It comes down to simple fact.... a pound of boards is X price. We all know what that ultimate price is. If Someone is paying that X amount.... How are they making money? If someone is paying above that amount how are they making money? It's kind of like the Pawn Stars TV show when someone comes in with an ounce of gold and expects full price for it. Somehow someway somebody has to make money on it if they are going to stick around to be there for tomorrow. And if your life and income are expected to be provided by a business where the market is so volatile this might not be the business for you.
