Copper prices

To each his own but I move product constantly and hope the law of averages works in my favor.

You will not see copper go much higher than it is now. Perhaps a few cents either way but that freakshow we had a couple weeks ago was just that...a freakshow. There is nothing in the market that would indicate copper rising much more. I'm sorry to say it but we are in a funk for awhile.

I give my wife alot of the smaller copper pieces from low grade boards etc..........She has like 4 five gallon buckets full of it.....LOL.........Me I just turn it in like once or twice a week

personally i sell when my buckets get full.

many people buy and hold onto commodities, such as gold and silver. why not hold onto copper as a commodity?

I used to hold but the market can burn you badly and so now I process and sell. Nothing stays in inventory longer than 48 hours. Sometimes I lose a nickle and sometimes I make a nickle. In the end though I seem to come out ahead doing that.

Agreed. Same thing here. Not to mention that I can't predict the market. At least not this year. I used to hold longer than I do now because the nearest nonferous yard was a 33 mile round trip. I now have one just a mile from the house so I take stuff in on a regular basis.
