VOLATILE Markets
The technological
and
the financial
Investors must study both
components of Risk
The technological risk is often a
manufacturing process phenomenon
which most financial managers
wrongly assess.
Manufacturing Companies
need not hedge against
copper prices. They must
wait and reframe their
buying schedules to the
next quarter as the fresh
round of QE2 liquidity re-
adjusts to new investments
Buying from mining pitheads
A third of the world’s produce of copper is still
unregistered and available at pit heads at very
attractive prices.
After the credit crisis the Big Banks did fairly well
playing in the markets with TARP funds for profits.
However metals are high value assets which are
not liquid. ETF may not make metals liquid.
Volatility in copper has been historically observed
coinciding with the economic cycle, showing that
purchases are made during cycles of affordability
and can be deferred.
Copper Prices Have Surpassed
Even The 2008 Asset Bubble Peaks
