The price of iron ore has risen by several dollars since my purchase. Today, the USD price per metric ton rose 6.65 or 6.79% to 104.54. That is still a long way from the $148 price prevailing in April-May 2012. Given the ongoing disputes with Brazil on taxation and royalties, Vale could easily have a surprise on any given day. <br /><br />I had a modest goal of selling VALE at over $20 after collecting one dividend. I would forgo that dividend, which goes ex in October, with a pop over $21.<br /><br />I would prefer to own the ETF PICK provided I can buy it below $19. It was up $1.75 in trading to day to close at 22.6. I almost got a fill at $18.75 last week.
