Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX-N) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, primarily centered around its performance in the copper and gold markets. Many analysts recognize the long-term bullish outlook for copper, driven by increasing demand from the electrification of infrastructure and data centers, alongside a supportive demand for gold. However, concerns about global copper inventories, the impact of recent mudslide incidents, and fluctuations in the price of metals pose challenges. The sentiment regarding FCX's financial performance remains optimistic, especially with anticipated strong earnings aligned with rising gold prices. The stock shows potential for high cash flow generation, despite its recent volatility in price and overall market uncertainties.

TECK.B

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Gold and copper and subject to the whims of the commodity market.

DON'T BUY

We are in a deleveraging environment, which tends to be a little bit disinflationary. There has been a lot of stimulus thrown at the market without the response that the policymakers expected. There is little evidence to go to high beta stocks yet. Share prices of the materials group have been performing poorly.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 6/11. Down 33.94%.) Sold 90% of his holdings last December. An excellent company, but unfortunately it trades with the copper price. Thinks there will be a 50%-100% rally if we did see clarity out of Europe and there was a resumption of global growth.

DON'T BUY

Would steer over to TCK.B because it is Canadian and is diversified and has all the assets. Holds very little precious metals.

HOLD

He is surprised the stock is trading as low as it is. Copper does not trade far below its all-time high of about $4. Have great growth coming on in Africa. In a lot of ways it is a cheap, cheap stock. It's in a penalty box because it is a cyclical resource stock and people have been getting out of that part of the market.

COMMENT

(Market Call Minute.) Gold and copper is having a terrible time as all the materials are.

DON'T BUY

Gold and copper play. When you start to look at commodity plays with producers, he would prefer to go somewhere else. Prefers materials area but don’t overweight..

BUY

Around the current price level would be a reasonable time to get in. He noticed that a lot of commodity stocks were underperforming the commodity but this one started to outperform copper in mid-October.

DON'T BUY

Great management, long-term, large cap name. Copper prices have been falling.

TOP PICK

Copper/gold. Stock is down and this is the time to buy. Have a big strike that will have to be settled. Aopper prices have dropped a lot. China and Asia are going to be fine and copper is going to be okay. Their production costs for copper is less than $1 a pound.

DON'T BUY

Doesn’t love copper at this time. A little cautious with the cyclicality of it. A high beta stock that is going to trade up and down with the Chinese market.

SELL

You want to own commodity stocks when the commodity is going up. This is a pure copper company and the price is going down. The reason to own it disappears. It’s dead money at best.

COMMENT

Gold is a good diversifier and plays a role in any good equity portfolio but be cautious and don't have too much exposure. He prizes geopolitical stability and certainty so prefers something like Barrick (ABX-T) instead of this company.

TOP PICK

Huge copper and gold producer and basically supply the Chinese market. Has had big pullback. Good trading stock. Had blowout earnings.

HOLD

Likes the copper market. This is his top holding in copper. Great growth company and the valuation is good. Undervalued.
