FCX

I was pounding the table about FCX in April when it was in the high $20’s.

IntrepidFarmer5666

Bet none of you bothered to load up on mining stocks FCX gonna make me thousands just from a single call bought 2 weeks ago 

PrettyLittleRosey

Look at Quanta Services (PWR), ABB, Eaton (ETN), NextEra Energy (NEE), and Freeport-McMoRan (FCX). All benefit from rising grid and energy infrastructure demand.

cakeslol

Unsure why FCX ever got down graded to begin with tbh

Sparkvark65

Bought FCX around $45. Who would have thought copper would go down and not recover. I can only hope TACO's on again off again nonsensical tarrifs will get me back to break even or even a little higher

ElectricalSystem1761

I’ve gone with FCX and BHP to see which one turns out best after 5 years

UPinCarolina

Bought some UUUU and FCX today. Raw materials have to come from somewhere, and it's clear that we need domestic sources.

browsk

Was buying FCX under 30 and waiting for it to cycle back up to 45 in a year a free 50% gain play?

glompulin

I'm thinking FCX calls. Everyone bulling on NEM, but FCX has the biggest gold mine. Could be a huge mover.

Rare-ish_Bird

Was actually looking at FCX....it has copper mines and molly too.

FCX

Cantfindthebeer

Fun fact about Rio Tinto, they’ve got the largest open-pit copper mine (might be largest open pit mine period) in the world, bout 45 minutes to an hour outside of Salt Lake City. FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) is a U.S. based copper producer, not bad either. Buncha mines all across the southwest. Main problem is commodities crashing as a whole if economic activity slows down. Sure the U.S. uses more copper than it can produce, so theoretically a U.S. copper producer should flourish with tariffs, but if the demand as a whole for copper goes down FCX, Rio, etc are still boned.

Ya, I did 5% gold and 5% copper. I did GLDM/AEM and CPER/FCX.

Will mining and rare earth materials companies like VALE, FCX, and BHP start to skyrocket because of this?

Fuck JP Morgan. They lowered the price of FCX.

FCX +10% I am richhhh! hookers and cocaine for me tonight

Affectionate-Day2743

guys should I buy some FCX? I kinda think I should.

browsk

FCX would be the only one on my radar, perfect cyclical stock to ride from low 30s to 45 each time

Scary-Ad5384

Well you can’t live and die on stocks down 50% gaining 100% but in a market like this you certainly can pick up a pretty quick 20% . Market prices for recession commodities tank. So my brave trade on FCX at 29.00 which some fellow on here said was a brave trade is at 31.41 in early trade. Recession fears ebb and I get a quick pop. I’d dump it on a 8% pullback. There’s probably a couple hundred stocks in the same boat.

AntoniaFauci

LLY $680. FCX down from $48 to $28 even though copper is at multi-year highs.

Scary-Ad5384

I’ve used that since I started investing. Not that I expect it to totally get back to the high. It did enter into buying FCX at 29.00 Friday which is down from 53.00 in May 2024. 35.00 would make me grin 😀

Scary-Ad5384

Honestly I just started ..Only oil gas I have now is KMI. I sold all my oil stocks shortly after DJT was elected..I did keep one share of every thing I sold. DVN is about 90% from the 52 week high of 55.09 ..Buffet holding OXY ..75% off its 52 week high. I could go on but you get it right? Extreme pessimism usually screams opportunity.. I the same thought process I bought FCX around 29.00 , another stock 90% of highs. These aren’t the best ones when looking for dividends though.

Scary-Ad5384

Well for what it’s worth I added a full position in FCX at 29.50. Pretty close to a 52 week low. Commodities usually crash in the midst of recession fears.

browsk

Add some FCX too for copper commodity, always goes between 30s and 45, nice and cyclical.

Opening-Camera5485

FCX under 40isinsanity–theirAIsmelterupgradescutcashcoststo1.25/lb. When copper hits $5.50 by 2026 EPS goes parabolic. Bears sleeping on the Pentagon's submarine cable buildout 🚀

creemeeseason

Note on FCX.... There's a lot of speculation that the run-up in copper prices has been due to short term buying to get in front of potential Tariffs. The miners haven't moved because the market thinks this is a blip, or they think that higher production costs will cancel out the higher prices.

AntoniaFauci

Days like this I always put the vapo-rub on the nostrils and slip into the hazmat suit to go buying some terrible left for dead names. Key isn’t looking for things that are down a lot, but down without good reason other than “market is angry” Some I’m noticing... FCX - it’s basically copper, but a miner, so the stock lags. Getting blasted because of tariff terrorism, but people haven’t yet realized copper is exempt. Stock is down 32% YTD but copper commodity has been on a parabolic tear the last few weeks. IN NORMAL TIMES that would mean FCX stock is due for a huge rally. Big asterisk on “in normal times”. FTAI does aviation servicing work, that's not going away with tariffs. Demand is strong and rising. Share price got shellacked by short report on accounting, but right when that got cleared up was when the selloff began so it hasn’t had a market in which to get properly repriced. If you believe things will calm down eventually, FTAI could return closer to former levels $150 range. UBER - no tariff impact but stock is down 23% from recent top. Could be the kind of name money flows to from people who still want stock market exposure but no tariff risk. Higher prices will favor UBER on the rider demand side and bumbling economy will also favor UBER on driver supply. DELL - being thrown out with the AI/NVDA bathwater. Down to covid lows even as there is massive demand for data centers with or without AI. It’s a best of breed tech supplier trading at 8.7x.

MrCoolGuy42

No one ever listens to me in here. I was pounding my fists about FCX / copper trade last month

goZUCKurself

Anyone else buying FCX at these levels? Or concerned about their tariffs?

AP9384629344432

Yeah I was primarily thinking of FCX since it has both copper + gold, and also Barrick/Newmoney, etc. Didn't look at AEM.

AntoniaFauci

> gold miner stocks barely responding Um, what? Look at the chart of AEM. It responded +3% yesterday alone. I do agree that the action on FCX is bewildering. It’s down 30-40% while copper is up 30-40%. I don’t agree copper is a mirage. It’s an irreplaceable material for electrification and things like grid infrastructure. It might get whipsawed by misguided market players trading it on the hourly sentiments of data center boom/bust. But the overarching fact is that with or without a data center boom, electricity use in every country only goes up. As for gold, it’s also irreplaceable as a material for electric interconnects and for emotional uses, but the surge is primarily driven a flee to safety.

Fit_Ad2710

I did CC on HP and FCX. I need weeklies , I want to get at least 4% per month. I don't really care where the stock goes as long as it doesn't totally tank.

MyLuckIsTurning

If you're not shorting these companies for April 2 lib day idk what to tell you AZN FCX GSK BHP RIO NVS WFG SCCO RDY

HandJobless

Remember this means: copper will go up - buy FCX! Apricot and Magna are lesser known stocks that will get hammered.

JaxTaylor2

Listen to me carefully. The market is going to go up. We are going to see new all time highs the extent to which you won’t imagine was possible. Asset inflation is likely going to be triple digit percentages in 4 years from now. This is what happens when the rich get richer—they allocate capital toward areas of growth and investment. There is no conundrum here. Your friend is going to spend the next several years looking for every single piece of bad news and market decline as evidence that he was right, and he’ll emotionally be holding on for it to get back to these levels. Then the regret and capitulation will kick in and he’ll buy at the high, JUST like people did in the fall. Just like people do ever. single. time. The fact that you are having an emotional argument about what the right move to make is proof positive of it. Anyone who is rational and can look away for a few months sees this as a golden opportunity. Gold itself was literally setup perfectly from the lows back in Jan to vault to new highs. You know who’s going to benefit from that? Miners. Do you think $FCX is hitting new highs? l. o. l. You have got to learn to separate the emotion from the decision making. This is an incredible opportunity. Leave the regrets for your friend. Now, how many shares of Aerotyne am I putting you in for?

The ultimate safe asset and the firms who are efficiently producing said asset seem like the long play if I don't just want to sit on a cash pile atm. In addition to these, I also hold Barrick (GOLD) ofc as well as FCX, EGO, a couple of others, and a large position in GDX for broad sector exposure. https://preview.redd.it/2m7moka6sioe1.png?width=479&format=png&auto=webp&s=c62a9e232a57f782ed42bbbf2d1748b050449021

Those FCX calls i mentioned twice in here yesterday that no one paid attention to are fucking printing 

MrCoolGuy42

There were multiple unusual options alerts for $FCX OTM calls in March 21, April and May today. Very usual for this ticker. What could be brewing in copper/mining? Is this a tariff play?

#**TLDR** --- **Ticker:** NVDA, AMD, AAPL, FCX, LVS, PLTR, MSFT, DKNG, SCMI, CROX **Direction:** Mixed **Prognosis:** OP is seeking advice on how to proceed with their portfolio after turning $320k into over $2 million since 2019.

Mining stocks as a 10-bagger? The contrarian setup is real, but the execution in this post is sloppy. Yes, miners are trading at “left for dead” valuations despite strong gold and copper prices, and yes, history shows they outperform during inflationary spikes and tech downturns. But GDXJ is a dumpster fire of cash-burning dilution machines. Most of these companies will never produce an ounce of gold, let alone generate free cash flow. If you want real upside, you need companies that can survive and thrive at today’s prices—not just in a speculative mania. That means targeting low-cost, high-margin gold producers like Agnico Eagle (AEM), B2Gold (BTG), and Kinross (KGC), all of which are already profitable with strong balance sheets and low AISC. If you’re looking for 10-baggers, forget ETFs—focus on single-asset, high-grade juniors with clear paths to production and limited dilution. And if you’re serious about commodities, you can’t stop at gold—copper and lithium need to be part of the equation. Electrification is the defining macro trend of the next decade, and demand for these metals is far outpacing supply. Copper is an existential bottleneck for the energy transition, and the best-positioned producers—First Quantum (FM.TO) and Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)—run massive, cost-efficient mines that will print cash at current prices. Lithium, meanwhile, is a looming supply crisis. Sigma Lithium (SGML) has the lowest-cost hard rock operation on the planet (~$500/ton LCE) with zero net debt, while Albemarle (ALB) generates billions in free cash flow and has a conservative 1.2x net debt/EBITDA. These aren’t speculation plays—these are capital-efficient, fundamentally strong companies that will benefit regardless of whether we get a speculative mining bubble. The key is balance sheet strength and cost efficiency. Agnico Eagle’s AISC is just ~$1,239/oz with net debt under $217M. B2Gold runs at sub-$1,100/oz AISC with a net cash position and a 6% dividend. Kinross has aggressively deleveraged, slashing net debt by $800M to just ~1.0x EBITDA. In copper, First Quantum’s cash costs sit at ~$1.40/lb, while Freeport-McMoRan remains the safest pick with AISC of ~$1.60/lb and a pristine ~0.7x net debt/EBITDA. If you want exposure to mining, this is how you build a portfolio—gold for defensive value, copper for secular growth, and lithium for explosive upside. GDXJ? That’s dead money.

brock2063

MRK, PFE, and FCX are the ones you should keep forever. They are proven companies that have been around forever. Keep them for their dividends and reinvest at these low prices. They'll bounce back when the market rotates again in a downturn.

leomeng

Yes. But I’m 80% in biotech which was in the shitter for 4 years. And China which similarly wasn’t over pumped. FCX and NEM round it out for me. I’d really like Canada exposure for oil and gas or Eurozone industrial. But need to clear some trsdes (swtx TGTX)

Pau1basaur

VALE and BHP are turds better to be in $TECK and $FCX

AdhesivenessCivil581

You don't have to and you don't have to be completely out of the market. Finding individual stocks that came down in a crash and are highly undervalued is quite profitable. FCX at $8, GE at $7 before the reverse split. TECK resources at $4 in 08. It takes some work but cash is king for those times. Those were all 4-10 baggers on best in class stocks.

drpoopybuttholez

FCX has crazy open interest on the 45 strike April calls. Spiked big in December and has stayed high.

quaalyst

Got x10 shares of FCX back in 2k20. it's price is linked not to the underlying metal it is extracting (copper, manganese, gold), but to the earth's position relative to the Sun. I'm dead serious, price is going from 30 to 55 to 30 all year round.

ShortRevolution6368

I'm in FCX (gold/copper miner), AEM (gold miner), and FNV (gold royalties/streaming). I'm hoping that covers me.

British_Rover

$FCX I invest it not trade it. Small dividend too.

just_any_nick_really

Any reason why out of all these names you didnt go for the FCX? Their main mining operations are in copper, secondary gold. Two main factors influencing the price are prices of these commodities and strength of the dollar (these two work in opposite ways). The stock bottomed out around 37 with gold and especially copper prices booming to historical highs. With the eventual drop in IRs which has to happen at some point, the longterm tailwinds from commodities prices and the fact that 37 was a multi year support level, im just currious why you chose to skip this one?

theinkdon

You're welcome, I hope you like it. The FlipCharts alone are to me worth signing up for a free account. Great job on 33% in 3 months! I've gotten away from the daily/weekly/monthly trades and into more "months to a year" trades. But there are lots of ways to make money. If you don't mind a 2nd opinion on your picks: I'm not a fan of **DWO**, but if it turns and establishes a good uptrend I'd be in. I've swing-traded **FCX** when it was in its runups, but I'm not a fan now. Usually a 10% uptrend is confirmation enough for me, and it has that, but the yearlong trend is down. This might be good for a month though; or it might turn down from here and continue the trend. **CF** I like well enough, but I'm concerned that this time it went lower than the last low in December. But it's been making higher highs, so it may be poised for a run to more than 98. Still though, none of those are as good *right now* as **FOX** and **WMT**. Just something to consider. Keep up the good work.

grathan

Thanks for pointing out [Barcharts.com](http://Barcharts.com) and the quick walkthrough. I need to get back to looking at charts like I did a few years ago. I did kinda the opposite and went to the worst performing sector Materials and flipped through looking for potential reversals and liked Dow (mainly as a long term dividend play) and FCX and possibly CF. My main stock picks for the past couple years come from a watchlist on mobile app Robinhood where i look at the same 10-20 stocks every day and kinda memorize what they do. Annualized the past 3 months is like %100 (mainly due to market being volatile and me coming to grasps with my panic selling).

leomeng

It’s primarily copper with FCX. The rare earths are in Donbas. You’d literally have to physically remove Russia off the land. It’s not that simple nor easy to just “get the rare earths”

# **TLDR** --- **Ticker:** FCX **Direction:** Up **Prognosis:** Bullish on FCX due to fundamental and technical indicators suggesting a potential upward breakout. Author is long February 7th weeklies and considering a longer-term position. **Caveats:** Indonesian operations face significant risks (regulation, fire, SEC investigation). Trump tariffs present both opportunities and challenges. **Author's Position:** 10x Feb 7th weeklies, considering additional longer-term position (may sell NVDA to fund). **Bonus:** OP might need to sell some of their NVDA to buy more FCX. Sounds like a solid plan!

valuegen

Good picks, esp AEM. I'm bullish on mining too rn, especially copper and molybdenum (eg, FCX, SCCO).

Legalthrowaway6872

Love seeing portfolios like this. My recommendation is keep your 401K in VOO and your eff you money in companies you believe in. This portfolio signals you believe in America, you believe in the AI and automation story, and you know it’ll happen in America before any of these other loser countries. I’m right there with you, I own META over GOOG, PLTR over OKLO, and I like UBER over TSLA. My suggestion is to add an industrial. They can be a dog but if you believe in AI, you also need to believe that will require a significant investment in raw materials. I like FCX. Good luck!

MycologistSubject689

I've done some contract work with Yahoo Finance and: \-Freeport McMoRan (FCX), they have huge copper/gold reserves. If shit pops off with EVs, copper is gonna be in huge demand. \-Pool Corp (POOL)- I think Buffett is banking on global warming being particularly heinous, which is why he bought so much of this stock. Idk about Domino's tho

vistron6295

Mining companies in Japan are mainly operating in Australia and South Africa, not in the ocean around Japan. Many of the minerals are sufficiently provided to the US by Glencore, BHP, FCX, AMS, and Lynus. Problems with the cost will prevent them from exploiting the deposit for a while. Since I do not have an account of a US securities company, I have no idea whether you can trade Japanese stocks in the Schwab market. Maybe you can buy them through the OTC market.

Puts on FCX

drew-gen-x

$GOLD missed on earnings today, yet $FCX is up 4%. None of these gold major miners can control their AISC per ounce of gold mined. My thought on the majors is you need to find gold miners that are also heavily invested in copper mining.

OrdinaryReasonable63

Margins will eventually increase with higher spot commodity prices, I hold FCX you have exposure to gold and copper, and I think copper prices will rise once China starts depleting it's reserves.

ForwardStonks

Panic sold FCX when they went almost bankrupt.

ComfyRug

Sure thing: Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) has shown resilience with strong Q3 results, driven by a 40% increase in gold sales and stable copper production, aligning with the global electrification trend. The stock is currently trading at $48.51, slightly below its 20-day SMA of $49.38, indicating potential for upward movement. Technical indicators show a neutral RSI around 53, suggesting neither overbought nor oversold conditions, while the MACD histogram is negative, hinting at possible short-term consolidation. Given the broader market's cautious optimism and FCX's positive earnings, a long position could be considered with an entry around $48.50. Set a first price target at $49.50 and a second at $50.00, with a stop loss at $47.80 to manage downside risk. Confidence in reaching the first target is moderate due to recent earnings strength, while the second target carries lower confidence given commodity price volatility. Overall, FCX's favorable outlook amidst market complexities offers a cautiously optimistic trading opportunity.

FCX has room to run still. Gold and copper miner, has benefited from the gold bull run as well as the China stimulus supporting copper commodity prices. Long term view of cooper is bullish anyways as it is gonna be needed to build out infrastructure for all these data centers that are being build as well as in the EV transition.

The copper rally was a big headfake for sure, which is why I didn't go chasing $FCX again and had sold out around $40. I think China is going wild on smelting just to meet their growth targets, not because of strong internal/external demand. Market recognizes this and selling off copper bigly lately.

drew-gen-x

I bought more $VALE this morning. They just announced $0.37 ex-dividend date 8/5. I got in a little too early on this position as I am down -5% overall. Commodities are tricky. But buying & selling near 5 year highs & lows usually works out pretty well. Vale is not just iron ore, they mine copper as well. I would rather buy $VALE over $FCX right now.

Why not just go with safer options like COPX or a bigger miner like FCX?
