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.

TOP PICK

This has made it into his Top 10 of his US 50 fund it has to be in the top 100 of the S&P 500 by market cap. He is surprised that it made it. It is a materials (copper) company. His model price is $146.68, which is a 29% positive differential.

DON'T BUY

Gold and copper producer. The US version of Goldcorp (G-T). A bit bigger and more international. More gold than copper, but a bit too much copper for him.

BUY

Was mostly a gold stock and then bought Phelps Dodge, almost a pure play copper stock. Copper prices peaked earlier in the year but have come off. Because of demand from the developing world, he doesn't see copper prices dropping off.

BUY

Extremely large cap. Enormous from copper standpoint. Have become geographically diversified. Very high quality company. Would be very comfortable owning it.

BUY

One of the largest copper stocks in the US. Cash flow because of the high copper prices should expand over the next few years.

BUY

Just made a major acquisition of Phelps-Dodge. Because of the strong copper/gold prices, it has allowed them to pay back their debt. Good management.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 28/06. Up 15%.) Geographically diversified. Metals are on another leg higher. Still likes.

COMMENT

Recently made a significant bet on copper by buying Phelps-Dodge near the top of the copper market. If you believe in copper and its long-term outlook, this is probably a great play. He thinks it's late in the cycle.

DON'T BUY

The chart shows a lot of congestion. If you own, watch for a breakout. Don't let a drop below its January low. Not excited about this one.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 22/05. Up 28%.) Got stopped out in the spring when commodity stocks corrected. Large cap metals are a little less attractive right now.

BUY

Never gets the proper valuation in the market because its Grasberg properties are in Indonesia. Stable environment and they are one of the lowest cost miners in the world. Volatile.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 22/05. Up 25.2%.) Still likes commodities even though it is later in the game.

SELL

If you own this, you want to look at how well they've held up against their peers. This one has not held up well. Have had some additional operating problems. Would look to let some of it go on any strength.

TOP PICK

3rd largest copper mine in the world as well as one of the largest gold mines. In Indonesia which is the biggest risk. Not sure how long the bull market can run, but prefers being in large caps for less risk.

SELL

Significant hi-cup in Indonesia. Also production problems.
