copper stockpiling
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...d=a1B_ZBQfii8Q

Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Private investors in China, the world’s largest metals user, have stockpiled “substantial” quantities of copper as the government ramps up stimulus spending to spur the economy, according to Sucden Financial Ltd.

Pig farmers and other speculators may have amassed more than 50,000 metric tons, Jeremy Goldwyn, who oversees business development in Asia for London-based Sucden, wrote in an e- mailed report after a visit to China. That’s about half the level of inventories tallied by the Shanghai Futures Exchange, which stood last week at a two-year high of 97,396 tons

There is no money in Pigs right now; copper will hold value, FIAT currencies will not.
 

Gotcha. Didnt know pork bellies were doing so bad... I think most metals will be in demand in the next few years. The greenback isnt going to hold up very well with the printing press at full speed. Why I am searching so hard for silver nowdays.
 

How about Fertilizer ? I'll bet that's why it is being hoarded. The pigs won't eat the chinese food(I know they just call it food).

Copper is used to make fertilizer?
 

Before I made the post I looked up copper. It is used for fertilizer but it is hard on the soil(good for some plants and fruits)
The Pig Farmers are speculating there will be a copper and nickel shortage and that would bring them more $$$$ than the piggies would. JP
