    When scrap hit bottom years ago we were lucky enough to have the room in the back to stockpile and stock pile we did.
    Steel got parked, while copper and brass were stripped and stored. When copper went over the top at 3.00 we sold. The scrap yard we struck the deal with, deals in cash and they did dump every 55 drum we brought looking for trash and mis sorted. They didn't find anything and we moved 32 55gallon barrels of copper, and 41 55gallon barrels of brass. I thought we would need one of the 55 gallon barrels to hold the cash....
    Stockpile, stockpile, stockpile and sell on the high swing of the market.
    Just my 2 cents
