There was a thread here a long time ago about people breaking into active electric transformers to steal the copper, usually with disastrous results.

I know of at least three major copper/zinc deposits in the United States which have never been developed, strictly for political reasons.

Pinochet would know how to ensure the supply of essential commodities, unlike the idiot woke rulers currently in South America.

It may be time to buy Southern Copper (SCCO) again.

If we had not debased our currency there would be plenty of already refined copper floating around.

Never speculate in copper. It is a tightly controlled market, and they do not want outsiders to make as much as one red cent from it.
An anecdote is whatever happened to the vast amount of copper cable that became obsolete with fiber optic cable replacing it. They didn’t just abandon it underground, but pulled it out and spooled it up. And then, it vanished.
At the time it was speculated that there was enough recovered copper to build half a dozen pure copper aircraft carriers. But the market price of copper didn’t fluctuate at all.

I think we are entering a commodities supercycle where the price of all metals will be heading up.

Hmm. Is the solution to this problem less freedom? Just asking.

That’s a reminder to buy copper coins. Precious metals web sites are selling it for around $1.50-$1.60 oz. Right now. I’m not talking pennies, but newly minted coins and bars of .999 pure copper.

Just one example…

I remember the 1970s, when Aluminum was beginning to replace copper, till there were problems with expansion rates between copper and aluminum. Aluminum was abandoned.
