MM has been a big fan of OZL since we felt a reflation theme was the way to play equities through 2020 / 2021. We simply believe it’s the best quality stock in the copper space and after its recent 14% pullback the risk / reward looks good.

Aristocrat (ALL) has also been on our radar following its 19% pullback from Novembers high. Unlike CTD we think ALL may have already reached its pullback target area and be a buy now.
