Share tip of the week: a play on the flight to the cities

Paul Hill's tip of the week is a copper producer with a frugal cost base and solid funding, which should benefit from government stimulus packages around the world.

I've been warning investors not to get sucked into the dividend trap chasing high-yield stocks where the income is unsustainable. Many banks and home-builders have already cut payouts; I suspect tempting yields at BT and M&S are also vulnerable. As a rule of thumb in these credit-starved times, I would avoid firms that offer more than 7% returns, and have net debt greater than three times EBITDA.
