RE:FreeportYes many shorts covering in all the larger metal producers , got to be a good sign . I am hoping for a slow gain in sp500 for the next 6 months coupled with rebound in metal prices - that should triple the share price of most beaten down producers as the herd begins buying . I know you dont pay much attention to stockpiles nf , manipulation and all ,but it must count for something . I recall when this sector was running up before , we had almost daily mentions of stockpiles in mass media explaining the rise or fall in prices based on those levels . The last few years they have avoided the topic completely as it was counter to the agenda of steamrolling this entire sector .
