Thats supposed to be a MOOOOOOOOOOO sound, but for NUE. Nucor steel. Picked up some calls in NUE at the close. I should’ve bought them earlier in the day. Steel was strong all day as was metals in general. Look at NXG!
I wanted in on MT, but I’ll wait for a pullback in that one. [...]

Two stocks that look good to me in the mining/gold sector are AUY and NXG. I bought some NXG today.
I like ADM on any weakness over the next few weeks.
QCOM still looks good.
ROST looks good intermediate to long term.
AMGN looks attractive.
