The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) Helps the Dow (.DJI) Shrug Off Economic Data

Outside the Dow, Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc (USA) (NYSE:TC) continues its recent tear on the market, surging almost 5% today. Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc (USA) (NYSE:TC) is up roughly 30% over the last month after reporting a solid second quarter and processing its initial haul of gold and copper from its Mt. Milligan mine — full production will start next quarter. You could call my Foolish colleague Sean Williams biased, but you also have to admit that his prediction for the best stock to buy in August was dead on. The stock took a beating after the Mt. Milligan mine project was delayed and exceeded cost predictions. Fast-forward to today, as Mt. Milligan begins to pump out gold and copper, and the stock price should be poised to continue its recent surge.
