You might want to work on adjusting your business model to cope with this instead.

    Do yourself a favor and look at the historical copper chart for the last 30 years. There was a 15 year stretch where spot never broke over $1.50 per pound.
    Which brings up a good point, don't hoard anything you can't afford to. I Have procured a small bunch of cars and as it sits now won't have any need to sell for years. I reinvested upwards profit and bought right so selling will be a matter of when it's right.



    Anyone else notice the price of gas creeping up, might not have to hoard long.
