BHP is looking very strong financially and is well placed to ride out the recession.  They have no debt, and a great history of profitability (5-yr average RoA 19%, avg net margin 25%).  This year's profit won't be as good as last year's record, of course, but BHP is in much better shape than its competition to not only survive the recession, but to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that might arise while the competition is struggling to service their debts.  When the economy recovers, BHP will emerge significantly stronger relative to its competitors.

The accompanying table [click to enlarge] includes the 10 largest companies in the ETF Innovators [ETFI] Nation Cap Leaders Index, which includes 51 companies with the largest market cap from each nation that is at least $5B U.S. Dollars. Exxon Mobil (XOM) has pulled away from the pack as the largest company by market cap in the world now that PetroChina (PTR) has declined by 45.7% in the past year on falling oil prices and the sell-off in emerging stock markets such as China.

Top miner BHP Billiton , bidding for rival Rio Tinto in what would be the world's second-biggest takeover , posted a 12.4 percent rise in full-year net profit to a record $15.4 billion , as Chinese demand stoked a commodities boom.

Year-to-end-June net profit was up from $13.4 billion the previous year and in line with analysts' forecast.

Shares in BHP, the world's biggest mining company , have fallen 5.4 percent this year to Friday's close, outperforming Australia's S&P/ASX 200 resources sector subindex , which is off 9 percent.

Buying on the dip (and adding most of the quality producers). I don't think the demand is going anywhere but up long term.

BHP / Rio Tinto JV Makes Sense for Both Companies
<>BHP Billiton (BHP), which is featured in both our Growth and Income Portfolios, failed to consummate a marriage with Rio Tinto (RTP) last year. But a subsequently proposed joint venture between the pair, the second- and third-largest iron ore producers in the world, could be nearing reality. The partnership between the two companies, if the deal is finalized, would merge their iron ore operations in Australia and create a synergy that could save around $10 billion a year on capital and production costs. The two companies are expected to ship more than 300 million tons combined of iron ore w...

"Resources are one of the best sectors for buy & hold investors," say Mary Anne and Pamela Aden. In The Aden Forecast they eye BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) and Freeport McMoran (NYSE: FCX).

"The stock market is on the rise, hitting new bull market highs. Stocks are looking good and that goes for nearly all of the world stock markets. They’re bullish and poised to rise much further.

"BHP Billiton is a good example of a company you can buy and forget about because it has its hands in every part of this area.

Speculation week is off to a roaring start, to wit please see Chinese seed company Origin Agritech (SEED) which always is a place daytraders congregate when agriculture stocks are in favor....




.... now yesterday's performance was somewhat news driven but basically it ran from mid $6s "on the news" to $10+ on "momentum".  And this is why I say Thanksgiving week is the week of speculative fervor, the indexes are relatively meaningless...if you put your chip on the correct red or black market, you win - big.
