@FloowSwager In the end, I opted for the financially better-positioned company

I studied commodities very intensively 20 years ago, but was only ever able to explain the trends with hindsight (somewhat unfortunate for investing). That's why I stay away from commodities and mining stocks.

What I find problematic is that commodities are hyped every few years because demand foreseeably exceeds supply.
This is certainly true, but nothing new.
But whenever this argument is used to justify a purchase, I steer clear of it.

@GHF Thank you, it remains exciting. It is of course also interesting to what extent the shortage can be met by recycling copper. I have already read somewhere that 30% of demand can be covered by recycling
@GHF I find that exciting. Can you perhaps give one or two examples from your investment history where a supposed "no-brainer" investment was not so successful in the end? I would be very interested in that!

@DusselDuck cool for how long? What was your motivation?
profile image
@TimLie Only since March 2023
The reasons for investing in BHP included
- No withholding tax
- Diversification of the portfolio (Australia!)
- World market leader
- Dividend
- Historically quite good share price performance
(for a commodity company)
- "Favorable" valuation

$COPX, although I pretty much rather trade the commodity directly when that is the case

@market_analyst_466 cool what were your reasons for choosing the companies?

I wanted raw materials.
Rio Tinto
- favorable entry price, therefore good dividend yield
- the quantity of metals
- no withholding tax
- that was a while ago, but I think that it became $RIO and not $BHP due to the type of raw materials and planned or completed acquisitions, i.e. the type of business development

-The initial spark for the ETF Earth Exploration was a Saturday podcast by Alles auf Aktien

....aber I want dividends and the ETF accumulates
