Metals Prices and E-waste Video

by Bradley Voight on 06/21/12

Slowdowns in the U.S. and in emerging market economies such as China have been a drag on metals prices. Just like when stocks get cheap and fall out of favor, so do metals. Scrappers slack off when metals prices drop. I do not. I continue to accumulate and hold for a better selling price, just like a long stock position. 


I have posted a new video by the Australian version of Dateline. It is about electronic waste from America and other developed nations. The video is a real eye opener, especially the part where the people start pouring through the data left on thousands of hard drives that end up in the third world. Perhaps the identity theft threat will bring attention to the e-waste disposal issue and help stop the environmental disaster unfolding in third world nations.
