On today’s STOP TRADING segment on CNBC, Jim Cramer said you need to lay back and look at the smaller sub-$5 Billion stocks in the metals sector since it looks like the huge mergers in thr group may have happened.  Two names he gave were Teck Cominco Ltd. (NYSE:TCK) and Lundin Mining (NYSE:LMC).  Lundin was one of those lesser known and lesser followed metals stocks we reviewed in May as an overlooked metals stock when shares were at $12.70 or so.  He still maintains that Alcoa (NYSE:AA) will not be a public company next year, despite the 3% drop today on word that BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP) is not going to acquire it.
