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.

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.

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.
BUY
Had been stopped out but have gotten back in. The company looks quite strong. Their strength is in copper and gold. The second leg of the base metals bull market may be getting underway.
TOP PICK
During the summer, there will be a reason for gold to rise again. The stock is very volatile and moves with gold.
HOLD
As investors get more and more confident in the global recovery, this should do well.
