China & Copper: Prepare for Crisis

I am starting to wonder if this entire website was created by investors for the purpose of manipulating equities, commodities, etc. Why are there no disclaimers? Mr. Maher do you think that the massive earthquake which killed close to 90 thousand, left 4.8 million homeless, and affected 15 million Chinese in the immediate area on May 12th, 2008 might have a slight effect on trade in June of 2008? You know, the same earthquake that damaged many rail lines and even affected the price of copper. These are the same rail lines that probably ship items to the shipping containers that you mention in your article. Anyone shorting copper is a moron.

I would also like to ask Mr. Tumazo why he thinks it is not feasible to ship 15 -20 miles by rail when Polymet will also be shipping its ore approximately 6 miles. It would seem that once the ore is loaded onto cars an extra 9-14 miles of shipping would not be a major expense compared to the construction of a mill and hydrometalurgical plant from the ground up.

I would be more inclined to accept Mr. Tumazo's opinions if there were a disclaimer advising that he has not and will not receive compensation from Duluth for these opinions and also that he is not the owner of any shares of Duluth.
