Thought it may be interesting to see who is hoarding copper for copper or to resell to purchase other "precious metals". Would do a poll but not sure how:-( happy hoarding!
For me the debate isn't copper vs gold (or silver, or platinum, or nickel etc). I hoard it all as a natural passive fiat currency hedge.
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities.
I think most people around here want as much of every precious metal they can find :)
I know I do! I do trade one for the other if I can get what I consider a good deal in terms of increasing my perceived "hoard value" :) But 99% of the time I just buy some of each as the prices meet my expectations!
I don't have a set plan on what i'm going to do with my copper. It all depends on what is happing when I feel it is the right time to get out of copper.
