

BUY
Generates billions of free cash flow was a great organic growth opportunity in green field operations. A dodgy M&A track record but the core metals it is involved in all have positive supply/demand dynamics.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Commodities, especially some of the large cap ones, are good quality to hold for the long-term. Believes in the China story and they are short in iron ore, coal and copper and will be for decades. This is one of the best ways to play it. (His favourites are Teck (TCK.B-T) and Inmet (IMN-T).)

BUY
Chart looks good. He would say buy but with the caveat that there might be a more defensive theme which would give it a slower growth. Consensus in the large investment houses is that the soft patch is going to end in the fall and we will reaccelerate to the end of the year. In this case, this is a fantastic place to be.
