When one finger points to steel, four point back to iron. RIO

Two words come to mind with Brazil's iron company, Vale: pricing power.

Like MOS, Vale enjoys significant pricing power for its iron.  A notable instance is the latest negotation by Vale to increase the price they charge China for iron ore by 65%.  And they're increasing output and export to China this year.  If they can increase their Big Mac from $1 to $1.65 and China wants to buy more of 'em, I like the game Vale is playing.

<> Iron, aluminum, and steel is the next growth play along with corn and soybeans to serve the growing economies of India and China.  As long as China<><><>...

Value estimate details:
Assuming the 2007 consensus EPS of $2.52 (from adr.com), a 10% year-over-year growth rate for five years (conservative), zero growth thereafter (also very conservative) and using a ...

The price of commodities/global growth is to continue to grow in China, India and other emerging markets.  They have already stoked high demand for commodities.  China's consumption of iron ore is one of the top reasons why the share price of Brazilian mining company Vale (RIO) more than doubled last year.  They are forcasted to increase Iron Ore prices by another 30%-60% in 2008.  The "second wave" of profits: This refers to the countries’ ability to keep driving their economies by increasing their internal consumer growth and demand. South America is stuffed with metals. And with commodit...
