Rio Tinto, a significant player in the mining sector, has recently seen its stock price increase notably, with analysts observing a potential upside driven by demand for commodities such as copper, aluminum, and iron ore. Experts note that the company's stock has achieved impressive returns, with some suggesting that investors take profits as it reaches an outsized position in portfolios. While there are expectations for a pullback in price to levels between $70 and $75, the long-term outlook remains positive, particularly with rising demand for energy-transition metals and solid dividend payouts. Overall, while the stock is in a cyclical sector, many analysts believe it is still a solid investment for the long term, especially given trends in the global commodities market.

HOLD
A lot of the large cap resource stocks are not doing anything. Based on his view of the market, if you are investing for the longer term these larger cap companies are safe places to be because they have bullet proof balance sheets and reasonable multiple of earnings.
DON'T BUY
Likes its exposure to iron ore, which has been softening recently. Very tied in to the Chinese market place. Chinese and Indians are huge drivers of consumption and there has been a moderation of growth in China. Money supply and M2 growth is almost zero. Authorities are tapping on the brakes.
DON'T BUY
Took on a lot of debt making their acquisition. Their debt is now twice their market capitalization.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Looking at little bit better after it has backed off as they will not beginning together with BHP.
COMMENT
Big takeover battle by BHP Billiton (BHP-N). Has no idea if the bid is going to succeed or not. The Chinese are also getting involved.
BUY
One of the big three in the iron ore area. Iron ore, like most commodities, has been on a tremendous run. Not sure where it is going to go this year, but it will certainly be in the 10/20% range. With the urbanisation of China, there will be a big demand for steel. Not cheap.
BUY
Well diversified and global in scope. Base metals are expected to rise.
BUY
