RE: Copper up/down like a yo-yoGermany is being the jerk. France already knows they want to fix it soon, to save their precious rating or Moody will whack them. Germany just because it is the only one without the threat of a downgrade is being stubborn they just want the most without giving up anything. Watch how fast Germany moves their behinds when they get a down grade warning from any of the rating agencies and they will do what it takes to save their rating just like France. It isn't France but Germany stalling. FEDS coming out today did not help either. Double whammy with Merkel and Bernanke. Both these two are the kiss of death when they speak both need to be quiet or not say anything more to rock the boat. Every time there is a glimmer of hope these two idiots come out to smash it. Copper was hit pretty rough today all on noise from these two countries US and EU .JMHO
