Scrap yard zinged me also this AM. Communication wire dropped to $.35/lb and power cords went to $.85/lb. Aluminum dropped to $.45 and #2 copper is at $2.35. Batteries are at $.15/lb. Thank god this isn't my full time job... or even a major source of my second income. This would really be bothering me if it were!

Himmmmm..... I am still higher then these prices. Perhaps its time to review my pricing? ;)

something stinks here. There is no economic indicators, NONE, that indicate or dictate a drop in silver or gold, silver can be manupulated by large speculators like the Hunt brothers did in the 80s and Morgan stanly tried to do a few month ago. a few billion can manipulate the silver market. but it takes trillions to manipulate the Gold market. On the other hand, those trillions missing from the U.S. economy, hmmmm maby we found a clue as to where they went . Might be time to start hoarding rice, beans and ammo instead of scrap. Just my .02

I am guessing the problems gold are facing right now is some investors cashing in profits. The prices jumped so dramatically that people are making millions right now selling. Of course it would be just like the government to skim some money and play the market. ;0
