Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Adam Haigh]

  BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP), the biggest mining company, slipped 1 percent in Sydney as metal futures headed for a weekly decline. Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd., which has the worlds largest merchant shipping fleet, fell 3.5 percent after a gauge of freight rates halted an eight-day rally. Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., the worlds No. 2 developer by market value, dropped 1.4 percent in Hong Kong after setting a lower sales target this year.

  If a downturn does ensue, income, value and growth investors should take that event as an opportunity to buy stocks in the natural resource sector; stocks such as BP PLC (NYSE:! BP), BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) and others at a discount for long term gains.

• [By Tyler Crowe]

  Right now, there are several Australian assets up for grabs because mining giants Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO  ) and BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP  ) are both looking to shed their coal assets. This could be an opportune time for a company like Peabody to strengthen its international presence or a competitor like Alpha Natural Resources to trade up from its Central Appalachian assets and expand outside the U.S.

• [By Joshua Bondy]

  When compared to other big iron ore producers like BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP  ) and Vale (NYSE: VALE  ) , Cliffs Natural Resources clearly faces margin pressure. This means that during the coming years of increased iron ore oversupply and decreased Chinese steel demand, Cliffs Natural Resources will have less power at its disposal to improve operations and maintain margins.
