Recession????? Not if the Current Fed Leadership Can Help ItRecessions and even depressions in the economic arena are always a possibility. However, the US Federal Reseve has made it abundantly clear that they will do anything to ward off an economic downturn. While a “ Black Swan” event can appear almost out of nowhere ( ie : 9/11, Kim in NK goes off his wheels, massive natural disaster, civil wars or major political upheavals, etc) and cause unforeseen havoc , the chances of a recession in the 12/24 mos appear quite slim. If anything, shortages of copper and related industrial materials will only increase in a growing economy. Barring a Black Swan, the future for MIN looks good for the short to medium term as well as the longer term. A smart investor regardless of outlook always has his ( her) money in a variety of ventures where something will always shine regardless of economic conditions.
