Southern Copper Corp (USA) (PCU)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is an integrated producer of copper and other minerals, and operates mining, smelting and refining facilities in Peru and Mexico.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

The only evidence we need to know that copper will continue to go higher is the lengths that countries and mega-corporations are going to to ensure future copper reserves / supply. Teck Cominco buying Global Copper the other day. Chinalco and Alcoa joining forces to buy shares of Rio Tinto.

This company will be plagued by stikes and worker problems for the foreseeable future. JIXAY, BHP and RIO are much better choices for raw materials and all three of these supply China and India.

The price of copper is not going to go tremendously down. Emerging countries like China need it for construction and everything else. I don't see the growth rates of other emerging markets slowing down anytime soon. PCU is well positioned to China's copper market, PCU will probably buy other mining companies that mine for different metals to begin to diversify its mining portfolio more to prevent itself from being entirely lever to only copper. Its dividend is a great return for shareholders just for holding the stock...
