> Have not paid any attention to aluminum. Between the monster smelter Alcoa is building in Iceland (with tax support) to replace high cost (electric) elsewhere and Chinese smelters (cheap hydro power), I do not see any shortage in aluminum. Copper used to be about $US1000/mt more expensive than aluminum, but is now only $US300/mt more. goldsheetlinks.com Arbitrage ? long copper, short aluminum ? P.S. Trivia: Earth's crust is: 8.13% aluminum/bauxite (most common metal) 5.00% iron 0.0058% copper 0.0000080% silver 0.0000002% gold P.P.S. Notice last number implies an AU/AG ratio of 40:1 based on natural abundance.

Like Ivanhoe, but Wheaton has too much silver (but will bounce) I dislike silver, its' the poor man's gold because you'd be a poor man owing silver instead of gold for the last 5 years. goldsheetlinks.com
