Hi Nick,
I was pretty sure we would get this question after the stellar week enjoyed by the copper stocks, thanks!
Pros: we feel good taking a profit, at least initially, and we “may” be able to re-enter lower.
Cons: we lose all/part of our exposure to one of core macro views, i.e. bullish copper.
SFR feels a touch rich around $13.50 but it did at $11.50 and $12.50 with the sell recommendations flowing. We continue to remain bullish copper and see no reason SFR won’t follow it higher. When it comes to selling, we’re not saying never but after waiting for so long for the resources to regain their mojo we don’t want to take profit too soon.
- We can see SFR making new highs into Christmas, but we are more likely sellers than buyers at this stage.
NB This week SFR did spike above $14 but it was a 3-minute anomaly, in 1-minute the stock surged from $13.55 to $14.30, demonstrating the risks of stops/buying at market when the index opens and stocks can be illiquid, often encountering air pockets when the see new highs/lows.
