Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 8:05 pm I normally check spot prices online at CNN Commodities. Imagine my shock when I checked a 4:49 PM, and saw these numbers: Gold ..... 1625.00 Silver ... 3170.00 Platinum . 1519.40 Copper .... 326.90 those are still the prices listed.

mmerlinn Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 12:37 am This looks like raw exchange data, not data for the public. Exchange data generally moves the decimal point far enough to the right so there are 3 to 5 digits to the left of the decimal point with the assumption that the user or program is smart enough to know where the decimal point belongs. That said, CNN should NOT be using raw exchange data in a public presentation. They should massage the data before they present it. Report this Post to the Staff

BluesZone Pillar of the Community United States 524 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 11:40 am Looks like it's time to cash those copper cents in also. $326.90lb I think that would be $2.08 each for a cent. Report this Post to the Staff
