n4807g, Thanks. Focusing on copper rather than lithium sounds like a good idea. Just curious if you are concentrating on the smaller copper players, for the acquisition angle, or the larger companies like BHP, RIO, etc? I see there are also some broad copper ETFs (COPX), and for the smaller caps there is COPJ, so some decent vehicles to choose from. Any companies that you see as especially attractive? Thanks :o)
