“Then it was Freeport-McMoRan, that’s the copper miner. Copper’s been a loser for years, but periodically, the Chinese order tons of it, or we buy it in bulk for the data centers. I don’t want to own Freeport, even as copper is up 25% for the year. Freeport is a trading vehicle, and we don’t do that around here, but it certainly demonstrates the diversity of this top 10 list.”
