I switched over to FCX. Freeport-McMoran. It is basically 80% coat and 10 % gold and 10 molybdenum.. Goldman is estimating $16 in EPS over the next 4 quarters. Some members on the Yahoo! message come in have done some excellent fundamental analysis. FCX took over Phelps move who was a bigger company about 6 months ago maybe a little longer. When the takeover was end. FCX had about $14 billion in debt. They've already paid that debt down to $7.7 billion. When FCX is debt free. I evaluate it deserves a PE in at least the 12 range. This gives you an approximated 12 x 16. You know the market thinks ahead this will start to be going through the street's heads. It may be a bumpy ride up but I'll see my FCX aim at $192. There's other factors such as Phelps move's costless collars that are limiting EPS now. They were a avoid PD made and are maximizing the cost of copper for 450 million pounds a year at $2. This will rise to the $3.6x whatever it is now that FCX makes. Currently it's a $107 stock. FCX is a change COW.
