    That is my theory Mike. Every day I strip a little bit and put it in my copper stash, soon the prices will climb again.

    I figure the numbers for current market and then the numbers for what I expect the market to be in the near future.

    Some may say,"But what if the price stays this way for a longer time ?" It will just work in my favor! The longer it takes for the market to get to where I want I will have had that much more time to save it up! But then again I am looking at my copper a like a savings account !
