I see base metals up strong over the last couple days. Copper spot has risen nicely from $3.45 to $3.60. Aluminum is at 92 cents. I am liking this.

According to Bloomburg there is currently a copper shortage and they expect prices to rise next year. Here is the link to the story: Copper Shortage Seen Extending as China Accelerates: Commodities - Bloomberg

Hopefully it will rise. I am sitting on about 800 lbs right now waiting for it to go up. I will probably dump it all when I can get $3 a lb for #2. Right now it is about $2.50 a lb.
|
That's my goal. I have a local buyer who will contact me when he'll offer $3/lb.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Paragon Reports just came out in agreement, as did Barclays. Usually I sell whenever I have enough to move the scale, but for now I plan to hoard for a while, see what happens over the next 2-3-4 months.

Wow!

Would expect prices to start rising at they yards in Jan or Feb maybe even March. First they have to recoup from the lack the past couple months

copper was up to 3.63 for awhile today but closed at 3.60
|
God, every year they say the same thing. We are going to $4.00 a pound or more. Its not going to happen. We will get to around $3.85 or so and then the speculators will take profits and tank the market.

These are yard prices i believe.Aluminum @ .92/lb. ???
For the scrapyard or the scrapper?
I'm confused because I was just looking at scrapmonster (for first time),
and either I've been getting ripped off bad on brass OR it's quoting what the yard gets (???):confused:
I just told a guy his brass should be about 1.70-1.75/ lb. wherever around here.
Thanks.
