What? Did I miss something? The Chinese economy is "accelerating?" What happened to all the copper being piled up in Chinese warehouses as a store of wealth and an inflation hedge?

States are requiring a license to sell copper again. Think it'll stop the crooks? Nah, just encourage them. I'm holding onto my FCX. We cannot build without metals. It'll come back some day
