<<Have you noticed that copper may be beginning to wake up? >> Yep and that is happening despite the large inventories. Check the long term chart here: metalprices.com <<Do you research copper stocks? >> Sure.. I check a few.. Mansfield appears to have something that could make it a big winner. Rock is also starting a drill program on a promising play. But I prefer the the gold, silvers and zinc plays. Zinx, IMO, has more potential to go up in the coming year as zinc invetories are very low vs historical levels: metalprices.com

Richard: There is no question that copper is on the way back. I have had shares of First Quantum (symbol FM Toronto), for a couple of years. It has a gold mine and an important Zambian copper mine, and has actually reported net earnings on its low cost operations. However, they were recently awarded a privatized major copper mine (also in Zambia), and the stock has run from C$1 to C$3. Another stock that has significant copper as well as gold is Taseko, a Hunter Dickinson company, that just acquired an established copper mine, with a substantial life ahead of it. They are about to put the mine back into production, as it was a relatively high cost base. This stock has not moved as yet. Anyway, there are a number of good companies within the base metals arena, and continued upward moves in copper, and the other base metals will make these stocks move up substantially. Regards Dan
