    In case anyone is curious The scrap industry - Meaning the scrappers who sell to the yards
    in a mere few months to this Day are experiencing the lowest prices paid ever - Prices are approaching what was paid out 15 - 20 years ago on some metals
    Steel at some yards is .02 a pound Aluminum .38 a pound copper $1.80 a pound
    A full true return to 20 year previous pricing would be
    Copper @ .70
    Aluminum @ .30
    steel .01

    Considering it is the year 2015 current price pay out is low
    This hit seems non ending , so is there a connection to the PM's ?

    Sadly for me I was enjoying an ability to buy silver with scrap at a favorable trade .
    The ratio has changed or with possibility realigned to proper .
    Since I find scrap free
    it's still doable but I feel the loss.

    So now I will wonder is this the new or will silver go lower .
    is there a connection ?
