    4 bucks isn't going to happen maybe 3.90. Hitting 4 bucks a lb for copper is like gas hitting 4 bucks a gallon nationwide. It going to fall like a rock if it hits that high consumers and industries will start to cut back on it or attempt to use a cheaper alternative. It just doesn't justify the four dollar price range at all.
