[QUOTE="Pepperoni, post: 1240103, member: 5520"]I have never seen them ( APMEX ) not take orders unless they show they are out of a product. The next bubble could very well be not PMs . The cost of alternative energy is getting an eye ball, from a cost stand point and large subsidies. People may just not be able to swing good ideas, that are good in theory, but can not float on their own yet. Eighty billion in subsidies over 2007-2010 in tax credits from stimulus is not going to be there. Solar grew 67% in 2010 . Wind grew 40% in 2009. The jobs are expensive as is the actual product. Clean coal ( sulfur removed) and natural gas may have to do for a few years. I do not think metals can continue at this rate and may hit a plateau . They may stop there or go down a bit . Costs are out of sight to dig in South Africa in the ultra deep mines. They need loans to be provided , but paying for loans while reconstruction takes place, takes deep pockets, as well as willing banks. Banks are only loaning on very safe uncomplicated situations. The reconstruction is for new guidelines for worker safety, and other state regulated upgrades. Mileage may differ but we do have a bit to explore. Pep[/QUOTE]
