Things will change after the election. Gas will go up. Interest rates will go up. Our economy will come to a screeching halt and crash again. No one knows what the next president will do so it's wait and see. I agree that China has pulled some fast ones with commodities and that the country was loaded with steel mills using US scrap steel until the Chinese government caused most of them to go under by messing with it's economy. I read that the tsunami in Japan also put a lot of the scrap metal in to circulation reducing the need for ours.
