the silver joke

nope oil is going up, so the mines cut production accordingly because of increased production costs, so another factor to push prices up, higher fuel prices push the prices of commodities up

id love to buy a couple tons of copper at $2.50 thats another nice short term play

Thanks I always wanted to know one of the oil price connections to cost of these metals
If I am going to take advantage of my copper I need a new job or my old career to come back stronger & since I find consistent amounts of Brass and Copper ( & AL SS SHORT MIX ) I am already holding some commodities compared to 4 years ago. I have learned how to negotiate a dumpster like a kid on a jungle gym .
so the flow of product is there.

My scrap money should only be used for my retirement via creating a commodities wealth base, I see now thats possible as metal can buy metal, sale value = purchase value regardless of market swings. . As of now it hurts with a tinge of sadness when my scrap keeps being used for bills as I see my future commodities wealth not growing fast enough when it really should.

MAYBE I need to join as a true member to have access to info to take me to the next level
I need $1200 to $1400 per week as a metal only business Heck I know metal well enough I can weigh by feel ,figure prices and weight fast .If SMF has real info only to be learned as a paying member it must be my time .
