    Steel dropped to $80.00 GT at my yard today

    Copper dropped 20 cents a lb across the board. AL seems to be the only thing staying steady. Not sure whats going on!

    I stopped scrapping at 4 1/2 cents per pound. Today the price is down to 2 cents a pound.
« I wonder how this will affect the scrappers in this area | possible good news for gold?? »
