would you kindly get off the median?
Copper hit an all time high last year, over $4 a pound. It went down to about a buck and half though when everything tanked. It’s almost back up to $2. I’m thinking about cashing in my stockpile under the shed.
“Copper’s ‘often called ‘Doctor Copper’ because it takes the temperature of the global economy. According to Doctor Copper, things are improving, mainly due to Chinese demand,” says MarketWatch.com.
Scrap metal is back up to $80 a ton, so I’ve called my neighbors up looking to make a load. I got some pipes from Cal and a water heater from the guy who doesn’t really speak english. Just happens he’s had a water heater by his garage for a week. I knocked and said “Basura?” while pointing at the thing. Which is funny, because he’s Chinese, but everyone knows that means garbage because it’s written on our city provided garbage cans.
Lastly, begging isn’t measured on the stock markets, and isn’t recommended as a retirement plan, but for some people that’s their best option.
Way to tell people where your copper is,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I don’t hate it, it sounded clever I thought. This lady has been standing on the corner of Haight and Divisadero with that sign for years. I guess I’ve grown cold to her message.
