Me thinks you are missing a digit. If he can get me a ton of copper for $433 I'll take all he can get.


Heh. Lol. Hell, I'll take all he can supply at $434.

Last I heard, the wholesale price for copper was well over $6k per ton.

Copper is trading today at $3.4958 lb

That would be $6,991.6 a ton.
