RE:Enormous global demand on way for copper, platinum, zinc I hope Robert Friedland is finally right this time. I have been to several of the Sprott mining conference in Canada where Friedland was presenting his huge discoveries in Africa. He is the most amazing speaker I have ever listened to. Even better than Marcio Mello for those of you who remember him before he went out in flames. His case for consumption makes you want to run right out and buy mining stocks. He is a self promotor extraordinaire and uses lots of good statistics but his timing can not be counted on. He is a metals perma bear. If he is right this time it will be great for all of us. I think the short and mid term price for metals will be most effected by what the big tradders perceive Donald Trumps policies going forward will do to global growth.
