Companhia Vale Ads (NYSE:VALE)

Balance sheet looks good. They are making money. They have the cash to ease the debt.

Their revenue has fallen off sharply with the global economy but they are still making money and seem solid. Brazil has a lot of growth potential and Vale will continue to provide them with the materials to make that happen. This is a good stock on the cheap.

When the economy turns around watch out this baby will pop.

great management team

Power and raw materials keeping the world running. In a recovery this stock makes it happen where it can happen the fastest.

The negative sentiment due to Chinalco investment will pass soon. Stock price has over corrected to the down side and now should rebound as copper makes gains along with gold due to indicated inflation due to cheap dollars.

Lots of cash in market hands, looking foir next good place to park it...for a while.

Price may drop a bit more, but mostly due to mood on the street. Diverse, strong, and ready for big "bailout" projects, followed by improving economy, and more growth...

Huge Silver Brazil Play. Oversold by hedge funds.

increasing earnings,low debt to equity.beaten down price.TIME to buy it again!

Vale is a producer and exporter of iron ore and pellets. The Company also produces nickel, copper, manganese, ferroalloys, bauxite, precious metals, cobalt, kaolin, potash and other products. These are items that will always be required and Vale is a major player. Now at a fraction of its height, but already on the return path. Buy now. :-)

Base materials will come back. Those with existing large mines will have a big advantage. RIO and BHP will do very well.

I like this stock long term. Especially how it can work as both your Brazil and China (need for resources) play

Short term may be some downside , I would buy on weakness. Anything -12 is a strong buy for me.

Great cyclical stock to have when the economy recovers and commodities rebound.

Is one of the lowest cost in producing mining process. Very good turn around and supported by a large base of row material.

Commodities will be shooting back up by the end of 09'. Going long on this one.

Cheap commodity play with extreme strong market positions.
prefer the preference for their discount

I want to own this long term. Buying.

I have been observing this stock and I think it will do very well in the futere.

Aggressive company, which capable management and excellent properties, in politically stable locations. Could still buy Xstrata -- now for a third of the previously-projected price. Iron & steel, which the world will need, and a lot more, for a bargain price. Back up the truck.
