Analyst

I love this company.  I'm betting that some big caps like BHP are going to merge with other ones or split into mini big core commodity plays to achieve better synergies with uptick in individual commodities.

Anyway, commodities will take a breather in the second half of 2008 (read after Beijing Olympics) and perhaps into first quarter 2009, then regain their upswing for another long bull.

You could wait till the second half to get better deals with companies like BHP but in either case you can't go wrong with best of breed companies.
