    With much of our scrap yards selling over seas the pooch is busy still .
    When you put things in perspective , even with prices down with some diligence
    the money is there .
    As I saw prices plummet I feel that could be a future truth , When over seas has no need
    of our scrap . We will be done . Scrap yard workers have lost 1/2 there hours .
    As one worker told me he used to put 80 hrs now he is at 40 hrs .

    We need realize yes the market should rebound somewhat BUT
    there may come a day & it will be called " That Day "



    I heard on a talk radio station - China is buying massive drums of crude Oil from Iran cause price are low
    well one must figure now is a buyers market for scrap also . Makes me wonder if this is purposely occurring
    for those who buy our product overseas.
