    This is one of my biggest stress levels that never seems to go away unless the market is on the up and up....hardly ever....we all know there is that HUGE drop thats going to slap us RIGHT after we get that large pickup....But thats the risks the yards take...and some you all may or may not know that all of us yard owners know all to well.

    The 3rd largest yard north of me just got stomped on a copper buy and the recent price drop, I know the owner well. He dropped what he is paying for copper big time. He did not look well when I talked about the market with him. Hate to think what a 24 hrs would be like after that realization. I just try to keep it moving as fast as I can.
