JPMorgan (JPM) Recommends Newmont (NEM), (FCX), (MUSA), (STLD), Others

JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM), says Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE:NEM), Metals USA Holdings Corp. (NYSE:MUSA), Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (NYSE:FCX) and Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:STLD) are solid picks if an investor believes oil prices will remain high.

Also noted were Thompson Creek Metals Co. (NYSE:TC), DHT Holdings Inc. (NYSE:DHT), Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:AMGN), Jabil Circuit Inc. (NYSE:JBL) and Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) as having a lot of potential in a high oil price environment.

Thomas Lee, chief U.S. equity strategist at JPMorgan said there’s “downside risk” to the 2011 S&P 500 earnings-per-share estimate of $97.50, though not to the 1,425 year-end forecast.

Lee said every $20-a-barrel rise in the price of oil has an impact of $2.22 in earnings per share for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

Stocks JPMorgan sees as those to avoid in this economic environment are Affymetrix Inc. (NASDAQ:AFFX), Standard Pacific Corp. (NYSE:SPF), MDC Holdings Inc. (NYSE:MDC) and Beazer Homes USA Inc. (NYSE:BZH).
