So with copper at $.65/pound

You need to quit using $0.65.

This morning Phelps Dodge announced that they were restructuring and reducing copper production by 68,000 tons. The talking heads said that copper prices have reacted favorably this morning.

According to a Yahoo story about it:

The copper market responded almost immediately to the news, with the benchmark London Metal Exchange three-month price skyrocketing as much as $90, or 5.7 percent, to $1,655 a ton, the highest level in nearly nine months.

According to another story, this is up $100 from the previous close.

Yet another has this quote:

Phelps said it would temporarily close its Hidalgo smelter in New Mexico and a portion of the Morenci mining complex in Arizona, and cut 50 percent of its El Paso refinery output. ''This is not a short-term price blip. I can see $1,700 in the next few hours,'' one seasoned copper dealer said.
