On CAPS, 98% of the 1,853 members who have rated Taseko believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include MLichens and All-Star TheLastYetti21, who is ranked in the top 15% of our community.

Less than two months ago, MLichens listed several of Taseko's positives: "Good cash flow, great investment strategy, and on to some interesting frontiers. Looking at the long term, buying this stock at under $6 is just a no-brainer."

In fact, Taseko currently sports a cheapish P/E of 8.7. That represents a discount to mining gorillas like BHP (13.9), Freeport (11), and Vale (9.1).

Just last month, TheLastYetti21 kindly updated Fools on Taseko's Prosperity project:

Prosperity is back on the agenda, the company is re-submitting the plan without destroying fish lake. I think good chance of approval, Canadian government would be silly to reject twice b/c of the huge economic benefits and the fact that it has in excess of 13mil ounces of that yellow metal that is in pretty high demand. In addition, the company appears undervalued without the mine presently, so I see it as a win win.
