How 'bout just flat out running out of the stuff <vbg>!! Down to 180,857 MT in Comex and LME. I guess the question I'd ask is what took 'em so long to figure it out?

RE. Copper... Russ summed it up in his response, but this article gives you all the numbers:

bloomberg.com

In particular....

<<Consumers are withdrawing metal as production from mines and scrap yards isn't keeping up with demand. Use of the metal exceeded production by 513,000 tons in the first four months this year, compared with 207,000 tons a year earlier, the Copper Study Group said.>>

Howy

my sources say China just revealed plans to buy Noranda
they are a $1B firm in Canada
in the copper business

this begins the new trend I predicted in the last several months

China will guarantee supply by purchasing entire companies and entire properties
- copper, oil, cement plants, steel mills

they would buy Indiana if it went up for sale
for the grains
