BUY
Largest and highest quality iron ore company globally. Brazilian. Balance sheet is very good so an excellent way to play the commodities market.
BUY
One of the premier base and bulk metal companies globally. Gives you exposure to Brazilian iron ore as well as Canadian nickel. Like every other material stock, it has been beaten up unmercifully.
TOP PICK
Could be a violent rally in the stock market and mining companies could be beneficiaries. Some of them have been driven down to ridiculous levels. This one is low-cost and has a strong balance sheet. Dominant position in iron ore and nickel. (Not a 1-year prediction, but a 6-month prediction.)
COMMENT
Iron ore. Very dependent on what happens in China, which is taking measures to alleviate the slowdown. Relaxing lending standards and reducing reserve requirements for banks. Expects recovery in property in the 2nd half of 2009 that could result in a pickup of demand for steel. Took on debt when they made acquisitions.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 9/07. Down 66%.) Largest iron ore company. Out of Brazil. Collapse in commodity prices has hurt them. 3 to 5 years out this will look to be like a screaming buy opportunity. Over the near term, there could be further downside.
DON'T BUY
Diversified metals. Got caught up in the whole metals/materials boom and has come off hard. Based in Brazil, which has had a huge correction.
BUY
Premier Iron ore and nickel company in the world. Finances are good. Market was worried they would buy somebody at a peak price, but not now. Won’t go up in a hurry. Ok if long-term investor.
BUY
Have iron and nickel, which goes into stainless steel. Very good situation. No concerns on demand in the case of China where they are still building up their infrastructure. Look out for major slow down in China.
BUY
Probably starting to get pretty cheap valuations. He is cautious on resource prices in the short term but it is reaching a point where supply is going to be shut down. This is positive for longer-term fundamentals. If growth starts coming out of China as well as India and the emerging market, there will be substantial demand for commodities. Good for a long-term hold.
BUY
One of her top 10 holdings. Commodity cycle will have to play itself out. However, outlook is still very strong because their main customers, the Chinese, have not dramatically reduced the consumption of steel. On a long-term view, you will be rewarded handsomely.
COMMENT
A lot of resource companies have been getting sold off and is basically just a trade off from the out performers to the under performers. A short-term trend and we should continue to see the longer-term out performance by the materials and energy companies.
HOLD
Great company in the right product, iron ore, at the right time. Unfortunately, company recently announced a dilutive equity issue. Has been oversold.
BUY
Largest iron ore producer in the world. Iron core prices are through the roof and continuing to stay strong. The price increases they have got on their commodity is so high it's that operating costs do not matter.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 5/07. Up 59%.) Timing of the iron ore market is the leading catalyst for this one. The consumption trend for iron ore in emerging markets is very strong. Still a BUY.
BUY
World’s largest iron ore producer as well as the biggest nickel company. Iron ore prices and demand continues to be strong. Doesn’t see this changing for some time. Nickel prices have lagged and hopefully they will start to pick up. Growth company. Stock came off because of a new share issue.
