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.
BUY
A great way, in a large cap stock, to participate both in copper and in gold. As long as these metals act well, this company should participate because they have great reserves in the ground.
BUY
Has broken out of a multi year consolidation. Had some operational problems a couple of years ago that are getting resolved, so the earnings are getting much better. A pure play on copper and gold.
TOP PICK
A great play on copper and gold. Have an enormous resource. Pays 2.2%. There's often a tie between energy and the metal stocks. Metals have lagged the energy to date, but have really started to put on some strength in the last little while.
TOP PICK
Had some difficulties last year with a major mine and have now come through that. Has traded sideways and looks like it is launching into another move. Has had a pickup in earnings/revenues. Will be paying a special dividend at the end of March. Has a nice yield.
HOLD
FMV is $69 which is probably due as much to the copper as to gold.
BUY
Feels gold will go higher. Also a copper play and the demand for copper is greater than the supply.
BUY
The US$ is the single most important linch pin in the market. Likes the precious metals.
WEAK BUY
Produced copper and gold. Has political risk attached. Shortage of copper. Hording of copper in certain regions. Come off recently. Like the sector. Pay attention to Chinese economy.
