What about Festivus for the rest of us?

Phelps Dodge (PD)

I like PD best because I ran all 200 stocks through my quick & dirty ranking system, and it rated the highest.

Check it out: P/E is 13.7 with a fwd. P/E of a measly 7.7. Its ROE is a very robust 30.6%. Quarterly Y-O-Y rev. growth is 58.7%, and quarterly Y-O-Y earnings growth is a huge 142.6%!

At last report only 3.6% of the float was shorted because everyone knows that when a stock this good is this cheap the chances of her depreciating are slim.

Therefore, Rob chooses:

PD

Wow..that sounds a lot like a $$$MR. MARKET$$$ write up.

Since mid-November 2006 PD is in play as an acquisition target. The deal goes away, you probably instantly lose about 16% in share price ($120 -> $100).

... in which case the P/E would drop to about 11. Nevertheless, you make a valid point, Park. That's one of the drawbacks of using a "quick & dirty" ranking system that only crunches numbers: it omits news stories as well as events looming on the horizon.

So if one doesn't care to accept the risk of the PD acquisition falling through, the 2nd-highest ranked stock out of the 200 in the dump is Teck Cominco (TCK). You get all this for a multiple of <10:

I bought PD a year ago (11/15/05) @ 63.78 and sold a couple of weeks ago (11/20/06) when the acquisition was announced @121.28. Now I call that a PD (pretty double)!! A great company!

River,
That was a beautiful play and the timing was great because the housing and copper markets were in much better shape and demand was up. Right now I wouldn't buy it if someone gave me the money. Taking a look at the daily there is a great big gap up that is just begging to be filled and with such a large capacity for profit taking underneath it right here it looks to be a great shorting opportunity right now. On top of that if the economy and housing goes south for any reason the demand for copper will plunge and so will PD. Looks to be on the way down today. Nice entry and exit on your part.

Mr. Market,

Just listen to me. Buy WNR. Sell all of your other holdings, and put it all into WNR. Buy WNR, and buy it now. There is none better on the whole list. WNR is the one you want.... WNR!!!!!

Tim, back in November/December 2005 commodities & metals, especially gold and copper, were hot. You can find lots of archived articles about this. I checked IBD archives because I still am on the free weeks and there it is. If you look at a monthly chart of PD, you will see that it was on a spectacular uptrend (that didn't quit). It was a no-brainer to buy in at that time.

I had PD in my Motley Fool CAPS Portfolio. I "sold" it when the announcement was made, then bought the company who was acquiring them, FCX. Do you have an opinion on FCX?
