dowmike + 37 ML April 18, 2018 Not sure if anyone's paying attention but 2 aluminum producers looking amazing. Alcoa and Century Aluminum. Bought in the morning. They've been soaring on tariffs and Russia sanctions that took giant Rusal out of play. And Alcoa's earnings are today after the bell ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TraderTate + 186 TS April 18, 2018 Got in on both of these this morning. Alcoa gained 4.45% so far today; Century Aluminum, 1.76% I expect them to drop a bit right before close, though. That seems to be the pattern, and then they'll pick up again in the morning, assuming AA's earnings come in at least as expected. Assuming they meeting expectations, they only thing investors are looking at right now is whether the rally should continue because the market is tightening and there is still uncertainty over sanctions (good in this case).

Carlsbad + 19 CB April 18, 2018 so how is this going to play out? seems like there's going to be a supply bottleneck? maybe not, maybe just a redirecting of product.

See lots of product started to come from Canada and Australia post-tariff (since both are exempt). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cryptocurator + 17 AN April 19, 2018 haven't had a chance to look over AA's earnings, but must have been good. Century's earnings call is May 3, after-hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TraderTate + 186 TS April 27, 2018 both Alcoa and Century are still down big time. Guess the action is over. Waiting on another wild Trump tweet so I can get out quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TraderTate + 186 TS May 3, 2018 Yes. Wish I had known that before I bet on aluminum. Shame on me for trading tweets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
