FCX

Forded_Fiction24

Many, but I'm no oracle. Been investing in copper mining( SCCO, FCX) for ~ 7 yrs now which has done well. Thesis for that is more copper needed for electronics and cooling in data centers. Threw some money into Google in 2015 mainly due to their heavy investment in SpaceX and given that SpaceX was/is not publicly traded yet, this was a giving me indirect exposure plus it was still Google Invested in Gold and silver specifically IAU and SLV along with physical due to my lack of trust in the fed reserve, monetary and fiscal spending/ policy and doubled down even further in 2014 as Japanese carry trade was highlighted as a huge risk and still is. For that matter I've also put some "spare change" knowing it's risk and volatility into Bitcoin and it's associated ETFs due to the same reason because excessive government spending, debt levels, inflation risks, and an onslaught of Eastern powers aligning (BRICS) and trying to weaken the US dollar. Gold and silver I think in the short term are a little overbought currently with a huge run up lately. Meanwhile Bitcoin has lagged behind and I think when/if the war in Iran lets up I think that sends Bitcoin on its next run up with it being very oversold in the short term VOO/VTI/VUG and chill. Most of my money invested is in S&P500 based ETF's and index funds. Slow and steady wins the race and investing here allows me to take some chances with individual equities elsewhere

Copper and rare earth plays are interesting here. FCX and MP have been on my radar for a while — people sleep on the physical infrastructure side of AI way too much.

LIN, VG, STNG, FCX, CF. Shortages incoming.

Hmm I like copper but just stick to the ETFs and hold COPJ COPP COPX (too many tickers to choose from and feel like I was too late to jump into the giants like FCX/SCCO)

GamblingMikkee

FCX -7% tomorrow

CarefullEugene

For miners specifically, rather than trying to predict the Strait duration, I'd focus on your individual companies' energy cost exposure and whether they hedge fuel. A blanket trim based on macro fear often means selling at the worst time. If your thesis on the underlying companies is still intact, short-term oil spikes are noise. As an example of a miner: $FCX is the world's largest publicly traded copper producer, and copper demand from EVs, data centers, and electrification makes it structurally well-positioned regardless of short-term oil noise. It beat Q4 earnings

CallsOrPutsYES

FCX is highly volatile

YaLlegaHiperhumor

I have $FCX (-9%), $STNE (-5%), $VALE (-4%) and $JD (-3%). I'm already -$10,500 in the year with $70,000 invested I should sell to stop the bleeding now instead of letting it go all the way down to -$15,000 by EOW, right?

Spirited-Print-1097

Made enough money to buy a car on TGB, FCX, & EUAD. My next play is covered calls on Asian based ETFs. Was going to bet on oil leaps for after the midterms. TACO boy messed me up there. My strategy was he got his Saudi buddies to pump, to try to staunch inflation until after the midterms. That has gone out the window.

Spirited-Print-1097

Copper, FCX, TGB, UGA, BWET.

That was from 3 weeks ago when I sold ELTP until now, all while metals have been trading mostly sideways. Imagine having sold ELTP 6 months ago (it is now down 35% since then) and moving into, say, FCX (up 54%) or ANY other metals company. Hell most of my metal tickers are up over 200% on the 6months, 2 are up over 900%. It doesn’t have to be metals. What about space sector? ASTS, RKLB both are doing 70+% Again, the opportunity cost is just too high. Yes, money was made with ELTP if you got in early enough; but this is trading man. If you’re going to just sit park your money and pray do it in VOO or any other ETF (which have ALL dramatically outpaced ELTP) Your money is dying in ELTP and you are desperately trying to convince these folks it’s a gem. Beware folks. This isn’t a team sport.

jarchack

I didn't think there was any money being put into infrastructure, so I didn't even look to that sector. I do own some FCX, which is fairly related. I got caught with my pants down with silver, but I started buying it last March, so I really didn't lose money since I bought in at $30.

milocreates

I need FCX to go back to $80. Appreciate yall buying some today.

**AI Infrastructure Options Playbook — Q2 2026** The thesis: AI compute buildout creates demand convergence across copper, silver, energy, and precious metals. Here's how I'm playing it through end of Q2. **TIER 1: COPPER (highest conviction)** JPMorgan targets copper at $12,500/mt by Q2, UBS at $13,000 by year-end. Grasberg mine (world's 2nd largest) still partially closed until Q2. Global refined copper deficit projected at \~330kmt. The kicker: data center copper demand alone expected to hit 475,000 tons in 2026, up from 110,000 in 2025. That's a 4x jump. * **COPX $95-100C Jul 2026** — leveraged play on the miners * **FCX $70C Jul 2026** — largest pure-play, directly exposed to Grasberg reopening catalyst Risk: COPX already up 119% in a year. China weakness could flush you 20-30%. Copper + silver = 60-70% of the position. That's where supply deficit, AI demand, and mine disruptions all converge. Not financial advice, just mapping the thesis to instruments.

xMeowImDaddyx

FCX and SCCO have been paying me well for a long while. Copper is already here but it's also coming you're right

SameCategory546

trump is the first president to actively have a critical minerals policy. Compare that to Obama’s admin failing to broker a deal for FCX to sell a cobalt mine. FCX ended up selling to China. FWIW I think the democrats also would have done the same as Trump bc there is a huge amount market participants who would have seen that need but Trump happened to be president

cln0110

Thanks! Been busy with work so intermittent trading lately--obligatory spy weeklies, some longer term rare earth and mining plays (MP, UCORE, LYSDY, FCX, VALE).

dAn_tHe_mAn7

is this a bull trap right now? i seen this pattern many times before followed by a huge correction. i want to buy UNH, MSTF and FCX but i am scared

I-drank-the-kool-aid

I don't see why you need to buy calls unless you figured out a way to predict that there is going to be large movement higher. Besides, your move higher would have to be more than the commission of the call for you to make a profit. I do the wheel weekly on stocks in the $60 range AA, TQQQ, SQQQ, BTI, FCX. I'm looking to get at least $100 in premium per sale. I average around $150 a week. *I'm not a high roller, but i'm happy with my gains.*

I suck at calling tops but pretty good at calling bottoms. Let's keep in touch. EX, I bought FCX calls in Oct at the low but sold way too soon.

Keeltoodeep

This is blatantly wrong and retarded. https://s22.q4cdn.com/529358580/files/doc_presentations/2025/FCX_4Q25_CC.pdf Exploration and mining operations are routinely planned out to 2040 and beyond.

JohniBGood

I ran AI analysis on this thead, and asked it to recommend a stock that is expected to move the most with Copper: If copper goes to $5.00/lb or higher, here is the likely order of performance (Percentage Gain): Surge Copper (SURG): Highest risk, highest potential reward (Exploration stage). Taseko (TGB): High leverage, produces cash now (Small Producer). Hudbay (HBM): Strong leverage, safer asset base (Mid-Tier Producer). Freeport (FCX) / Southern Copper (SCCO): Steady gains, dividends (Major Producers). Final Call: Stick with Taseko (TGB) if you want the sweet spot between "actually selling copper today" and "small enough to double quickly."

bought some FCX stock (20 shares, i'm not exactly a hedge fund lol) at the market open, oops

Why COPX over FCX?

Makemoney-101

FCX just hit a 52 week high. This should roll over to a lot of precious metal pennies. Especially Gold.

All hail FCX🙏🏻

Clinggdiggy2

Not exclusively Canadian, but I've been nearly full port into mining stocks for a few months now - Check out TGB, PAAS (both Canadian), SOUHY (Australian), MT (European), FCX, UUUU (American)

_Sqwae

EV’s use on average of [183 lbs of copper per vehicle](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/how-much-copper-is-in-an-electric-vehicle/). High grade copper goes for ~$6 currently per lb. Do the math and that’s close to $1k worth of copper in an EV. EV’s make up ~12% of the demand of the copper industry as well. Long Copper $COPX $FCX $ERO

Nitor_

FCX, SCCO and TGB are the big players rn. Or you could buy Hg futures for the summer. 

Mlturner28

I owned FCX back in 2002-2005. It’s been ~20 years. Do they have any new mines since then? I worry about the mining CO’s running out of stuff to dig. I remember them talking about their grabbers mine in Indonesia.

Portfoliana

The thesis is solid on fundamentals. Just watch out for the timing mismatch - demand narratives can stay ahead of price for years while producers work through inventory cycles. If you want exposure, I'd look at copper miners over the physical metal - FCX and SCCO give you operating leverage if the supply crunch actually materializes.

Intelligent-Use177

$CDE being shorted $HL $AG $FCX $B $NEM $SILJ $SIL $HYMC MANY CHEAP MINERS

Portfoliana

The thesis is solid but timing matters. Copper miners have been a "good idea" for like 5 years now while gold actually delivered. That said, if you want exposure Id go with actual miners (FCX, SCCO) over commodity ETFs. They're printing cash at current prices and the divident yields are decent. Just dont expect it to move like a tech stock - commoditiy plays are patience games.

Guccimayne

I picked up FCX after that mine collapse and it has been ripping since

trader_dennis

FCX as a long term play.

FCX. Ya like copper? It make ya dick hard? Check it out.

minjisveryown

FCX!

Creative-Sherbet-584

Alright, this is a sector I spent a longtime looking into. Copper doesn't function the same way Gold and Silver does and won't ever respond with the same debasement trade as Gold and Silver. Silver is likely a short term response as well, similar to some alt coin. Copper is not actually supply constrained, it may have momentary constraints over the medium term but there is enough copper to do what people need. Additionally, when copper becomes too expensive over 6$ a lb for too long alternatives like aluminum and various other conductors start to become viable alternatives. Some things are already moving towards alternative metals in the industry to ease constraints. The move on copper has already been made across the industry most copper names are trading at p/es 20-40. FCX, SCCO, MLI, ETN, etc

fallingdowndizzyvr

I've been long FCX for decades. It's my copper equivalent with a splash of gold thown in for spice.

London_man007

> I’m less focused on picking the “perfect” names and more on catching rotation when it actually shows up on the chart. Energy and materials make sense macro wise, but timing matters or you just sit in dead money. I usually track names like XLE, XOM, CVX, COP, and materials like FCX and XLB, then wait for structure to flip instead of front running the thesis. I use RevCan.io on TradingView to spot when momentum and higher timeframe bias actually turn bullish so I can play calls instead of guessing bottoms. Let price confirm the story first, the money follows after.

Ravenous_Vortex

Buy the miners (like FCX). Let the actual industrial use bid up the price.

rocinante1882

I just sold my stake in SCCO after being up +300% from when I bought it a while back. I knew metals were going to keep going, I just didn't think they had much more room to keep going, and 300% profits locked in aint too bad. Trying to find another good buy in other than an ETF. I've been looking at FCX, possibly TRX for the gold chase. Not sure what else there is copper wise, anyone got anything?

Traded $FCX for a while and have been long on $SCCO for a few years. Started a position in $WRN, very cheap, but already doubled my investment. Most recently picked up $USAR before it's current run.

Interesting-Ad5111

Yep. HYMC, HL, FCX, and KCG. I think they are all about to hit. Might be tomorrow might be next year. There has been a lot of government funding thrown into the mining industry.

BetZealousideal7761

FCX, GE calls and also ISRG calls 🫣

constructiontimeagnn

$FCX , if the Golden Egg is precious, the Goose that lays them is...... $FCX mines Gold, Silver and most precious of all Copper. Structural Deficit, even if they open up the mines, even if they start using Aluminum more than Copper, $FCX continues to climb, more so when mine Grasberg mine reopens. Long on $SNDL on Rescheduling Pending, $BB on QNX imbeddedness in all things mechanized, autonomous, humanoids. Long on $UAMY only antimony full vertical in the US, $EU only full vertical Uranium extraction vs pit mining, and can yellowcake their own Uranium.

I started buying FCX and CPER but I was fighting a margin call all day and had liquidity trouble. Need to wait for some settlement before going into gold again. I think 8000 is possible

music_is_gud

Why tf did I not buy more of FCX *smh*

Nitor_

Copper mining/refining companies. Like silver, we might see a shortage this year. FCX or SCCO for example.

DopeBook

Thoughts on the margin by which FCX will beat expectations on Thursday?

drew-gen-x

Instead of BTD on the red stocks today, I'm buying the green stocks. $FCX, $MOS, and $AA. Commodities, commodities, commodities.

Exotic_Detective_804

They are doing it already - buying hard assets. If it really starts hitting the fan, bonds will sell off as countries refuse to buy US debt. Rates would skyrocket and equity markets would crash. The dollar should go up along with rates, but I suspect you would see a glut of dollars in the system. Cross currents will collapse just about everything weaker hands will sell everything. Then you're right back to owning hard assets as the only safe haven. I'm too late to the party to buy gold or silver, so I bought RIO and FCX as a placeholder until I find a precious metals entry point.

Intelligent-Use177

FCX is probably going to break a record this week right? Maxed out gold copper and silver price for them.

can i ask why you'd choose fcx over COPX or SCCO? My understanding is FCX only advantage is it's US based but if tariffs are lifted they lose quite a bit of leverage for non-US copper securities

FCX went from 45 to over 60 in the past month TECK is next its only at 51 these are the best copper plays

RichNarration

Been watching FCX too and honestly copper prices have been all over the place lately. The China demand stuff is still kinda murky but infrastructure spending could give it a boost That said, mining stocks always seem to overshoot expectations either way so might be a wild ride regardless of what the actual numbers look like

STONKLEAPS

FCX, collect dividends, buy calls, sell puts

STONKLEAPS

Copper demand far outpaces silver, and there’s supply constraints. FCX straight up from here
