If we are to look at the price action in resource stocks over a 5 year period we would find a market which has lost more than 50% (using the SPDR Global Natural Resource ETF), and over the final drive lower (since summer 2014). It has been on an elongated slide with moments where it looked like things were turning.
Specifically last year in October, when this suffering sector started hinting that it may have found a bottom only to be lambasted by a face planting and another 20% drubbing. These kind of moves are meant to exhaust investors and shake out everyone who enters the Thunderdome, we call the global resource sector. Stocks in this sector are in their most critical year and signs of turning are in the eye of the beholder. I believe it is an important time to be meeting with companies in this sector and look forward to meeting a few over the next quarter. Below is a group we are focusing on:
