It's worth noting that this is a Global forum, in fact 50% of the posters are from elsewhere and in many nations homosexuality is still a crime. As it was in america, before it's decline.
They are reaping what they sowed. Unavoidable.

Is $6.33 Copper sustainable?

It doesn't sound very high, but it was under 50 cents a pound back in 2003, climbed inexorably to nearly 4 dollars and then collapsed with everything else back to $1.40 as we passed the peak in conventional oil production. That 1.40 low might have seemed a boon for manufacturers at the time but it was a hundred percent higher then just 5 years before and as low as it was ever going to get this side of another massive financial crash. Today it's over $6, as it recently spiked with silver and Gold.

In a sense Copper is like Oil, like food, it's a total necessity for modern living and if it's price gets too expensive it can't be easily replaced with something else. There is already chatter about solar module makers switching from Silver to copper for the wiring strips that interconnect the cells, with a loss of efficiency naturally. But switching from Copper to abundant Aluminium is just not practical in many applications. Our whole modern system of electronics it getting it up the arse with these high prices. Prices driven by resource depletion.



What is this? Just another modern fad, just another waster of resources. It's a battery pack/inverter stuffed with sketchy electronics and Lipo batteries, doomed for the landfill in 5 years or so. They call them "Solar Generators" , portable power stations. Just another example of BS modern marketing. Call it a battery pack (which is all it is) and you'd lose 3/4 of your sales because that's not "solar" and not a "generator" that gives the impression of endless power

The picture "Advertising" has it all. A happy middle class family on a stormy night making a delicious dinner all thanks to a magic plastic box. Dad doing the work, a little bit of wokeizm thrown in... But forget cooking, it's a cold dinner because that unit would strain to run even a toaster. You're left to assume the lighting is coming from it too I guess? That unit above is the 2000 Watt hour model, US$1000, and If the mains power stays off and the sun isn't shining (assuming you have a big series of solar panels outside to recharge it) it's batteries are going to be flat in a couple of days just running that one fridge. 2000 Wh, that's all it does. I have a Honda 2000W petrol generator and it will do that in the first hour of operation, and then keep pumping out the power, hour after hour, day after day.

Are 'solar generators' Stupid? Well the name is certainly stupid, a Lie. But they have their uses, camping being one, perhaps powering light electrical power tools in the field for a day, and of course as the imagery above suggests, keeping your fridge running in a short blackout. But beyond that they are useless, a very expensive toy designed for stupid people, soft people, people who feel insecure running a real generator, people who can't go camping without a hairdryer and whatnot. You plug a kettle into that thing and watch it freak out

It's just another example of the idea that we can run the world without oil and coal. A small example, but the message is clear, don't worry about the future, we have it all sorted out, just relax and continue consuming the latest technology.




And never forget, women are smarter, stronger, and better in every way than mere men.

Thank God I'm not some deranged Liberal living in a collapsing Empire. But they have Trump going for them, Trump will ease the pain a bit, even as they spit and scratch and throw themselves in front of loaded guns to preserve their delusion of freedom. Freedom to be victims of crime, freedom to get taxed to death supporting illegal immigrants

Looks like the PM's might be setting a floor? Not that it matters, I'm done buying, for life! And done selling for a few years too I suspect. Even my pet rock Platinum has recovered to over $3000 an ounce ($2200 for those living in the old empire). Everyone should have some platinum coin, it's a truly unique metal, used a lot in jewelry now. Just think of it, a year ago tens of millions of people planet wide spent around $1000 to upgrade their mobile phones to a model that wasn't much different to the one they already had. They could have bought an ounce of Platinum for that! The world is full of idiots.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')or the majority of the last half century, platinum has sold at price premium higher than even gold. Yet since 2014, platinum prices have fallen significantly lower than gold. Platinum is so rare that all the platinum ever mined in human history could fit inside of an average United States citizen’s garage or in a pure platinum cube with 8 meter sides. As recently as 2016, bullion industry reports show just over 2,000 metric tonnes of fine .999 platinum remain above ground.

If you want to know how to make real money troll, just follow my posts. But don't expect miracles, you're really too old now, and far too indebted. But at least you might be able to keep food in the pantry when your retirement savings are stolen and they come after the house and your wife's new car.

All the usual suspects are coming out of the woodwork now, touting how you can profit off the precious metals crash, the one they didn't see coming lol.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n this episode, Greyson Geisler explains why focusing on headlines and price charts can mislead investors, which signals actually matter beneath the surface, and how speculation, central bank behavior, and supply dynamics are changing the risk profile for gold and silver right now.

Hmmmm. Gold has recouped 50% of it's crash loss already. It seems like the global appetite for it is not at all diminished. I recall seeing a story about the crash being triggered by a crisis in paper contracts, forcing a paper decline, but I didn't bother reading it. Noise.

Silver has done well to, clawing back (if that's an appropriate phrase) one third of it's losses. But frankly I couldn't imagine it resuming it's manic moonshot. Still, EnergyUnlimited might be right there, anything is possible in this crazy world. The dealer I sold to is at a 25% premium over spot, I guess they have no shortage of buyers, that or they got caught out with a lot of silver they paid for at the highs. Probably both.

I tracked these events years ago, regular as clockwork but it's nothing in the scheme of things. Nothing for the long term trend.

Ahhh look, an angry loser has dropped by. Galling, that's what it must be like to have empty pockets and watch the PMs go to the moon. Someone missed out, missed out because the TV didn't give them heads up
