UBS Investment Research advises investors to accumulate metals and mining stocks, but also to take their time accumulating, "using the inherent volatility of the market to maximize the risk/reward of their investment." Analysts Julien Garran, Tom Price and Edel Tully said, "Our preferred commodities over the short- to medium-term are thermal coal, copper, zinc and gold. We still like copper and met-coal longer-term." UBS' top equity picks include BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Teck Resources, Sterlite, Newmont, Barrick, Alumina Ltd., Riversdale, Consol Energy and Andro Energy.
