Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. (FCX)

great stock!!

Only problem is its up over 80$/share.\

PE is low + copper and gold gpoing up....means fcx is going higher too...

Telechart Pick

Gold and copper mining at competitive low cost structure, combined with significant sales to China.

They are the 100 pound gorilla and can control the market. As the economy improves, they will be big winners.

because currency is just paper.

One of my favorite miners in general, but it's gotten way ahead of itself, especially now that China is looking to unload all that copper it's been buying. Long term - great, short to medium term - very bad potential

With exposure to copper and silver, FCX benefits from global industrial recovery...and with exploration in gold they are exposed to asset protection with gold. China has been shifting more of their holdings into non-trackable commodities, like copper, at the same time that they have been open about purchasing more gold on the market (as India recently did with the IMF). This company is well run and bottomed out with asset liquidation late last year. I expect to see them continue to improve over the coming five years.

(I currently have no exposure to this company...that I'm aware of. I hold a few Precious Metal Funds which might have some holdings here, but not to my knowledge).

Fabulous stock. Got in at 33.00.... basic materials is key.

Originally I jumped the gun on making an underperform call (gold won't collapse until February or maybe late Jan.) This is still trading at a low multiple and will benefit from gold's impending rise. I'll just have to remember to be careful in Dec. and cancel in late January.

Copper and gold are going up. Existing land based mines are almost tapped out. Shortage of supply with increasing demand from India and China will drive up the stocks of producers.

It's FCX! Copper is on its way up, and Freeport will definitely be riding the wave!

Large copper and gold mining company.

Copper for growth, gold for safety and they may be a potential take over target.

gold and copper and aussie $

Great commodity play especially for copper as the BRIC countries really get going and the rumors of being a takeover target of BHP Billiton doesn't hurt either

Hello USD, bye bye GLD.

Freeport-McMoran is selling near the high-end of my probable valuation for it. Commodities are overvalued right now in general, particularly gold and copper, so I like FCX as a red thumb call.

I think with China buying a lot of copper FCX is going to do every well in the future.

As the economy recovers the need for the basic metals that FCX deals in and dominates (Primarily Copper but Gold and Molybendium as well) will be in high demand. Gold was a bit of a hedge for them in the bad times, but Copper will drive earnings for years.
