This summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.

Hudbay Minerals (HBM-T) has a mixed outlook from various analysts who highlight both its potential and inherent risks. Many experts recognize the long-term bull market for commodities, particularly copper, fueled by ongoing demand, especially from China. However, concerns about geopolitical risks in Peru, where Hudbay's flagship mine operates, and volatile commodity prices complicate the stock's attractiveness. Additionally, while some analysts note strong management and potential production expansions, others emphasize caution due to the cyclical nature of mining stocks. The stock has shown significant growth but is vulnerable to market corrections, which brings differing opinions on whether now is the right time to invest or wait for a pullback.

FCX

HOLD

Has suffered along with all the other base metal producers. Has a good balance sheet and good prospects. (See Top Picks.)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

80% copper and 20% gold, which he likes. On his watch list and he gets pretty interested when it gets under $11 and would buy at under $10.50. Doesn't expect dividend increases for a while. Have a lot of cash but are spending it by bringing a big new mine into production.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Apr 13/11, Down 24.43%) When they increase production, will get attention.

COMMENT

Have a lot of respect for the company and their resource. He is nervous about base metal pricing in the next couple of years. He is suspicious that some of the economic revival we have seen is a consequence more of counterfeit (quantitative easing) then real economic strength. Probably a pretty good name if you are thinking of holding it for 10 years.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 3/11. Down 27.13%.) A copper/zinc story with a gold lining. They're going to move from 100,000 ounces of gold a year to about 250,000. There just isn't a lot of news as they develop their mine in Peru and northern Manitoba. Still likes.

BUY

Doesn’t like it fundamentally, but it looks good technically. It has shown a buy signal recently. It will pause at the $13 level. It has many days of large daily moves so you will see a little tailing off of the buying, but $11.50 might be a buying point. If it goes down to $11 you want to exit and that might be a stop loss.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Copper is at 17 week high and some of these stocks are starting to move. Chart shows a downtrend starting in late 2010 and broken in late 2011. Now we are hoping for a successive set of new lows. He expects some kind of a minor pullback. If it pulled back into the $9 range, he would load up. Good space to be in.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 31/10, Down 41.49%) Company is going through a massive change. Building a new mine which will be an important mine. Doing a big project in Peru (politics affected investor sentiment). Almost $5 of cash per share. Thinks it will climb back up bit will take some time to get there.

DON'T BUY

Only base metal company he owns. Likes this one the most if there is going to be a bounce in copper. Has a half position, which he can always add to when it pulls back. Still a couple of questions. They are building mines and it is the CapX around the mine and how you finance.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The downward trend has been broken but it looks like it wants to revisit the October low. We are coming to the seasonal strong time for the sector. The risk reward is really good.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 11/10. Down 39.62%.) Still loves this one. Doing very well. Have a new mine coming on next year. Doesn't see any catalysts in the next 2 quarters. $800 million plus in the bank. Expect they will be back in the $20’s before too long.

WAIT

Did analysis and liked what he saw. Their production in Flinflon did not come on and he will look at it again in 2012. Well run, good assets but a little early for him.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 4/10. Down 33.03%.) Fears on base metals has been misplaced on this company. Produces 100,000 ounces of gold annually. Ramping up with their new mine to 250,000 ounces. Screaming bargain.

PAST TOP PICK

HOLD

Generally a name he likes. New CEO has done a good job of focusing the company. Increasing revenue from copper. Lots of cash. But stock has gone sideways and will continue. Good defensive name.
