Companhia Vale Ads (NYSE:VALE)

Dollar will go down = commodities will go up. Its that simple.

near 52 wk low, excellent buy!!

Fundamentally I feel this company is well positioned but with decreasing fuel costs benefiting its' closer to China competitors and the inability to readjust rates to customers before 09 I feel this stock may have a bit farther to drop or at best underperform the market short term before regaining a sizable market lead in the next few years. I went in real money at 25 but would probably go in again at this price for the long run. i just don't expect much short term upside.

RIO baby!

Undervalued....Long term call here, China will gobble this up in the future

I don't have much of one. I trust CAPS not to let anything egregiously wrong through, and I want to have some solid, profitable commodities companies, and this one more than qualifies.

It's also at an awesome discount at the moment. I should probably hold off while the other foot drops, but ... would I buy it now? Yeah.

This is my first CAPS pick. Hehehe.

Near 52 week low. Buy this now and hold it for the next 10-20 years while billions of the worlds' people join the middle and upper class and consume these basic commodities at an incredible rate.

Buying into the panic.

Profitable companies stock sometimes deserves a look to. Sometimes they almost seem detrimental.

they are investing in earnings

Looks pretty darn cheap right now.

52 week low

RIO is an adult and mature resource company that have performed well and kept expenses in line. I believe they are underpriced at $40. per share...I would expect by mid 09 it will be at 50 a share.

All my best friends are metalheads

RIO has their income growiing at a great rate, and the company's value is well over the $26 its trading at now. The three year annualized return on this stock should be at 22%, and I think the market will realize this soon. The value of this stock right now is $45-50, in three years it should be at $75 or more.

Commodity speculation.

Trading pretty low, this one has potential.

i like this stock. i think it has bottomed out and will gain moment in the next few months. i bought 300 shares at 25.32 a few days ago. it has a big international market, it is a huge company, and like many metals companies, it was pretty beaten down.

MERGERS MAKE THIS COMPANY A MAJOR PLAYER AS THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS IS SMALL.. THE COMPANY HAS GREAT ASSETTS IN PLACE AND A GOOD MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT CAN PRODUCE THE PRODUCT. THERE ARE CONTRACTS GOING FORWARD AND READY ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR OPERATING EXPENSES. THERE WILL BE UPS AND DOWNS AND OVER TIME THE PRICES OF BUILDING COMMODITIES MUST MOVE UPWARD AS THE WORLDWIDE INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION AND REPLACEMENT CONTINUES AND INCREASES. THOSE WITH A SOLID POSITION IN PLACE MUST PROFIT IN THE LONG TERM. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE I CAN SEE IS A MAJOR REVOLUTION DRIVING INVESTMENT, BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT OUT OF BRAZIL WHICH IS NOT LIKELY ANYTIME SOON.
