Copper investors are demonstrating the bystander effect but for commodities, and no, the upcoming shortages aren't priced in
Southern Copper production edged up for the quarter, down for the full year (NYSE:SCCO)

Great time! It’s a good time to buy for the long term. I just bought SCCO.
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)
I have a bunch of puts on SCCO that have evaporated to basically nothing. This is like manna in the desert.
Americans actually had the lowest inflation, the most energy security, the least food insecurity, the most insulation from global chaos, the cheapest natgas AND gas prices, the best performing stock market (NVDA by itself was worth more than the marketcap of most of Europe or China/HongKong/Macau COMBINED), the strongest GDP growth, the strongest labor market, and the strongest currency by which they could use to offset inflation via travel/import. But folks here acted like we were the little starving fucking Gazan kids or freezing Ukrainian kids getting their limbs blown off by missile/drone strikes. The "vibe-cession" and "Gaza is SPEAKING!"^(notice how all those mofos disappeared day 1 after Trump took office even though shit got worse for Palestine?) Anyways: Fuck around, find out. Do dumb shit, get dumb prizes. Vote clown, get circus. Since we're WSB and not r/politics : I'll won't short the USA. Much easier to just short the dollar since GDP/inflation/devaluation/deficits are not likely to decline due to the huge national debt. Light/secured borrowing, go long assets, and diversify. SSO, UWM, VT, LVMUY, AXP, SCCO, SHEL, gold, RE if you can afford it, healthcare, financials, treasury notes or short-mid bonds (no long bonds), and the like.
FCX and SCCO have been paying me well for a long while. Copper is already here but it's also coming you're right
I'm working through this myself right now. I'm trying to play around with longer term swings on Forex for instance. So I can eat a little bit more of a negative position if I think it will swing back around and turn profitable in the longer term. But where do you draw the line when it becomes clear it won't? Also, where do you accept profit and not cut winners early? I've read numerous times "no one goes broke taking a profit." But like you said, if I take profits early, and cut a winner, I am possibly losing out on a bigger win that could help overcome some of the bigger losses. The judgement aspect of when to cut out of a trade, or a longer term position, is still where I sit and wonder what the best play is. Take my current decision on SCCO. I was up +300% on a position I took on it several years ago. I sold around $190, thinking it didn't have that much more room to grow. I still made a 300% profit, so not a bad investment. But I could have squeezed out even more, as it keeps climbing. So I made a good return, but I likely cut it too soon.
It says that SCCO makes 45,000 oz of gold as a mining byproduct, silver is similar too.. so when you talk about copper mining there’s this other income source.
I've used it a lot to learn about certain industries, mainly rare earth metals and the like. For example I believe Cobalt has a bright future since it's used in so much, then I learned it's actually a byproduct of Iron and Copper. So I think researched bigger tickets for that, and went heavy into a few like VALE, SCCO, and BHP. I've done pretty well with them!
Investing in copper can be a good investment in general, since there is a lot of industrial need for copper. My point is that you shouldn't expect a copper investment to skyrocket 100% or 200% in a year like happened with gold and silver. For any company who's shares are publicly traded in the U.S., just look up the company's ticker on Yahoo Finance (free) and on the left hand side click the "Holders" link at the bottom. That will tell you how much of the stock is owned by institutions, insiders, etc. For example [here's](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SCCO/holders/) the holders section of Southern Copper Corporation.
My southern copper SCCO holdings has been having an aneurysm going up and down 10% every day
everyone was so focused on silver and my king SCCO is keeping me profitable
What just happened to SCCO? 15 point drop in a minute?
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."
Copper, SCCO specifically. I think it is still quite unnoticed
Yup, demand for copper isn’t going anywhere. SCCO here I come!
Copper bros let's gooooo. I'm in SCCO, what are you guys holding?
sitting on SCCO and UNH calls
There’s COPX, CPER, SCCO
SCCO Calls MU Calls Silver calls all loaded up am i retarded? yes am i expecting to lose it all? yes
FCX, SCCO and TGB are the big players rn. Or you could buy Hg futures for the summer.
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.
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.
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
LXU and SCCO, gonna get that copper money
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?
SCCO is already up 29% this year.
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.
I picked up a bunch about a year ago. SCCO, ALB, GCUMF, SLVR(mix of physical and mining silver), etc..
Good ol SCCO keeping me down 0.15 as opposed to the Snp’s -2%
Copper mining/refining companies. Like silver, we might see a shortage this year. FCX or SCCO for example.
SCCO stock ticker Up 89.44% in 1 year Up 139.46% in 2 years Not bad if you go in early
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
I’m in WDC, GS, and SCCO now
$SCCO it started taking offabout a month ago. A bit on the pricey side but it's a solid stock.
SCCO vs FCX will be interesting given Mexico...
*Valuation Stretched* Stock up ~ (Yahoo Finance) 138% YTD with a 35.7x earnings multiple. Average analyst price target of $51.55 implies ~4% downside, suggesting the stock is "priced to perfection" (TipRanks). P/S ratio of 4.49x near its 3-year high of 4.54x, well above industry average of 2.74x (Finimize) *Good News Already Priced In* Concerns mounting that the market has already priced in much of the good news from the $2.1 billion MAG Silver deal and higher production guidance (Weiss Ratings) With the stock trading near its 52-week high and institutional buying like North of South Capital's 444% stake increase already disclosed, fresh incremental catalysts are limited in the near term (Weiss Ratings) *Silver Price Dependency* Financial health closely tied to the price of metals on the world stage (Finimize). Silver is notoriously volatile—a mean reversion from current ~$30+ levels would compress margins significantly. Shares vulnerable to pullbacks as traders react to any disappointment in silver prices (Weiss Ratings) *Operational/Execution Risks* Business model heavily exposed to operational disruptions, cost inflation, regulatory challenges and environmental compliance in multiple jurisdictions (Weiss Ratings). Faces integration and execution risk as it manages assets at different stages of their life cycles (Weiss Ratings). Increased exploration costs have sparked discussions about potential impact on future production and profit margins (StocksToTrade). *Jurisdictional Risk* Operations across Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia—politically volatile mining jurisdictions. Permitting and social-license requirements can delay projects or restrict expansions. Mexico in particular has become increasingly hostile to mining interests. Poor Shareholder Returns Relative to Volatility. Weak dividend support—despite reasonable profitability and 11.29% ROE, shareholders not being well-compensated through dividends for the volatility they endure (Weiss Ratings). Compared with peers like Southern Copper (SCCO) and Agnico Eagle (AEM), PAAS offers similar ratings but less dividend support (Weiss Ratings). *Technical Weakness* Recent session volume of 3.77M shares well below the 90-day average of 6.57M, suggesting pullback unfolding without heavy buying support (Weiss Ratings). Stock losing ground near the top of its trading range rather than extending higher (Weiss Ratings). Bottom line: If you're bearish silver prices, see the MAG Silver integration as a "sell the news" event, or believe the ~30-35x multiple is unsustainable for a miner, PAAS has meaningful downside risk from current levels. The analyst targets clustered around $51-52 vs. recent trading near $53-55 suggest limited upside even in a constructive scenario.
Agree on copper and metals! I just started getting into SCCO 2 weeks ago and it blew up this week but I'm going to just DCA further into it Also heavy into VALE, because they get a decent amount of Cobalt which will be very important in the space market for the next few years. Love it!
I just came here to see if I should take some winnings off the table from SCCO and this was the most recent post. I bought in 2022 and it's up 80% over the last year alone.
UCU makes no money USAR makes no money UUUU makes no money ERO, FCX, and SCCO have quite a high P/E for the sector. Watch the next FCX report closely (or simply bet on the copper price going on the roof)
What you think about these minerals tickers? USAR, ERO, UUUU, UCU, FCX, SCCO.
No new individual picks for me (just feeding VTI/VXUS) but I have some QS I’m gonna let ride (very small % of portfolio) Also have a gold miner (AEM) and copper (SCCO). Took profit from AEM over the last couple months, maybe too soon, but was up over 250% from my basis and seemed prudent. Still have a small amount on the table.
minerals are back on the menu. UAMY, PPTA and SCCO looking strong. Anyone has a price target?
Empecé el año decidido a hacer plata. ASTS, ONDS, CHOW, BIDU, BBAI, POET y SCCO adentro. Agregué más a SLS y mantengo ZLAB, TIGR y ANGH. A la Luna!!
We’ve made a fortune on Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO). Their copper is combined with Silver and Molybdenum so their copper is free. It pays a good dividend as well.
Great choices! JEPI and XYLD are solid options for income, and SCCO has good potential too. Looking forward to seeing how they perform for you!
This sub doesn't allow edits?? I ended up buying: XYLD SCCO JEPI in case anyone wants to comment on my choices.
If you’re not into buying the commodity, Barron’s says copper can be played by buying Freeport McMoran (FCX) or Southern Copper (SCCO).
I like SCCO a lot, lot better at $126’ish than here. I like picking individuals over baskets because I think the juniors have more upside. Downside is you have to be particular because they private place all the effing time and will dilute you. Could be more bang for the buck on OTM calls on NGD. I’ve made bank on that using daily charts and just adding on every dip. I’d be in love with buying OTM calls when/if that retraces to $7.82.
Thank you What do you think about the ETF's ? COPX COPJ ? Also looking at these two . SCCO , FXC. Copper looks like it's run up about the same as Silver and Gold . Is it worth waiting for a correction?
SCCO Green energy is the future and we are going to be needing insane amounts of copper. It’s basically the new oil
SCCO was a great one, they blew up to like $140 a share and solid dividend. Been holding since it was $60 a few years ago
SCCO or anything related to copper
Been research metal stocks (not gold/silver) I like RIO SCCO Any other good ones
\+42% this year. STLD and SCCO were the main pushers.
I've been buying SCCO and ERO (NEXM is cheap but early); for Lithium, I've been buying LAC. got some Uranium stocks too.
Also, copper. We need all of the copper we can get x100. Plays like SCCO, RIO will be your safe solid bets and small US or Canada based ones could blow up like Gunnison copper...
Still, AREC. If anything a deal with China opens up that market. US and Canada miners that are going or near will be fine as well. LAC, ALB, SCCO, etc...
These AI data centers use up a lot of copper. The price of copper just blew through $5/lb. SCCO is the lowest cost producer/miner.
Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO).
To balance my portfolio, I wanted to own property, concrete things, like mines. Even if you buy index funds like $SPY or $VVT you’ve invested 20% or more in technology companies that may or may not make the final cut; e.g anyone think that IBM may come out on top with quantum computing? Place your bets everyone!. My philosophy is if there’s a gold rush, sell shovels. This gold rush requires lots of copper and energy—nuclear energy and SMRs. So I balanced my portfolio with. $BHP, $RIO, $SCCO, and $CCJ. $CCJ has a stake in WestingHouse, a producer of SMRs.
I second SCCO, one of the lowest if not the lowest cash costs in the industry. Great management.
Sure, I think people gravitate towards Teck because it’s probably the most famous Canadian mining company and I’m guessing you are Canadian… it’s familiarity bias. The thing about Teck is that management is really really bad at allocating capital, most of their assets are mid tier aside from QB2… which is a top tier asset that’s been fumbled by a company that doesn’t know how to execute big projects or have any cost discipline. Teck is also really bloated. Ivanhoe has near term issues because an over aggressive mine plan led to some issues at Komoa Kukula… but that’s still the third best copper mine on the planet. And they have shown they can bring projects on in a relatively short time frame. With First Quantum you are betting that the Panama situation will get resolved, and it looks like it will. If it does Cobre Panama is one of the best mines in the world. And if you just want pure play copper mining exposure, just get SCCO. There is no reason to choose Teck.
I believe in the copper story but Teck is one of the worst run mining companies out there. SCCO is best of breed for copper, Ivanhoe mines or First Quantum if you want to speculate.
I'm positioned in Copper via SCCO, energy via TTE and STNG and Crane for manufacturing/industrial. We will see if your predictions come true. For gold I just own a gold ETF.
COPP, CPER, FCX, NEM, TGB, HL, SCCO, COPX, ERO, RIO lol
apologies if I should’ve posted this under another sub but in defense of old people…i’m 75. and just in case i live another decade or two🤞… I am *still* 60% equities (a mix of everything from VOO & EWS to ABVE & GME— although mostly AAPL&GOOG); 10% commodities (GLD, SCCO); 20% T bills (in brokerage) and bonds (in IRA) and 10% HYSA— which I consider to be cash. and I have never worked a day in finance. so, it can be done.
American Copper companies will 🚀 tomorrow. I'd be looking at SCCO, FCX, and TGB. You're welcome
So will American Copper companies 🚀 tomorrow? SCCO, FCX, and TGB?
Just in 🌮🌮: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/09/trump-says-50percent-tariff-on-copper-will-begin-aug-1.html Quick search not DD. - Freeport-McMoRan (FCX): $45.59 - Southern Copper (SCCO): $99.92 - Taseko Mines (TGB): $3.37 - Hudbay Minerals (HBM): $10.64 - Ero Copper (ERO): $14.28 As always Trump will most likely 🌮TACO
Why is $SCCO not up more over this copper tariff news?
Why the copper stuff is going up and SCCO dipping after it went up yesterday (and I bought it...)? I don't get it, what is wrong with SCCO??? 😔
1. Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO) 2. First American Financial (FAF) 3. Steel Dynamics (STLD) 4. Navios Maritime (NMM) 5. Suzana (SUZ)
Bro? Please take a look at SCCO. Best best clean copper play out there. FCC isn't nearly as well run a company.
Electric cars and solar panels need copper wire. Invest in SCCO
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
I bought some SCCO like 5 years ago and I’m still holding, that’s about all the exposure I want to this sector atm
Hmm. I think I'll stick to copper and SCCO. All of these electric cars and robots will have motors that need copper.
Good picks, esp AEM. I'm bullish on mining too rn, especially copper and molybdenum (eg, FCX, SCCO).
There is no opportunities that I can see anywhere in the major indices/commodities. I cant get confidently long or short on really anything right now. Stocks need to see some signs of sellers. Before I could get short, and I cant get long at these levels so I need that pullback. I see signs of weakness and possibly further downside in the russel, and the dow looks pretty week too. Ill be looking for a small initial position this week in both. Bonds are in limbo, caught the recent move up and got out last week. Looking for a pullback or range break before re entering any longs. Metals all look stuck and in limbo, with the exception of copper potentially breaking out with the HSI. I did enter a small SCCO, and FXI long last week, and looking for further confirmation before adding to the position. Oil and gas both in limbo, nothing to do here until we see a range breakout.

SCCO calls 12/20 exp. 110 price target UNG calls 12/20 exp. 13.85-14 price target
I did! I closed out early for a 25% gain on the trade tbh, and rolled them into new call options expiring on the 17th of Jan for different metals companies (NEM, PAAS, SCCO, GOLD) and $ZTO for a little Chinese Logistic exposure. https://preview.redd.it/dboom8u3gr4e1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea21586b39b2703bde944ba87ea009e874578470
Late to the game again. I started shorting SCCO first part of October when I found out Marjorie Taylor Greene bought it.
I'm no genius, just made a decent call. Made it back in 2014 actually as you can see 👇, but just didn't have an online presence back then and only clued in others like close friends and family by word of mouth. http://stocktwits.com/mikel3113/message/535992637 Feel free to browse through my post and replies on that platform and you'll see mentions of other ticker symbols and screenshots of portfolios of mine. I don't have a crystal ball, but I've been right about Nvidia so far that's for sure. Some other high return holdings I have are AMD, SCCO, MU, MSTR, TSM, and VST. I also was fairly early on things like Bitcoin and Ethereum too, around $3,700 was my first buy in for Bitcoin and Ethereum around $127. Still hold them both.
I like SCCO for copper. Water and uranium are looking good long term. I'm buying stock in Duponts water division once the company splits into 3
Hopefully you still have the SCCO puts with the selloff today
I hope you didn’t sell the SCCO. I added this to my watchlist because I thought you were regarded and it’s in the money this morning.
You’ll buy a call for a penny to close the position or the call will expire worthless. You’ll lose your shirt on the idiotic SCCO position. Your analysis of copper was the dumbest thing I’ve seen this year.
lmao it’s even dumber, I’m pretty sure he just picked the first company with Copper in its name SCCO shows up in RH In his case the price of copper didn’t moon instead the company beat earnings since they do other shit not just copper.
