PAST TOP PICK
Dec 18, 2008
(A Top Pick Oct 30/07. Down 75%.) Copper producer from Zambia. Copper prices are down 60% so far. Fire created some operational problems for about 6 months. Just going into production now. Being squeezed. Once Copper prices go above $2, it's a great stock to own. Considers it a takeover target.
Copper and Uranium. They don’t talk much about their uranium property. They are a growing copper miner and ability to generate reasonable cash flow. Would like to see a bit of a pull back before buying.
Zambia based copper producer. Stock has been improving in the last few days. It gets waterlogged in the mid-$4 range. Owned it for the long term. Doesn’t know how much higher it goes until either it expands its copper asset or the price of copper goes up.
Copper company with operating mine in Colombia and are in the process of bringing it up to full production. Also have some uranium in this mine. Has had a good run and we now need to see copper prices sustained.
Big resource in Africa where there is a lot of political risks. First Quantum (FM-T) has a stake in this company but doubt if they would be interested in taking it over right now as they have their own problems.
He sold a quarter of his position at $7.50, then another quarter yesterday and will sell the rest over the next couple of days. He’s not reinvesting the proceeds back into copper either.
