<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4652181, member: 26302&quot;]I thought my dad was dumb when I was a kid, but then thought about it and realized how brilliant it was. He speculated in copper, but in a perfectly usable form. He would buy a semi-load or two of copper romex when copper got cheap. It didn&#039;t need any special connections. He went to Menards when copper romex was less than $10 for 14/2, and below $12 for 12/2, (not on sale). He would arrange with the desk to order a truck of each, and he bought a couple of old trailers to store them on. Then he hauled them to his old farm and park them until prices rose. Now, he was lucky being an electrician, he would always have a market for it if needed and could use it up on jobs, but most of the time something happened, prices spiked, and he would sell it off for triple or higher value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Isn&#039;t it amazing how much smarter your dad gets the older YOU get? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I also remember pallets of half inch and 3/4 inch pipes in his old storage building at the same times. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
