A differant story copper I worked in a plant where we made copper, brass, from making the melt to producing up to 22, 000lb coils like you see on semi trucks . they were custom made to a customers request from a full bar to narrow strips. Of course you have a lot of scrap that has been sheared off, then taken to be remelted again we had a inventory every 6 months, the numbers on copper did not add up, so they put some hidden cameras around out side there was a tractor driver on his lunch hour using a fork lift , placing copper sheets 4ft long 32in. wide in the lift on the back of a garbage truck that just happen to be there same time same location every time they caught this on tape and when he walked out the gate the police were waiting for him THIS PART I DONT UNDERSTAND LOL WHILE THEY HAD HIM IN A ROOM NOT A CELL TO BE QUESTIONED HE PULLED OUT A POCKET KNIVE AND STARTED STABBING HIMSELF now how did he have the knive , wasnt he searched before getting arrested ? never heard what happen to him, but I know the copper was worth $$$$$$$$$$$$$ people will try anything
Incompetence, doesn't surprise me. I guess the officers though they were dealing with a white collared crime, not an armed thug.
You have to draw the line someplace. When silver was still below $10, my analysis of the situation led me to conclued that $20 would probably be the minimum future price for silver [and got a lot of pushback for it], so I bought up to that level. Even though I believe silver can go MUCH higher, $20 is a level that I believe will provide a significant margin of safety for purchases.
Well, you definitely were right about that. Sure is hard to know where to draw that moving line. (Goes without saying, but sometimes worth repeating)
Ooh- I like riddles and I think I've got this one: They'll both be worthless, unless you can find someone with food/medicine/ammo/labor that's willing to trade for them.
By that reasoning, don't we have a dangerous mismatch of paper currency and credit? At least 20 dollars change hands in bank computers for every greenback that's actually withdrawn from a vault.
