Copper Prices Down. Will You Still Hoard?

Hoard unshielded copper wire; it's pure, no refining costs.
Something like stripped electric cable would be OK.

Price currently around U.S.$2.07 per pound, 0.45 cents per gram. That's for pure copper.
However all commodity prices are down.
The Australian Government is slowly going broke as a direct result of low commodity prices.

We are currently at about 7:30 on the investment cycle clock, the bottom of the commodity prices chart.
BHP-Billoton (World's biggest copper miner) says not to expect a recovery in the copper price for at least three years.

"Buy in gloom, sell in doom"
Actually I think that hoarding of any commodity that you like, in small incremental amounts over the next four to six years may be a good idea.

Most people accumulate gold or silver; both are easier to store.

Nah, I'm not hoarding metal in a form that just isn't 'liquid'. In coin form, I can only sell it to other hoarders, unlike raw form such as wire or junk that I can sell any day of the week. I can also accumulate faster than coin, for free.

I dumped my hoard of pennies and bought silver. A lot easier to store.

I stopped saving copper cents when the price was $2.55 a pound because at that time I thought it was ''centsless''to keep hoarding. Now at about $2.00 a pound it's downright the wrong way to go.
I know some of you have accumulated 5 gallon buckets of copper cents, but IMHO dump them and buy either silver bullion or any other coins that interest you. when I dumped my pre-82 Lincolns I bought some real nice Mercury dimes for my collection !

steele , did you invest more than one cent each for your copper Lincoln memorials ? I didn't sell them I just dumped them at no cost to me other than my time accumulating them ,then used the money from cashing in to buy nice coins now instead of waiting maybe years for the price of copper to go up.
unless your a young collector and can afford to wait that long.
