BHP is looking very strong financially and is well placed to ride out the recession. They have no debt, and a great history of profitability (5-yr average RoA 19%, avg net margin 25%). This year's profit won't be as good as last year's record, of course, but BHP is in much better shape than its competition to not only survive the recession, but to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that might arise while the competition is struggling to service their debts. When the economy recovers, BHP will emerge significantly stronger relative to its competitors.

6 Metal Stocks That Shine Brighter Than Gold
BHP
-9.78%
in
534 days
By Jason Simpkins When it comes to the worldwide metals market, gold may get all of the attention but other, more durable, metals such as steel and iron have proved to be much more profitable. For instance, the price of gold is actually down 2% from mid-January, but steel prices are 50% higher.

I love this company. I'm betting that some big caps like BHP are going to merge with other ones or split into mini big core commodity plays to achieve better synergies with uptick in individual commodities.
Anyway, commodities will take a breather in the second half of 2008 (read after Beijing Olympics) and perhaps into first quarter 2009, then regain their upswing for another long bull.
You could wait till the second half to get better deals with companies like BHP but in either case you can't go wrong with best of breed companies.

So the cat's out of the bag as far as energy and raw materials being the hot thing to own. BHP enjoy the vast plains of australia to dig away in and have mining operations all over the world. The company grows through M&A and have delivered outstanding performance over time, always better than the sector or the competition.
Add to that insistent roomers that China is trying to buy into the company and what you get is a traders heaven..
enjoy.

Is it Katrina all over again? Or is it bigger? Much bigger? That's what I am thinking about this Chinese earthquake.
