Copper and the producers severely underperformed most commodities and the market this year before finding a floor in late July. COPX has rallied 32% off of its 52-week low. But it's up only 1.5% year to date and it's lost 9.27% over the past 12 months, while the MSCI World Index is ahead 14.4% and 20% over the same periods, according to Morningstar.
