Filed under: Freep't McMoRan Copper (FCX), Stocks to Buy

Just look at the recent side-ways action by Freeport McMoRan (FCX), which I first discussed here on March 23, 2009 at a price of $41.87. Back then I thought of the stock as an extended buy opportunity of one of the business world's the premier companies.

Simply, Freeport is in the catbird seat regarding two key commodities: copper and gold. Hence, look for 15-20% revenue growth with FCX in 2010.

This may prove to be the stock investment of the year: Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX), and I'm obviously reiterating my buy rating for the company's shares, first recommended on March 23, 2009 at a price of $41.87.

If you bought Freeport in March 2009, you're up more than 100%; if you missed the March 2009 entry point, fear not -- there's more ahead.

<> AMAG Pharma (AMAG) more than doubled on word that the FDA accepted its complete response for a NDA of iron-deficiency anemia drug ferumoxytol in patients with chronic kidney disease and will issue a final ruling before year-end. The news is a major relief for AMAG as no new clinical trials were required and the quick decision deadline before year-end is encouraging for the approval prospects of ferumoxytol.

Minyanville contributor Quint Tatro dares to share the kind of keen insight and actionable information you won't find in any prospectus. For more original thought, visit www.minyanville.com.

Despite the fact that just about every chart out there screams bear market and downtrend, at this juncture I can't justify adding new shorts. It feels like a trap in that the steepness of the recent decline could eventually usher in a snapper that would rip the heads off new shorts so rather than ve...

The bad stuff is in the market. It just has to get more in. That's all. That's the conclusion you have to reach when you see companies like Terex (NYSE: TEX) (Cramer's Take), which is valued at only a billion and a half dollars, or Joy Global (NASDAQ: JOYG) (Cramer's Take) at $2 billion and change or McDermott (NYSE: MDR) (Cramer's Take) at $3 billion.

The Panic Trade: A 20-Stock Defensive Growth Portfolio

<>
The accompanying table presents a 20-stock defensive growth portfolio which I believe will outperform the overall market as measured by the S&P 500 Index as the current panic trade comes to an end and investors stop selling stocks regardless of their fundamentals. The average PEG ratio for this group of stocks is below one and the average dividend yield of 4.4% is nearly two times the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) yield of 2.4%. All of the stocks have a market cap over $1B with an average of just under $75B and the indust...

Protests and strike hit mining sector in Peru

Workers at Freeport-McMoRan's FCX.N: Cerro Verde copper mine, the third largest in Peru, went out on strike for higher wages.

The disputes, which come as Peru's Congress is debating revisions to the county's mining tax code, are the latest in a long series of protests.

Peru's economy grew some 9 percent last year, helped by high prices for minerals exports. But workers say they are not benefiting from the country's 7-year economic boom and are tired of waiting.
