Chinese output data on Thursday, a day after very strong
import numbers, showed domestic copper production rising 16.2
percent in the first two months of the year, to 702,000 tonnes.

I like higher trading volume and lower PE stocks
Do you know why FCX has a low P/E?
Usually, higher P/E reflect higher expected growth. Growth investors like higher PE and got to take higher risk too. Value Investors would feel the high PE ratio as over priced . GOLD is a much smaller company but got very high growth perspective by investors.

What do you think ectopic ? You pick Value or Growth ?
I pick price direction and volatiltiy for capital gains, so I guess growth.
We can also compare city group with goldman sach
C is no PE , stock price $4; GS PE 7.84 stock price $173
Traders all pick C because they want fast capital gain. That's reason why C is the most active stock in the US market. I'll pick some C for day trading tomorrow.
