Take Profits on Phelps Dodge

I have been getting increasingly anxious on short-term commodity prices – specially Copper. And was contemplating exiting my position in Phelps Dodge (PD) soon. Sometimes you pick stocks for the wrong reason – but you still pick it right. I had originally recommended the stock back on Oct 11th, on strong earnings growth and future appreciation potential and today the folks Freeport McMoRan (FCX) agreed on Phelps’ prospects, paying a 27% premium to shareholders of PD. If you bought it when I recommended it, you are sitting on a 33% gain. Its time to sell Phelps and put your money elsewhere.

Full Disclosure: I recently sold my long position in PD and do not own any shares currently. However, my positions can change any time, without notice.

    full considerations and expections, cheap enough to go up this week. zoltek-zolt. buy it now. the shares are sold off in the mid 22s. lifecell-lifc- buy it now. the shares are sold off in the mid 23s. qualcomm-qcom the shares have sold off $1.70 to 37.01-ish in 3 days. affemetrix-affx selloffs to $25s equate of appealing dip zone. EVERGREEN SOLAR -eslr- 12 day starter bounce 7.80s > 9.20 in action with steep whipsaws.
    probably has demand and bounces off $8.50+. BONUS: Sunpower STP is equally appealing.
