On CAPS, 97% of the 6,014 members who have rated Freeport believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.   

Earlier this month, one of those bulls, Skepikl, tapped Freeport as a particularly solid bargain opportunity:
Bouncing about its 52 week low. The recovery now underway could spell improving copper prices for this miner. VERY attractive P/E and [dividend yield] on paper may not be the going forward metrics, but offers some prospects of downside support.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Freeport may not be your top choice.
