When I look at Freeport - McMoRan (FCX) I really get confused. Here is a company that always has good revenue, earnings and cash flow numbers plus an A+ financial strength rating but has performed like a dog lately. In the long run I think it might be a good buy but you need to be careful in how you play the stock.
Barchart technical indicators:
- Barchart uses technical indicators from 7 days to 6 month to determine the current price momentum of a stock
- Currently a 72% Barchart technical sell signal
- Trend Spotter hold trending to a sell
- Below its 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages
- 5.34% off its 1 month high
- 34.56% off its 1 year high
- Relative Strength Index 46.80%
- Barchart computes a technical support level at 36.14
- Recently traded at 37.58 with a 50 day moving average of 37.93
Summary: In the long run I agree with the optimism expressed by both the professional and individual investors about Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) , however I think you will be able to pick up some shares a little cheaper down the road. Right now commodity prices seem to be falling. I think if you use a 14 day turtle chart like the one provided by Barchart below you might be able to buy on a dip. If you do not like to watch the technical chart then I'd advise you to dollar cost average into this issue over the next 6 months
