Is everyone in here basically a fundamental trader? or are there any techs out there?
its a long term investment, and long term the outlook for teck's growth is awesome. i don't love the stock, i love what they are doing going forward, copper, coal, and oil in the coming years... 3 things that are, and will continue to be in high demand going forward, as well as being in limited supply - add to that a modest dividend, and i think yesterday's prices were a steal

as part of a diversified portfolio, having a large cap, commodity name, which has great continued growth prospects both organically and through acquisitions (look at their cash balance), especially one that pays dividends, is definitely a wise idea

and don't "buy and hold", but i buy and revaluate, and for hte next couple of years, as we continue with world economic growth, teck is, and will continue to be a good name to be in
