Ready for Trump Copper Tariff?

[DocBII]

Good day,

Time to buy is now for brass and bullets. He just came out in favor of tariffs on copper, despite the fact we export more than we import.

Could this be the beginning of buyers remorse?

After 4 years of who the heck knows who was telling Joe what to read. Maybe give the president (who seems to speak live everyday instead of once or twice a year) A few months to fix s--t. He's still trying to get thousands of federal employees to at least prove their actually working.

cfh,

It's an apolitical post. Just a warning.

HTH,

ummmmm, I'm thinking no. jd

 

[Downeast]

Copper be damned. The price of Scotch has skyrocket!

 

[jds holler]

No matter what happens to prices of whatever -- we dodged a bullet with the election. jd

At least we still have lead smelters, we can always shoot cast bullets

 

[gkgeiger]

ummmmm, I'm thinking no. jd

This is a minor deal, stay tuned. Nuff said.

That ship sailed. If you didn't buy in 2020, you missed the opportunity.

The last primary one in the US closed down over ten years ago. We still have some that salvage lead from batteries, bullets, lead pipe etc. Don't give your old batteries away. I think something like 80% of our lead comes from China. Great!

And the rest of the story???

 

[Clancy]

Small price to pay.

 

[Kevin1990]

Wait....if we are exporting more than we import why would we see a price increase?

Pure lead sheets can be found in supply houses. Formed lead in window sash weights can be found still. Some sailboats have lead ballast in the keels, though it is a harder mix.

Me too!! With a little bit of patience I think it's going to pay off for us in the long run.

The whole mess interferes with the global commodity exchanges, which
means investors, and traders that don't give a sh!t about you or me.....
Remember.....Trump only puts people on his chess board who will bend
the knee, and are not actually smart. Buckle up, going to be a hell of a
ride.....
