VALE

BrobaFett_1

I exited my position close to my cost basis (slightly down) when I read someone's anecdotal experience from LATAM. They said it's waning in popularity and has lots of cheap garbage. Plus they don't have AWS. I hope it goes up for others though. I'm still in NU, VALE, and CAAP for Latin America.

burndestroywreckkill

Don announces tariffs on Brazil, 25%. What is he trying to tank and then buy into. Top 3 brazil related stocks that AI gave me are 1) PBR [oil stock], 2) VALE [mining iron ore and nickel], 3) NU [banking or some shit?] Does anyone else have any Brazil related pump schemes they know about?

unicornprowling

Soon as the war started I bought PBR.. why because most people bought American companies. But I have been worried about BRICS for awhile so i figured kill 2 birds one stock. Ride the oil explosion and the American collapse/accelerated decline.. I have VALE and CDE to capture copper, iron and gold all needed for computer buildout. lol I even grabbed a few shares of SSL again an energy play outside of America exposed to BRICS.. biotech and many other sectors will sell off to make room for SpaceX 🤷🏽‍♂️🫣

Yeah, Rick Rule has been in mining forever, although he's retired now. He was the gold bugs hero in the 2010's. Mining stocks are very volatile since they have political & energy risks, besides just the underlying commodity. I originally bought more Barrick than actual Gold in 2020 and I would have been ahead if I waited 6 years, but the $GDX miners underperformed $GLD for like 5 years. I'm not a fan of miners. $CCJ and $VALE are a bit more stable thou.

there’s always somewhere to invest but that doesn’t mean people will want to buy what’s cheap. Right now, I think Iron ore and steel companies are where oil and gas was in November and where silver and gold stocks were last april. But nobody is on here shilling CLF, VALE, or smaller steel/iron ore/met coal companies. That is where the value is. Just buy cheap and hold for five years and the cycle will come to you.

superKWB

I did same... closed out TSM position and reduced my VALE position a tad... same reasoning you gave... good luck!

WrexyWrex

i'll make it easy for you VALE

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?

paranoidspectator

It makes sense, i did the same with no-tech brazilian companies: VALE, Petrobras, BDORY i just wouldn't use options because i'm still a dummy, and i have limits, just buying the stock and waiting is enough.

A55BAG

VALE dip bought. The commodity bull market is just getting started.

FewFroyo9834

can we learn anything from $VALE? or a different set up?

banned_maan

VALE fucking missed by a billion wow

vegetto712

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!

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).

TopGoose1999

$VALE. You’ve heard it here first.

A55BAG

Mining majors like GLENl, RIO, VALE dips got bought hard. I don't think the commodity trade is over yet.

Fun_Mind1494

TA > FA. Stocks that are breaking out from bases at least 1Y long. $XLE and related energy stocks look good. As do banks like $JPM and $BAC. I prefer emerging markets though like $EEM, $VALE and $CIB, as well as $BABA. I'm intentionally underinvested in U.S. equities. Commodities also look good, from nickel to lithium to copper to gold and silver to rare earth minerals.

Difficult-Level7038

Oh man so many good ones. D has always been my ride or die. VST is interesting for sure. RIO and VALE make a ton of sense BASFY because 🥭 doesn't want Chinese drugs

n8walker_ger

You can't spell value without VALE

TheOldGunsmith

My wife and I own shares in GLNCY, HL, RIO, VALE, NEW, CDE and KGC. Be careful in mining stocks, especially the junior ones as there is quite a bit of fraud and deceit. One highly speculative position we own is in Aterian PLC ORD which trades as ATN:GB on Fidelity. It is a London UK based mining company that has some interesting acreage in central and North Africa. Of additional interest, they are building out a trading market for local miners to sell their minerals on.

ExplanationNormal339

Glad to hear you're feeling good about VALE! Just keep an eye on the global demand for iron ore; it can really swing the stock. A solid earnings report could push it even higher, so that’ll be interesting to watch.

Zippier92

Brazil is doing well , Latin America in fact. There are many like you. Gimme some good European stocks. BBD, VALE, NU, RIO, EC working well .

drew-gen-x

Look at the 5 year chart for $AA, $MOS, $VALE, $CLF, $OXY, and $HAL. Those are the commodity stocks I have been buying. I agree with you on gold & silver. I have been holding both gold & silver, but not adding. If money actually moves out of America, where will it go? Foreign tech & banking stocks? Not a chance in hell. But you can store your cash in assets such as commodities that have demand worldwide.

kaapooj

anyone here also invested in VALE?

Chitikii

Go for one of the big base metals companies. Nice longterm patterns about to break up… BHP, VALE(adjusted for dividends) etc

derprondo

I doubled my money on VALE twice (objectively evil mining corporation). I have principals, however, eg I will never ever voluntarily buy a share of Oracle. Their sales tactics are egregiously aggressive, their licensing is extortionate, and they’ve acquired and killed multiple industry leading open source products. Also Larry is a bad guy.

A55BAG

VALE lol even iron ore is pumping 🤣

Chitikii

Not a lot of CHEAP commodity big dawgs left. VALE is my favorite. Forward P/E of 7 with emerging market and commodity bull tail winds. Brazil major index EWZ just broke out of a massive pattern….VALE is 10 percent of that index…

Chitikii

VALE baby. Brazil stock market gonna do wild things this commodity bull

vegetto712

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!

superKWB

Stocks: 7% max for a full position (of overall value), so my current top 3 are NVDA 7%, VALE, 6% and VRT also 6%. I do 10 to 12 stocks max in my stock portfolio, the others are less than these amounts as I am still buying/building the positions (or scaling out). Doing the math you’ll see that this will leave me with between 20 and 30% of cash to deploy when opportunities present themselves… also, I try not to concentrate in any given sector, so that I have diversification… I saw a poster earlier say y’all are one recession away from being really poor and diversification helps against that….. so does the cash (in a 30/60/90 day MM). Good luck. The goal is to make money so think about how to protect your gains! Good luck!

SameCategory546

i have SID too but I bought calls in VALE

stackin_neckbones

GGB and SID are my favorite picks to play iron but VALE is cool too

SameCategory546

if you didn’t like VALE below $10, you hate money!

crazybutthole

I like VALE

A55BAG

VALE launching?

flickodawrist

Index fun safest. I think this is a mineral play as much as oil in the background. This comes a day or two after China restricts silver. I’m looking at AMG, VALE, and a few others.

vegetto712

Some of my favs: MO, AGNC, F, VZ, VALE, KVUE Shout-out to the obvious ones like WMT and TGT

vegetto712

3 of my fav I don't think are talked about enough: ALM - Tungsten miner outside of China, and they have rights to a lot of mines worldwide. Tungsten is super critical and just last week he visited DC and I wouldn't be shocked if they get a contract in the next 6 months. I'm DCA $20 daily and will probably buy more leaps for 2027. VALE - Similar reason, but Vale has a lot of Cobalt byproduct and cobalt will be very useful if the AI bubble doesn't burst too quickly. Also the space market heavily relies on it! SMR/MIR - my nuclear play for this year, both are good bets and I'm also just DCA into them as options aren't great. SMR in particular has zero customers, but they're the only company with federal approval for US locations, so with power needs about to sky rocket due to AI they'll likely get a few in 2026. And right now it's only a couple bucks away from 52w low. It's going to get beat badly it they don't get a customer soon, but I believe in them long term so I'm investing quite a bit of my port to them.

On Stocks 2x sp500… Hit 40% on VALE by buying Jan 2025, still holding, pulled principal out last week and playing with house $. NVDA was nice, bought more under $90 thx to orange man and sold around $200… same thing, yank principal out and play with house money. ORCL… bought pre 2025 and sold (at height to get principal out). LLY… went big at $650 level and pulled principal out at 1K ATH level. Traded FCX after Indo mine flood… made ez 20% holding 4 less than a month. Had 1 spec loser too! LUCY… LOST 3K on a you know better friend says buy and I’m 3 sheets to the wind trade. Great year for sp500 stocks but glad it’s over. Oh, also made a nice 20% gain by holding FIG less than 40 minutes on ipo day.

i am rolling all Gold/Silver miners into Jan 2027. playing the earnings all year. the miners are trailing the commodities in price and valuation. this is my wifes portfolio, i manage it. all miners in ITM except VALE. currently Barrick(B) Pan American (PAAS) Coeur mining (CDE) Silver corp (SVM) and Teck (TECK). she insists i purchase more positions. (Calls) she is getting greedy.

AP9384629344432

$VALE had a great year (+61% YTD including dividends!) despite the sense of weakness in the iron ore markets. Thankfully, the iron ore price seems to have stabilized with a $100 floor recently. The longer term decarbonization trend for steel production would actually benefit them, as it requires a type of iron they produce. (So they are a hedge against the bear thesis for met coal) They also have a (smaller) exposure to copper/nickel, and at least copper is doing well while nickel is no longer crashing. Bear thesis: weak demand or global recession, oversupply triggered by the Simandou project in Guinea, another environmental disaster, or worsening of reparation payments. Bull thesis: Iron ore market continues to improve, delays in Simandou, nickel recovery, more cost efficiencies (they are some of the lowest cost producers!), multiple expansion if Brazil sentiment improves, still single digits P/E, negotiating better terms on reparations Position: $9.15 cost basis

VALE 🚀

vegetto712

Kinda why I'm focusing on Cobalt, just can't find a good ticker except for VALE and BHP

stockjocky

this my investment Theory for 2026 and options into 2027. i purchased Calls on Gold/Silver miners early in 2025. my positions are all Deep ITM. i will roll these Jan 1st (next week) to Jan 2027. this will allow me to play the Earnings season for all Cash rich Miners since the price of Gold/Silver has skyrocketed. not just earnings but Buyouts and Mergers. my holdings = Barrick(B) Pan American Silver (PAAS) Vale (VALE) Coeur Mining (CDE) and SilverCorp (SVM). i have one copper play Teck Res Limited (TECK) that i just bought a call on Dec 5th which is up 42%. does anyone think this gameplan makes sense? let me know.

A55BAG

I have VALE and copper miner ETF. But I'll change the ETF maybe later if I get a better idea.

stockjocky

in the past i have traded a Silver Etf (SLV). so i have watched Gold and Silver for several years. but when my wife wanted Gold and Silver long positions i told her it was like watching paint dry. i was very sure not much profit would be made. but i knew to go long (1 year expiration) on all calls. i planned to start with the big boys at the top (Barrick and Pan American). and a gold and silver etf (IAU, SLV). this was in febuary. as things progressed and the gold and silver went crazy she pushed for more positions. so i opened up 2 small miner positions (CDE, SVM) For her birthday i bought a position in VALE. today all the positions are deep in ITM or ATM. according to Schwab the portfolio is up 500% . we went from an account balance of $2500 ant the beginning of 2025 to $21,210 as of closing 12/19. i hope this makes sense. call it luck.

stockjocky

i have 5 miners and 3 Etf's in my portfolio. my portfolio is pure gold/silver Call Options. i started at the beginning of 2025 with SLV and Barrick (B). i also hold CDE, PAAS, SVM, VALE and IAU, SILJ. the most profitable option currently is my Barrick 5 contracts i bought in febuary. $35 strike Jan 2027 expiry. the 5 contracts cost basis $85. my profit is at 5123.67% and gold and silver keep rockin.

Anyone notice the insane bearish options premiums on VALE ? Dark pool says 334M ..

Humble_Explanation32

VALE is doing great, PBR, BBD, and they have a 10% dividend. Next year there are elections in Brazil, worst thing that can happen is that the same party stay in power, and if opposition wins i think is considered good for market. And is not like you are holding Reales, those stocks trade in the US market

A55BAG

yeah I own some mining and oil (VALE, PBR)

stranix13

VOOV, palladium (PALL, PLG), Nickel (VALE), WU, LMT, TLT, GLD (maybe more so for this one in a few months)

PM_ME_ROMAN_NUDES

I am Brasileiro and agree with him. Here I only invest in a few companies like PRIO3, WEGE4. Our Index have the two giants VALE3 and PETR4 being almost 10% of the index. If these two do well, like VALE3 did recently, the Index will inevitably go up I do think the american market and world etfs are much safer because we have some serious political and fiscal risk.

-PunsWithScissors-

$VALE is my largest current position, there are some bangers on the BMRORTESDMBBFGH$&DB… or whatever you call that exchange.

BermudopeHighangle

Peep the 5YR VALE chart and tell me you aren’t bullish rn

BermudopeHighangle

Snagged some VALE (nickel). Looks ready

LiberalAspergers

A put is an option contract granting someone elae ths right topurchase your shares at a particular price. So, hypotheically, if you thought VALE was overvalued, and owned 100 shares, you could sell a put expiring on 10/31at a strike of 11.50. This would currently get you .22 per share, or 22 dollars. In a week, if Vale is still above 11.50 a share (currently 11.54) your share would he sold at 11.50, netting you a total of 11.72 a share. If it had dropped below 11.50, you would keep the 0.22, and still own the shares. If you wanted to have less downside risk, you could instead sell the 11.00 strike for .08, netting you 11.58 a share, as long as it doesnt drop below 11.00.

Currently long MOH, VALE, LMT, and TGT. I just bought HAIN too.

BTW I own a lot of VALE, the div has been fluctuating but I’m up overall despite my shares being down about 4-5% over a year. Solid buy under $10. 

Voaracious

Covered call funds can generate a good dividend. JEPI is the famous one but there's others too. Think they're at 8 or 9%.  Brazilian stocks are cheap. But there's some political risk. VALE pays around 10%. I'm in PAGS which does about 9%. Plus they do stock buybacks on top of that.  I've said before here why I think VZ is good and safe. Pays around 6.5%. Write covered calls on it and earn even more.  Or you could always do bonds. Though with inflation looking foreboding maybe I'd hold off on that.  I like MO. I don't like PEP. 

I_am_Nerman

"*Massive exclusions*" are aircraft, energy and OJ. How is VALE doing this morning? One of the biggest companies in Brazil if you're not familiar with them. Brazil got the worst tariffs of all countries out there. Its so bad that the admin knows it will get challenged in court. That's why their reasoning for the tariffs are different than other countries and have a different start date. You're out of your depth here.

what strike and what date? I think VALE should at least 2-3x by 2027. Iron ore is bottoming

Blotter-fyi

haha my bad. I just saw their charts and liked them better. I have traded VALE back in 2021-2022 so it was a familiar name. Same with HPE. My bad for not clarifying.

VALE looks .. quite honestly, like a good buy. What am I missing? I'm considering buying 100 options, far out.

man_in_the_woods

VALE has a pretty big float but that’s ballsy to short a metals miner right now 😳

DrColours

OP says “I particularly like WIT KHC HPE and VALE” not sure why you are all getting upset at asking why he singled out THESE ones.

SameCategory546

that would be crazy. Iron ore is turning up and VALE is deep value and the Real is turning up. Even then, I’d be shocked if VALE had big pumps like OPEN or another meme stock

HelixCobra

I saw some dude say $VALE is next in the daily so naturally I bought FDs on it

I get that I was wondering why they specifically pointed out VALE HPE WIT and KHC from the list.

DrColours

Why do you like the tickers mentioned above? Any specific reason for HPE VALE etc?

Man WSB has come alive this week, it's been ages since we had this much action. RKT and VALE are my next pump plays.
