Certainly for the short-term, metals prices are propping the mining shares up. They're trading above the value of their earnings but investors are focused on the underlying commodities movements.

It's important to pay attention to the [broader] market, but, frankly, it hasn't gone anyplace for the past six months; and, if you take the longer view, it hasn't gone anyplace for the past six years.

Futures are not for everyone, but with major stock indexes flat to down over the past five-year period, even buy-and-hold equity strategies have risks. With the recent activity in foreign exchange rates and commodities such as oil and metals, we anticipate even more investors will look at futures in the coming year.

The economic background to metals is therefore supportive, but metals also have the additional price driver of extensive activity by investment funds. Ongoing investment into commodities by broad-based global funds remains very strong.
