Greetings with question at the end

And it's too early for beer....somewhere)

It's after 5pm somewhere in the world,,LOL
and copper did take a big hit on the London exchange when the stock market took a hit. I'm going to wait a week or two for it to regain it's strength.

I agree it doesn't make sense to sit on it and try to time the market but I was wondering if this steep drop was unusual because of current debt limit/downgrade of US credit rating thing and it would rebound.
