BHP Billiton plc (ADR) (BBL)

Very diversified in an industry that will only become more in demand.

Diversified in numerous commodities. All around good play for inflation hedge as well as adding diversification to an energy portfolio.

bbl is going to be a huge player in the world as we rebuild counties all over the world. am buying 100 shares on 04/14 will continue for the next 6-9 months will buy & hold for the next 3/5 years. this stock will benefit as the g20 seems to be on the same page as to what needs to be done & this stock has everything needed!!!!!!!!! fool on

one of the world's largest mining and natural resources companies, with major divisions in the mining or manufacture of aluminum, base metals (lead, zinc, copper, etc), iron ore, gold, diamonds, coal, manganese, oil, steel, potash and more.

this well-run company conducts a large part of its business in china, and is expected to grow that customer. with a direct natural resources pipeline into arguably the greatest natural resources maw of the next 20-50 years, BHP Billiton is positioned for significant growth.

dividend yield of over 4%, 2009 dividend increased 41% over last year's payment. company is not exploding right now, but is still doing strong business in a weak market. this weakness is temporary (the world will need BHP's products for generations) and fortunately reflected in share price.

looks like a very good time to buy, but you never know, so keep your stops close and don't ride down with the market. you can always buy back in. but at under $40 per share, i'm in.

"Liqudation in the downturn."

Oil and Minerals are not going away. We can hide our heads in the sand but it won't make us a single dime.

Today, BBL inched its way up a bit. Hopefully, the demand for precious minerals as well as oil, gas, & diamonds will increase over time & cause this stock to skyrocket!

This commodities is kind of a "soup de jour" in today's market. It seems BHP Billiton has a little or a lot of something for everybody. Metals, Energy, Diamonds, and minerals. A good solid company, I think we're looking for steady growth here with few bumps. Yes, the Soup sounds real good right now!

Diversity in differenty types of energy, including natural gas, silver and diamonds, and energy coal,

With financial markets in disarray, raw commodities are always an attractive option for investors.

DRiP Play, needs a while to run

this is 2nd best for me when next to rtp. but rtp is to expensive at this price and this one is at a good discount right now. diversified and good for the next 2 years.

Commodity demand grows globally and uranium is the key asset as nuclear energy rushes to the forefront of energy production.

The world is growing in demand as new emerging markets are added each year. I believe the demand for commodities is going to keep growing at an accelerated pace & this company is in all the basic needs of an industrial evolution. It should be a steady climber.

BHP Billiton.... been doing fairly well with their UK stock listing (BHP.L), so the US listing should be a good bet too.

still plenty money flows in.
good margin, returns.
low debt.
give it a month.

Coal prices are on the rise, China used to be an exporter and now are importers.... large reserves in the US
