Yep, could be that, but let's get back on track on FMG before squabbles break out

You're new to the site, I don't want you to make the same mistakes that we newcomers to this forum made, myself included. Stick to the subject thread, and all will be well. Good luck, Bailx, and welcome to the forum
 
i wouldn’t read too much into it, it’s paid a $1.54 in dividend so that’s part of the drop, and iron ore has come off a bit which always causes the market to freak out a bit.

but if you are a long term holder just put your buy contracts in the bottom drawer and go enjoy that Valium or go to the movies, and let the business take care of itself.
 
Being Australia centric, the greater the spread, the safer the gamble.
As nickel has shown, materials are a fickle market.
I think the biggest lesson to take from nickel is that it’s best to be the low cost producer not the high cost marginal producer.

being the low cost producer is everything in mining, when it comes to Iron Ore FMG, BHP and Rio have low cost in the bag.

the iron ore price could halve and FMG would still be making money, all the marginal high cost producers, and even the scrap industry would have to begin winding down, which would then put a floor under the iron ore price and make it recover.
 
Third chart posted after the BHP and RIO. ones. For comparison for those interested.



Similar to the BHP chart in years 21, 22 but more like the RIO chart this year (24).

(1) Reversal setup formed by the high volume bullish bar although FMG much weaker than the market index XAO.

(2) First blue bar out of the corrective swing down. This one could only have been taken by a person bullish about FMG. Not for me here.

(3) First blue bar prior to the eventual BO-HR. At this time FMG was showing that it was stronger than the market index.
Routine BO-HR with relative strength doesn't get much better for a trade opp.

Currently FMG is showing some weakness relative to the XAO. Price near prior BO level.
 
The more I stare at the chart of Twiggy's opus , the more I see Santos , all over again . Be grateful there's no Alan Bond around with this one. STO didn't improve with him gone , either . It became a gift for short term traders and that is how I'll approach FMG for my next entry .
In. Make a quick buck. and out.
 
You can get lots of crazy ideas starring at charts.

Maybe take a look at the fundamentals, and its earning power over the last 5 years and see if it compares to Bonds.

I will gives you a hint, just in dividends alone, FMG has return over 100 times the amount investors originally put in to start the company, does that sound like anything Allan Bond did?
 
Couple of interesting tidbits out of FMG.

The new "you bewt" electric digger has just dug its 1 millionth ton of ore. Appears to be going well
The other "You bewt" big boys toy - the 240 ton battery electric haul truck is off and running.

FMG say that full decarbonisation using these machines will save 95Million liters of diesel a year.

 

UPDATE 1-Fortescue eyes developing its copper assets, not looking at Cobre Panama​


 
It sounds frightening.
 
Comparing Twiggy to Blondie
I actually read a book on Alan Bond last year (picked it up cheap at the salvos), he was a colourful character, but had the heart of a conman who hoped to cover his tracks through wild speculations he hoped paid off.

The is no real comparison to Twiggy.

 
Less employees, wages, super etc etc and more moolah for Twiggy as he obviously gets the elephants share with every divi
