Here are a couple to look at: PCU, PD, CUP, CYOO.ob. Many of the big mining companies also produce copper. You might want to look at the following portfolio. It has a bunch of different mining companies:

Copper is a commodity. How much time do you have to invest in this activity. Search for an ETF in metals rather than a specific company. Spread the risk.

There are many and all are overpriced right now. With the speculation going on in copper, you won't find any bargains. Since there is no valid and long-term reason for the extraordinary run-up in copper, it is not likely to keep going up. Watch for a crash on copper prices.

I think PCU ( Southern Copper) is one of the best in the sector...watch it for awhile ..buy on any good dip in share price...the developing nations are still building like crazy...the demand will continue. Even if share price levels off, they pay a beautiful dividend ...it's like making 10+% ..bad times as well as good!

Phelps Dodge, I think the ticker is PD.
Its a good company, do some DD on it, the financial position is good.
