Over on CAPS, all 123 All-Star members who have rated Thompson Creek believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include gschuetter00 and nekcohde, both of whom are ranked in the top 20% of our community.
Late last month, gschuetter00 listed several of the stock's positives for us Fools: "small cap growth with strong balance sheet, profitable with [molybdenum] prices at or above $9, supply destruction, pricey for new competition to get into industry, Obama infrastructure play."
In a pitch from one week earlier, nekcohde also taps Thompson as an ideal way to get in on infrastructure:
If Pres Obama wants his legacy to be bridges that do not collapse, he will be a [molybdenum] purchaser. Some of their cash poor competition is folding their doors due to low spot price. [Thompson Creek] has much cash and a low proven [molybdenum]/Market cap ratio versus competitors.
