    i'm hearing rumors that steel will keep slipping up for another couple of weeks... lets hope it holds...

    Basically mills cannot get the volume they want to see so they are slipping prices up a little at a time, sell or hold at your risk, because when they like the volume, prices will slip back down then hold

    $0.053 here per pound yesterday. Better than nothing, I guess.
    95 pounds of Aluminum made the trip worthwhile.
