BHP Billiton plc (ADR) (BBL)’s Potential

Although BHP Billiton’s ongoing restructuring plan is making huge strides in the right direction, I believe the firm still represents a risky pick for investors. Much work still has to be accomplished to improve the shape of the company and cut costs to respectable levels, in my opinion, while still-volatile commodity prices continue to cloud the miner’s earnings outlook. I believe BHP’s projected dividend yields can be achieved elsewhere and with less risk attached.
