26
Materials BHP: Levered to China, fairly valued in an uncertain market = sell JOYG: Similar to BHP. Repurchase if the stock falls to $55 or below. Expect the stock to fall no further than the upper $40s. I would highly recommend a repurchase. NG: Will need to raise funds by issuing stock. We can repurchase after the secondary if we so desire.
