Rio Tinto Share Discussion Threads

Long analysis of the big four miners in the Tempus column in The Times today.

Positive throughout on Rio (by and large).

Obviously cannot paste the whole piece (for copyright reasons), but here's the conclusion:

__________________

With Rio and BHP the picture is less binary. If China goes off the rails in the second half, they will suffer, but not as badly as Anglo and Glencore. In the longer run there is reason to be relatively cheerful. BHP is slowly regaining some certainty over its Samarco liabilities and will begin to reap the rewards of the simplification represented by its spin-off of South32. Rio, under Jean-Sébastien Jacques, its new boss, has years of cheap expansion in iron ore ahead of it and the chance of boosting its copper output.

MY (Tempus) ADVICE: There will be wobbles aplenty, but for those with time horizons that extend beyond a year, there are worse places to look than Rio and BHP. Of the two, Rio is marginally the better bet

That's great news, Robrah, though please do, in your case, continue with any information which may be enlightening to thoughtful and serious investors.

appreciate what you are saying graham. I will stop now. I only post to challenge the mind less ramping and broker note distribution on both threads as of 2252 Friday. I will ignore and not respond to christh .

fmg mining ore at 12 dollars per tonn big deal.

[christh] 12/8/2016 22:10

Rio's now mining iron ore for $14.30 a tonne
Iron ore price soars past $61 per tonne to fresh 3-month high

May I respectfully request that you two (christh and Robrah) avoid copying the same posts on to both RIO threads. It's very time consuming - not to say boring, crowding out what sensible discussion there used to be on this thread in particular. The occasional posting of interesting articles/research may be helpful, but continual multiple posts (some of which are unfounded speculation or rebuttal) is pointless to the more serious posters on here.

Many thanks.

P.S

I do expect a recovery today to £24.90-£24.95.

Totally unjustified, company is trading very strong , momentum strong and the trend is up.

Hopefully next week will be close to £26 pending of course US trading upwards.

pure comedy:

one of the worst performing stock on ftse. clear and consistently Christ's ramping failed . still surprised he makes these silly calls any way christ please do some research I.e good searches of more failed broker report and recshave a good and busy weekend

[jdb2005] 12/8/2016 16:04

Shorters realise both US & UK markets will have higher finishes - would not hold any shorts over weekend !!

[christh] 12/8/2016 16:00

Robrah 12 Aug'16 - 15:57 - 821 of 821

Why don't you have a party?

So it went down`...it's a buying opportunity if box clever!

Still my target is £26 short term and £31 after that like the brokers targets.

[robrah] 12/8/2016 15:58

christh set a target today of 24. 90 . hope no one went long on his advice. if you did . one only has ones self to blame

[robrah] 12/8/2016 15:57

hope christh is watching . when make claims like 24. 90 by close of play today he must have been high

[arja] 12/8/2016 15:35

looking at chart it seems that RIO will go to about £23 before £26 is hit in next month or so as still appears to be in a short term uptrend . This scare over the possible tax rise will blow over soon and may not even eventuate .
nice weekend all .

[robrah] 12/8/2016 15:13

nicely down 3% on the day . hmm today christh had a target of 24. 90 much like his broker target . not realistic.

[jdb2005] 12/8/2016 14:55

RIO is now 2.1% lower than BLT

Traders have tried to take it down to 2400 but each time buyers have come in.

[robrah] 12/8/2016 13:50

24. 90 lol no chance . More below 24 at best

[robrah] 12/8/2016 13:49

If I had a 10quid for everything u expect this to go up I would be a millionaire. Unfortunately neither has this gone up and nor am I a millionaire Christh has a new bible (broker a price target) he lives by it. Lol plus no pun intended

[robrah] 12/8/2016 13:46

Christ Oh yes if you had put in the bank 40 quid it would have fallen to 16 quid is that right . Lol Come admit it . You got it wrong and then it had to turn in to a long term investment .

[christh] 12/8/2016 13:35

12 Brokers say is a STRONG BUY
