ZFX - Zinifex Limited

Just profit taking. And I think someone said the chart was looking gappy before, so the chances of it coming back down were high.
 
Was just on CNBC as the world's #1 fattest cash cow. Might be a great ramp. Bring in some foreign dollars for this one. Talking about a large upside still. I'll try and find it online somewhere for you guys.

Hey Chops, you find that article?...
 
Just sold mine today.

warehouse levels have been going up, I brought it because I thought zinc would run out soon, might be turning around now. But I'm just an amateur, could be wrong.

Indeed.
Nice timely announcement to arrest the slide. Sellers drying up again
Yep very good annoucement indeed. I don't understand the slide anyway except some profit taking as the zinc price is still going up :)
 
I am wondering what are the thought on how ZFX will perfom today. I am guessing not very well as zinc price went strongly down overnight :eek:
 
zinc stockpile going up appears to be pretty short term

if you look at the long term trends, it is well down, and i expect the drawdowns to continue early next year...its xmas time and drawdowns going down is not surprising
 
Ok let's say the price correction might be for the short term I guess the good news happened yesterday with the annoucement of ZFX getting involved in another mine :)
 
From Hot copper: another poster not me :) :) :) :) :2twocents


fundamentals continue to suggest that is just a very short term weakness

Market Analysis: Zinc

Market Briefing - December 7, 2006

Despite a dearth in new fundamental news, zinc prices continue to find support around $4,500/tonne. The reason behind this, as with the nickel market, remains the continued drawdown in stocks, currently down around 85,750 tonnes (Dec 5) having fallen 78% year-to-date, and at their lowest level since 1991. Following the loss of a third of LME stocks stored at the Singapore warehouse (falling to 9,800 from 15,300 tonnes reported a month ago), premiums there have crept higher to the $45-55/tonne range.

China�s galvanized output growth supports consumption
The latest ILZSG data shows that over the first nine months of the year world zinc consumption is up 4.3% year-on-year at 8.208m tonnes. As per usual, China remains by far the largest consumer at 2.304m tonnes, up 6.5% year-on-year. According to Antaike, domestic demand within China for high quality die-casting zinc alloy remains robust, due to continued support from the autocycle and automobile sectors, the latter seeing 25% growth over the first ten months of the year. In addition demand is also receiving support from strong growth in China�s battery sector. The organization reports a 43% year-on-year rise in the China�s output of galvanized sheet over the first eight months of the year, and it seems likely production will exceed 10m tonnes this year. With this in mind, Antaike is forecasting a 9.7% year-on-year increase to China�s zinc consumption this year to 3.38m tonnes.
 
Well, for better or worse I (my super fund that is) hopped aboard ZFX today for the first time at 16.82.. Wish me luck, hoping only a short term downturn and up again on Monday..

This could be a good move as a lot of people seems to think this very short term correction. Also US job data overnight should set the trend :)
 
Breaking $17 was untidy, but give it a little bit of width on this pull back. $17 (ish) might still be support. This could be a chance to pick it up. Support also at the next 2 downward dollar marks.

Read a few reports about Zn today and all say short term correction, medium term bull into next year. Maybe pull back late 07. But, what do analysts know?

Just darn wish I had have been on Zinc and Nickel 3 years ago!!

One the bull side the stronger for longer case has not been discounted. The Dragon and the....what's India?...the Ganesh?...might just keep demand pumping for another 20 years....
