Copper........ the new gold.

Yep. The last caper I read about, there was a group traveling
neighborhoods in a panel van with signage that described it as an HVAC
installationa and repair service. They would target homes when no one was
there and every bit of copper they could manage, under the guise of HVAC
repair. Even the neighbors didn't get suspicious.

My buddy owns a commercial refrigeration company and he has had cases
where clients called that systems were down and he found that operating
rooftop equipment had been stripped of copper.

Not yet, copper is about .006 cents per gram, where gold is about $23 or
so per gram.

That's true. It's funny, friend of mine buys gold off ebay. Pays a
premium because the shipping and handling charges for 1 gram of gold are
anywhere from $6 to $10 per gram.

This is the same friend btw that sells me the gold at a discount when
he's short on cash.
