BHP and the FT today13 Feb 2021 10:36
I wish I had invested money in BHP and not SOLG last year! In reality, I suspect either BHP or another major will make a bid for SOLG but at what price? I still hold some shares here but sold 2/3 last week and put it into FCX so as to be able to sleep more soundly. The patient will eventually enjoy a return on their punt but this is no get rich quick investment.
"BHP has pulled ahead of Royal Dutch Shell to become the UK’s biggest company by market value, underscoring the contrasting fortunes of the mining and oil industries during the pandemic.
The miner’s stock price has surged 120 per cent from its March lows, driven by booming Chinese demand for the company’s most important commodity, iron ore. Its shares are up 25 per cent from a year ago and BHP’s market capitalisation now stands at £120bn."
