  • Recycling U.S. Coins into Silver [View article]
    Sometimes different forms of silver have a better premium when selling it.So it's a good idea to have a few different forms to take advantage,plus the only pure silver coins are 1 oz.Silver Eagles.If you are going to barter it is a good idea to have different denominations,small and large.What good would a Silver Eagle be if it's worth $50.and you want to barter for something worth $20.?
    When you do decide to sell coins,eagles and small bars are very easy to sell anywhere,large bars sometimes have to be sent out to be assayed.
    But what ever you do just buy some physical silver and hold on to it.
    Long term it will be the best investment you ever made.

  • New Jersey is paying $1M a month to Goldman Sachs (GS) for protection against rising interest rates - on bonds that were redeemed over a year ago. The state's transportation fund entered a swap agreement in 2003 that doesn't expire until 2019, though it replaced the auction-rate bonds last year after that market froze. Says one rulemaker about swaps: "The world’s got to see what stupidity even the sophisticated investors like the transportation fund can get into."  [View news story]

Consumers said "value" has the biggest impact on where they shop and what they buy.  [View news story]

    Most cars and trucks have aluminum wheels,transmissions,r... conditioner condensers,heater cores,water evaporators for the air conditioner,starter and alternator housings,manifolds,engine blocks,heads.The list goes on and on,every car has a minimum of 300 pounds of aluminum.Seven milloin less cars being built is two billion pounds of aluminum and you could probably double that to four billion pounds maybe even five billion.

  • Aluminum May Outperform Copper [View article]
    The biggest thing hurting aluminum right is the auto industry,with construction coming in second,until they pick up aluminum will stay weak.There is a big inventory out there,that must come down before that market starts to move.There may be a spike in the market if China starts to load up on it next year,possibly in the spring.Copper may have a good jump before the year is out.I do agree with 2012-2013 we will start to see some record high prices in all base metals.2010 will be a good up year for all metals.
