BHP Billiton plc (ADR) (BBL)

CAPS Rating:
****

A diversified resources company that operates in several commodity businesses, including aluminum, energy coal and metallurgical coal, manganese, uranium, silver and titanium minerals, and has interests in oil, gas, liquefied natural gas and diamonds.

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 members 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.

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...More

The answer: One with no debt.
The question: What kind of company is most likely to survive a severe downturn, even a depression, and possible U$ dollar deflation (and therefore beat the S&P 500)?

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!
