You should have seen the metal theft post-Katrina!

No police, no people, and the stuff just there for the picking.

Turn your attention to silver, Jay

SILVER.........

I'm shouting from the rooftops here.

Inventories globally are low and, unlike gold, has many, many uses. I expect silver to outperform gold in the short run.

If I'd be wayoman I'd target copper telephone cables. Lots of copper there. Underground in galleries. Easy pickings...



This will boost revenue of the mobile networks and will signal the end of the fixed line...

Two years ago an elementary school in my town was being built adn one night all the copper disappeared. Fuzzy memory but I think the price was $2/lb. at the time.

Remember one of the reasons for CU's drop in the 80's was recycling.

The question will be when will demand drop to drive the price on the margin down and from to what level. Does CU drop from $5 to $3 like oil from $120 to $90?

Commodities are now page 1 story so we'll have a pull back / correction again but when and from what level.
