Certainly these high prices seem excessive, but there is no saying when rationality will return. It seems odd that [metals] prices have climbed as much as they have given only limited changes in the fundamentals.

This is no doubt a bullish factor. Copper, lead and zinc are the three metals that are suffering supply disruption from strike action.

Overall the sentiment in the metals is still very bullish and it is hard to see this changing in the near term.

Just like in real farming, you want to sell when prices are high.

There has been little clear trend in precious metals prices in recent trading, with the markets recovering when they look the most bearish and stalling when they look the most bullish.

It just seems so odd, so surreal. I'm still like, 'I don't believe it.' When I saw it flash on the television -- 1961 to 2004 -- I was just like, 'I'm not going to try to fight back any more tears. I'm just going to cry.
