<<aluminum, copper and nickel closed at new 52 week lows on the LME today. >> I watching CU & NI. While there may be less need for NI because of plastic in cars, I can't say the same for CU if housing says high, we move to more hybrid electric cars, & we build the additional electric transmission lines to California & generation there. Don't see any way around the last two, & there is a waiting list for the hybrid electric cars most places they are sold. Though I agree global economies are simply slower than production. Bet it is great part population losses from aids & lack of population growth in China.

Yes, Bob, I follow base metals and wonder what URL for tracking prices you use. I have one, but it is time delayed by 24 hours based on LME pricings. Do you have a better URL for tracking base metals that might include access to charts of same? I would further like to offer an expanded thought upon your right-on hypothesis regarding potential for [short/intermediate <---my timeframes] regarding potential for reduced consumer demand. I also see the base metals pricing comment you offer clearly indicating the slowdown in OEM gold-plating substrata base metals demand inescapably required by the vast IT networks of the world. You may not know it, but nickel is the gold plater's most favorable substrate for the application of precious metals for the purpose of low impedence electrical contacts. Looking forward to your reply. gold_tutor
