Press Release Summary: Savvy Fund Chiefs at Portway Capital must be beaming after
holding their nerve and maintaining their positive stance on Copper during an
uncharacteristic spell of benign activity for the base metal commodity.

Press Release Body: Whilst analysts at many firms adjusted their opinions of base
metals (including copper) downwards following the recent sell-offs seen in stocks of
the big Energy, Coal and Steel firms and apparent resolutions to labor unrest at
mines in South and Central America, Portway Capital had the conviction to ride the
storm.

A source within Portway Capital stated "For an economically sensitive metal like
copper to be holding its ground in an economic downturn such as the one we are
currently experiencing is no mean feet. Portway Capital had faith in their
fundamental analysis and it has paid off."

Copper has recently moved back toward the all-time highs for the metal, and although
copper stocks (i.e. copper miners) have been relatively dormant relative to the
headline commodity-related stocks, Portway Capital believe that The overall look for
the commodity is bullish, and that uptrend should drag the copper mining names along
to the upside; "The mining stocks have looked pretty lame since June now, but they
have edged over some interesting support levels now and in some cases it may be time
to take a long position", said the source from Portway Capital.
