Well, tech has gotten crazy. If you follow the IGV and you look at that from October to today, it had a nice steep decline and now a bounce? And that's the software side of tech where the fear was ai can do software better and then you've got the memory clowns, micron, and Now we have SK hynix along with Western Digital and SNDK and those guys were on fire during the summer (but they are commodities) and don't forget the Korean KOSBI fiasco, if you followed that so yeah, tech is really a split personality because of the AI trade... Do we need it? Oh, we have to have it, it's here, but it's too expensive. And it's gonna kill us, but it's gonna make the world better/worse/safe... So I've done the same thing... I've added to my Lily position, for example, and I own VALE and FCX AND GLD... you know, because I want to be diversified. GL
\> The best way to invest in AI is not through ... two money-losing microcap copper miners. Copper is key today but also losing out to optics over the longer run. Picking two specific juniors is grabbing at uncompensated risk when the single FCX stock and the miner etf of COPP and junior miner etf COPJ have each outperformed the two picks for the past year and are ballpark the same for the past month.
Copper run already I grab FCX at 60 exit at 80
currently looking at FCX and CTVA also
Absolutely, copper is up 50% in the past 12 months. Earlier this year Amazon inked a deal with RIO, a two year agreement to use copper from the Johnson camp mine. AI needs copper. Copper has always been cyclical but I do like the set up I’m seeing. You can start with the major players SCCO-FCX-RIO-BHP. I like to dig a bit deeper.
The copper squeeze has a lot to do with Trump tariffs which is a binary event. The fundamentals are also kind of falling apart on the back end - if the AI stocks are all selling off because data centers aren't getting built the same will ultimately happen to copper. Holding my FCX at 30 still but my COPX I have my finger on the sell trigger if we break down.
I'm a FCX bagholder from 2008. So when FCX finally hit those levels again, I sold a bunch of it off. I still have a few 10's of thousands that I'm letting ride. Hopefully I won't be a bagholder again for another 20 years.
I feel like buying stocks for mining companies would do well too. FCX is up 80% since the beginning of 2025. https://preview.redd.it/y5am552s78ih1.png?width=1064&format=png&auto=webp&s=c68a0976f044dfa2e99e0f3106b4185ce69f6bf9
Not too sure my guy. I love playing puts, made some good doh in the past. But I got burnt solid on earnings so I’m a little cautious to keep playing them. I’m still researching but knowing myself, I’ll probably end up throwing it all on some 0dte spy puts and clinch my ashole shut! The only thing I saw was 63 puts on FCX, a month out. Don’t ask me why.
Can I ride my FCX stonks all the way up until December?
COPX is junk, agree on FCX, NEM is also good
Spent the past year building a personal research dashboard to systematically track macro signals vs. individual stocks. A few things I found genuinely surprising: Copper/gold ratio leads cyclical stocks (FCX, CAT, VALE) by \~6 weeks on average in the historical data. Congressional STOCK Act filings show a pattern where cluster buys within a 45-day window correlate more strongly than individual trades. FINRA short interest + bullish macro alignment is a notably more reliable setup than either signal alone. The part that took the most work: measuring each signal's actual predictive lag empirically (out-of-sample, with Bonferroni correction) rather than just assuming "shorter is better." Some signals that feel timely are actually lagging indicators dressed up as leading ones. Dashboard is at [unstructuredalpha.com](http://unstructuredalpha.com) if anyone wants to see the methodology. Curious what signals others find most actionable.
ironically im selling meme stock calls for like 75%-110% my buy in with the oil hilarity and just buying random ass shit. i bougt spacex on thos gains so its not my money. sopme ufod a little bit or bestbuy a little bit of intel little cgtx alot of penny stocks that i can gamble on with the gains selling calls. since the execution is over my buy oin i dont even care if they execute so i just gamble with other peoples money and call it a day. Zim and FCX made money ATOM goes all over \*Shrug\* i converted options into 60 shares of google and that did well. When its not my money i just buy anything that looks cheap and the company looks ok. I honestly dont even care about the returns half the time because some will go so high. diversification is key im not looking to get rich or anything just buy a house or pay one off or buy the next in cash. if i make alot maybe ill get new windows on my house on someone elses dime. i just look to buy shit without it coming out of my pocket. i know this sounds dumb but it works for me.
Yes, and at even deeper level, metals. miners, explorers, smelters. FCX did me well, TP and chucking half into nоvаrеd this week
I’m watching FCX, MP, NRED and a few grid names. Not saying they all run, but the theme makes more sense to me than buying a mega IPO at peak hype
AR, NXE, UUUU, LEU, for energy plays — GRRR for software / AI infra — ERO, HBM, IE, FCX, SCCO, FQVLF for copper. I’m bullish on commodities producers for grid electrification, energy production, etc, that have moats and/or large pools of potential output. Position: in with shares in all these.
Copper belongs in the power/electrification bucket. SCCO/FCX = **B copper shovels**. Less direct than switchgear/utilities, but every data center, substation, transformer, and cooling loop needs metal.
Why then not to buy $FCX instead of $CGAU? Freeport owns also molybdenum mines and capacity of their mines bigger than a Idaho site
FCX and SCCO are copper exposure. NRED/NREDF is exploration leverage
Same with FCX. Similar P/E tho
FCX has been my main copper position but I'm starting to look at some
Luckily I was regarded enough to start investing in FCX in 2018 because I thought EV's would trigger a supply demand.
FCX, SCCO for high quality. ERO, HBM, FQVLF, and IE for high beta. 🫡
Have been in FCX on the most recent upswing. Very bullish to break through $70 in the next couple months.
This is just the same spammer pushing NRED for weeks now on Reddit. This time they buried NRED in a longer article with a legit ticker or two (eg, FCX), but it is just a low-key NRED pump. Any copper story you see on Reddit these days? 8 out of 10 will ultimately drop the NRED ticker at the end. So effin’ played…
FCX, picking up copper like a meth head.
Missed FCX. Now staring at explorers like they owe me money
This is why I got 10% of my Port in FCX
I started a copper play awhile back. I buy on dips when dollar rises sharply. FCX, SCCO, HBM, IE, ERO, and FQVLF.
Thinking about getting into some copper, SCCO, FCX?? Other??
Copper is the new oil for the energy transition. Supply disruptions in Chile and Peru plus growing demand from EVs and grid upgrades are a perfect storm. I've been adding FCX and SCCO on dips. Just dont chase the spike - wait for a pullback to $4.20 or so.
FCX for copper exposure as demand continues to rise. VELO and LUNR ahead of spacex public ipo for light pick and shovel exposure. COST for more defensive as inflation and war continues, people will continue to discount buy. Probably will add more to V and MA while they’re still down a bit from ATH, will recover, especially V.
Yeah I do pay too much tax. I try to pick low priced equities, volatility is a good thing. Either sell and get assigned or not. Patience is key. I’ve been trading TGB, FCX, NLY, AGNC and O for a while. Trading is like gambling recently. So get assigned then wait for the price to go down rebuy rinse repeat. Can’t guarantee results, but if the stock goes up you gain plus premium, if it goes down then you get premium.
NRED is a scam ticker being pumped relentlessly Just stick with big bois like FCX or TECK. If you want a basket of miners, COPX is your play. Explorers tend to go bust, A LOT. The only people who make money are those who load up when it's trading for pennies and then unload it onto future bagholders as the ticker skyrockets on hope 
CRML, REMX etf. for rare earths. Adding more FCX, initiating positions in NLR and MOO. This is to hedge against inflation and ongoing stupidity in the WH.
OK I WILL BE THE GUY since OP is scared of ban so much he included zero data. \- CAT - in comments above. Probably because they sell shovels for this rush \- Copper ETF's - wide sector coverage \- SIlver ETF's - big brain move \- Established miners: FCX BHP MP you name it. \- Lotto Wildcards - any BS explorers in BC canada since copper is everywhere in that quesnel belt
"Greetings, this is a text made with Gemini, but the stocks and the strategy are my choice. To show you how I would structure this, let's assume a hypothetical starting capital of €100,000 to make the weightings clear. Here is my final breakdown of your 8-Stock Market-Beating Portfolio:" The Heavyweights (Core / Center) – €20,000 (20k) Each Nvidia (NVDA) – 20%: The undisputed king of AI hardware infrastructure. Aggressive and dominant, but essential for driving massive outperformance. Google (GOOGL) – 20%: Your rock in the surf. Enormous cash flow, AI software leadership, and the defensive anchor that shields the portfolio from extreme tech volatility. The Growth & Speculative Flanks – €10,000 (10k) Each: Micron (MU) – 10%: Profiting massively from the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) explosion. Highly cyclical, but offers massive upward leverage. Advanced Energy Industries (AEIS) – 10%: High-precision power conversion for semiconductor manufacturing. A highly specialized "pick-and-shovel" play in the tech boom. First Solar (FSLR) – 10%: The green infrastructure hedge. Captures the immense clean energy demand coming from the mega-cap tech giants. Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) – 10%: The physical commodity hedge (Copper). Essential for AI data centers and global electrification, acting as an inflation and infrastructure shield. Amkor Technology (AMKR) – 10%: Advanced Packaging. A high-growth, speculative partner responsible for stacking and packaging modern high-end chips. Arm Holdings (ARM) – 10%: The intellectual property monopoly for ultra-efficient chip architectures. Tremendous growth potential, but a highly speculative bet due to its premium valuation. High risk and high reward. For the next 5 years. A big benefit is the massive Investition in KI. AMAT is also a choise.
Shopping day, MU, GEV, NVDA, AMAT, FCX. GO GO GO, BUILD YOUR WEALTH GENTLEMEN, AND LADIES
I need someone to tell me what's the story with $USAR. Won't it collapse if Trump comes back with a deal on rear minerals? Won't it be impacted by oil surges like $FCX? If not puts, then what?
I’ve known about MU and MRVL since like 2022 hell I rode up AVGO and TSM a good bit too. Just me personally I think it’s way overextended by both MA and RSI like these are in extreme overbought territory. I’m bullish on a lot of thing though like for me personally energy infrastructure like BE, UUUU, FCX, GEV and then outside stuff too complete unrelated to AI. However I know for a fact at even banks they are working to compress memory usage for software to lower margin cost and dependency. You don’t think that’s happening all across major software companies? They’ll just keep paying out the ass and on top of that every single memory company wins? Someone WILL come out on top but do I believe nonstop pump? Absolutely not
Also you can still ride the AI wave and not have to be on memory. Example GRID, UUUU, POW, FCX GEV like energy is probably one of the easiest ways to ride up especially considering energy infrastructure is very neglected in the USA
I’m completely out of memory stocks but I’m big on lithium and copper as source materials needed like FCX or LIT etf but my biggest one is probably UUUU as one of the future choke points for uranium when nuclear starts back up in the USA epically with all the current nuclear grants. Though seriously doubt it’ll 10x or 30x like these semis have which is just straight up unsustainable
I am mostly separating producers from early-stage names.For producers, I watch names like FCX, Lundin, Hudbay, Capstone, Ivanhoe, SCCO, Vale, Zijin, Ero, First Quantum and Sandfire.For earlier-stage western pipeline exposure, I have been looking more at BC copper-gold explorers. NovaRed Mining is one
Mostly producers first because they are easier to value. FCX, SCCO, BHP, TECK, and Capstone are on my list. I also started looking at earlier-stage names for more copper optionality. One newer one on my list is NovaRed Mining. Still studying it because it is pre-resource and higher risk.
Did we find an alternative to copper? What happened to $FCX???
FCX -9 premarket on bad guidance. I’ll be dipping a toe
CCJ FCX WKSP lfg I got big boy bills to pay
Precious metal miners? Rare earths? Or maybe just commodity metals... My watch list does include FCX, SCCO, MP Materials and while not strictly western hemisphere I've analyzed and like TECK. Thanks for the reply tho, you have very high conviction in what you've been posting.
Holding my hundreds of $FCX call leaps before Ty silver / gold bull run would have made over 100k in one play and would be way passed the breakeven mark.
Short answer: there might be a play here, but not the way the article frames it. And trimming Southern Copper Corporation for tariff risk wasn’t crazy, but it’s not the main driver you should be focused on. Let’s break it down cleanly. ⸻ 1) The article’s core claim (what’s right vs hype) What’s right: * Copper supply is structurally tight. Long permitting cycles (10–15+ years) are real. * Demand from electrification (EVs, grid, data centers) is trending up. * The industry has underinvested for years. What’s exaggerated: * “Only metric that matters” → wrong. Copper equities are driven by: * copper price (obviously) * cost curve positioning * jurisdiction risk * capital discipline * A tiny explorer doing geophysics ≠ “jumping the line.” That’s promotional language. An 80 line-km geophysics program is very early stage. That’s not even close to: discovery → resource → feasibility → financing → permitting → construction You’re easily 10+ years away, and that’s if everything goes right. So the article is basically pitching a lottery ticket, not a supply-gap arbitrage. ⸻ 2) NovaRed-type play vs majors Let’s be blunt: * Early explorer = binary outcome * 90% chance: nothing meaningful * 10% chance: big hit → multi-bagger Compare that to: Freeport-McMoRan * Direct torque to copper prices * Massive existing production (Grasberg, Americas) * Prints cash when copper > ~$4 * Already past execution risk Southern Copper Corporation * Lowest-cost producers globally * Huge reserves (decades of visibility) * Strong dividend component * Heavier Peru/Mexico exposure Translation: * FCX/SCCO = you’re betting on copper * NovaRed-type = you’re betting on geology + luck ⸻ 3) Was trimming SCCO for tariff risk right? Partially right, but probably for the wrong reason. Tariffs matter less than: * political risk in Peru/Mexico * labor disruptions * tax/royalty changes SCCO’s real tradeoff: * ✅ ultra-low cost, high margins * ❌ concentrated geographic risk So trimming isn’t dumb, but: * If your thesis was “tariffs will hurt copper exports,” that’s weaker * If your thesis was “jurisdiction concentration risk,” that’s more valid ⸻ 4) Is FCX superior right now? Right now, FCX is the cleaner macro bet. Why: * More diversified geographically * More liquid, institutional favorite * Higher sensitivity to copper price spikes (good in a deficit narrative) But it comes with: * higher capex cycles * more volatility SCCO is more of a cash-yield + quality reserves play. ⸻ 5) Is there actually a “play” here? Yes, but it’s not hidden: The real copper play: * Own producers before price spikes * Not explorers hoping for a discovery If you believe the deficit narrative: * Add on weakness to FCX * Keep or selectively add SCCO if you want lower-cost exposure * Avoid over-allocating to early-stage juniors unless you want venture-style risk ⸻ 6) What I’d do in your position Given you already trimmed SCCO: * FCX → reasonable to scale in on dips (this is your torque) * SCCO → don’t abandon it entirely; it’s your quality anchor * NovaRed-type → only if you treat it like: * <2–3% position * mentally assume it can go to zero ⸻ Bottom line The article is directionally right on copper, but the conclusion is off. * The shortage thesis → real * The “tiny explorer solves it” → marketing If you want to actually monetize the copper cycle, stick with companies already pulling copper out of the ground, not ones still scanning for it.
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.
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)
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
FCX and SCCO have been paying me well for a long while. Copper is already here but it's also coming you're right
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
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).
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 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.*
FCX ... copper on fire at +2.76% Its my only positive... don't hate
AMEN!! My FCX calls bought 2 days ago did 67% today
\>accidentally market bought FCX copper calls Well there goes 300 bucks I guess
FCX printed again, done for the day 🧑🦼➡️
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.
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.
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
I bought the top of FCX yesterday
Sold some FCX around 63 (cost 61.1) and took profit, bounce is weak.
Kept loading FCX around 61.1, what a deal.
FCX juicy Dip, buy calls 2-3 months out 🧑🦼➡️
So what are your picks? I've been rocking FCX...it's been kind
