    Lead prices

    FOLKS,

    It looks like lead prices are going down right now!

    Cross your fingers, and hope it goes down to around $00.50 as it has before.

    The folks that I talk to, that should know, tell me that lead is going to go down, way down, and then it is going to hit record highs.

    You pay your money, and you take your chances, as I do. It is a **** shoot, for lack of a better way to say it.

    Mike

    scrap lead prices have been way down in my area. Most recyle centers dont even want to bother with WWs right now unless you have a lot. I tried buying some recently but they did not have any.

    I can't see record highs. They must have a crystal ball of a different color than mine. What mine shows is world economy going completely down the tubes and staying their for a decade or two.
    I think your friend may e confusing the link between different commodities like gold to lead. If lead gets cheap it would of course be a good time to buy all you'll need.

    Sir,

    There are two(2) kinds of depression...we are headed to the inflationary type where goods are more expensive than we can afford. That would be why lead will be more expensive.

    moderator,

    You changed my comment about "**** shoot"...to XXXX shoot......why?

    Good God, why? A "**** shoot" is a game played with dies, with dots, etc., on them. Do you know what a **** shoot is?

    I knew what a **** shoot was when I was about eight years old. Do you?

    If I can not use the proper phrases for what I am talking about, like a "**** shoot" on your forum, just let me know, and I am out of here.

    Is this a forum for kindergarteners or adults? "**** Shoot" should work either way. They will not know what it means, unless some adult tells them.

    I am tired of this ****.

    So we will need a wagon load of money to buy a wagon laod of bread.

    I still have hopes we can avert collapse of our dollar if we vote the fools out in November. Seams a bit of a hail marry pass but may as well have hope.

    Last week the Euro was collapsing faster than the dollar and Obama admin tried to make that out to be a good thing. What a bunch of evil Creations.

    Most forums block certain words, be creative, try krapshoot.
    FWIW, I don't see an economic recvery anytime soon, at least as long as PBO is pres. What I do see is inflation starting to creep up & all commodities will go higher as money is worth less & hard assests more. SO get what you can when yo ucan for the best price. I doubt you'll see it get any cheaper. I haven't seen $1/gal gas in along time.

    Most interesting...crapshoot is a word that details a game of chance...I put those words together, perhaps no prohibited words there. No censorship.

    There are kindergartners here? Hmmmmm...I wonder what they might do beyond looking at pictures? Since when can a kindergarten child read?


    What in the hell is a kindergarten child doing on the internet? Might that be a cause for intervention by someone from law enforcement?

    Nice try, but you may be full of prunes Sir.

    Looks like....if i'm reading the markets right.... Warehouse stock levels are way up. Price is way down...
    1) either they know(business people) something we don't or they expect prices to go up
    2) they got caught buying a whole bunch of lead at a higher price and the market bit them in the ****, suprised them.
    3) the world economy is worse than they expected and buyers are just broke, nobody is buying their products so their warehouse inventories are just sitting there.
    Thats my look at it......I just checked yesterdays market and lead went up a few cents.

    I see another company in Wisconsin is moving to Mexico (Polaris snow machines, snowmobiles) I didn't think this was gonna happen with our new "hope and change" -Hope- things get better and All i have left in my pocket is change

    Mayhaps some here should look up the word being discussed in their dictionary. My Webster's New World Dictionary lists 2 entrys for said word neither of which referring to what most here are offended by.

    If kindergerten kids are reading this forum, I'm fairly certain they are also reading much worse than this.

    The spot price of lead has been hovering around a buck since September of 2009. Right now, its down about 20%. The last time that I bought any, it was below $0.50.

    http://www.kitcometals.com/charts/le...cal_large.html

    In my mind, the big thing that would drive the price of lead up to crazy levels would be a sudden demand for large storage batteries, like you might use in an electric car.

    China makes most of the worlds batteries. Small, large, and really large.

    China makes most of the products we use in this country. Try and find something that you want, that you would be willing to pay that price for, that is not mde in China.

    Do NOT buy food from China, for you or for your pet. Do not buy food from third world countries...some of it grown in sewage lagoons, polluted rivers, lakes, etc..YUCK! Read the package that you are thinking about buying, and determine where it came from. If you can't, do not buy it!

    Curious,

    There are over 50,000 manufacturers of batteries listed on the web. Most are from China.

    "EXIDE" batteries...now made in China.

    "SEARS" batteries now made in China.


    TROLLING MOTOR BATTERIES" now made in China.

    "Flashlight Batteries" now made in China.

    The list goes on, and on.

    I have or had examples of each here....you had only to read the fine print.
