According to the US Mint, the cost to produce a copper-plated zinc penny is 0.81 cents.  This includes all costs, so the price of zinc (97.5% of the metal in a penny) would have to rise substantially for this to occur.

it gets hot, which in turn causes more resistance, and it gets even hotter, which causes more resistance.  if there are enough amps, the metal will melt.

I am not sure if you have a "ton" of scrap or figuretively a "ton" of scrap.  Either way scrap metal prices fluctuate weekly and in different parts of the county. \n\nWeekly scrap metal prices can be found at http://demolition1.blogspot.com

Gold is always considered as an safe investment,only if it is 22k or 24 k bars.seeing the market trends,prices won't fall now.They will be stable sooner.

the world is headed for a crisis- gold has an established history of being valuable in and of itself, so people switch from currency to gold if they feel that the currencies are unstable. it also means that people who understand market forces are seeing "other than hard value" commodities are a very high risk as they are "over" valued- and can't stay that way- also, the total debt of the US is staggering- and therefore what is there to back up the dollar? it's value is entirely theoretical- and won't stand in a crunch- so, buy gold, silver- have something on hand with real value.

The futures prices for the metals themselves--steel, aluminum, copper, etc.  If I could tell you leading indicators for the futures that always worked then I could retire.

YHOO.  It's got a track-record and has broken through resistance of $39 and is demonstrating that $40 is now support.  It should start skipping above $40 from now on, assuming "all else remains equal."

Gold is always a good bet, and now it seem the price will be going up for several year. also, if you are willing to take a slight risk, look into nanotechnology, seems to be the wave of the future.

The dollar is in fact losing value. The dollar by itself is worthless unless it is used to buy things, correct? Well aren't the costs of homes, fuels, raw materials, and labor going up? Energy is up 45%, Health care is up 22%, College tuition is up 18-30%, commodities are up 16%, housing is up 12% over just last year, 2005, and the year isnt over yet. By the way, gold is up 145%, and gold is supposed to be the standard of our currency. Expect prices to keep rising, it is inevitable, because of not only the reasons you stated, but because of the cumulative effect of rising prices, the economy will further slow, and unions will demand even higher wages, more people will become unemployed, and more people will be on welfare, which further hurts the value of the dollar because the government's solution to inflation is to just keep printing money and giving it away, or raise taxes, rather than cut spending and borrowing. We are headed for a recession, and even if we address the issues directly, the economy will suffer because all of the prices you are accustomed to should be much higher than they are right now in order to match the real value of the dollar, which is lower than what is currently reflected by the market.\n\nTo put it simply, the dollar is overpriced right now, and the only reason why it's not worse is because the government is printing money to keep up with inflation, which will eventually devalue the dollar in foreign markets, which means all of our imports (we import wayyyy too much stuff) will become far more expensive than they are now. This will hurt the wal-mart crowd more than the rich folk who already have sold thier dollars for foreign currency and have invested in gold and silver.\n\nIt's only going to get worse, because politicians are too busy looking out for themselves than our nation's economy. Both Republicans and Democrats are to blame, because neither group is really confronting this issue.\n\nNot a big issue? Try saying that when your rent goes up 100% in a couple years, and your wages increase by a dollar an hour during that time (all of us low wage earners, I mean). Also, expect $3.50+ at the gas pump, and your electric bills to continue to go up.

It wouldn't suprise me if you get a load of snotty guffaws in response to this question, but you have a point. Personally I prefer silver to gold, although the metal with a lesser value, for me it has a class that in some items gold cannot carry off. It's all down to your own opinion as to what appeals to you isn't it?

Gold is actually a consumable / commodity.\n\n75% of the gold produced is used in jewellery the rest is for industril application (Circuit board etc)\n\nThe recent price hikes have been fuelled by demand for jewellery in the far East mainly India and china, People there now have money to spend and in some cultures it is a traditional wedding gift...... Any way the demand for gold in this part of the world has greatly increased hence the s"supply and demand" scenario. \n\nQuite often the gold used in industrial processes is recycled, but jewellery isn´t, It only retains its sentimental Value and quite often people are buried with it or pass it on to there heirs. So if you bought a €1000,00 bracelet today, you would probably only be able to sell it at scrap prices, as no one wants to buy second jewellery. \n\nBut anyway,  WHAT about De beers:   Diamonds are the most common natural resource on Earth.  Yet Why are dimanonds so expensive, Well, De beers, has a monopoly on the diamond trade, if they do not control a diamond mine, they agree to buy all the diamonds, so as to restrict market supply, if all the diamond mines currently in operation were to sell openly, the price of diamonds would crash, probably making them no more expensive than the piece of quartz in your €5,00 argos watch. Hence they have to restrict the supply of diamonds to the market and actually do have incredible stock piles of the stuff, but what is interesting is the fact that the monopolies commision has not seen fit to investigate the diamond trade............. Hope this makes sense,................ and doesn´t sound too much like a conspiracy theory......\n\nremember,,,,  Paranoia is having all the facts.

I would think so.  Unless it is devalued as part of a financial reorganization it should continually increase in value.

A fool and his money will soon be parted. why, because its more of a world market and not only that its an auction that makes some difference.\n\nYou know if its right or wrong.\n\nI don't necessarily think its right though either....but I am not going to judge you....if you are making 6 times what you paid for it,and you run across the item alot....I am just wondering why everyone else isn't doing it? maybe thats a rare example on your part,and maybe as I said as well it is rare in the country that bought it....I am just glad it wasn't me...because I would be pretty upset....I mean reverse roles here,and put yourself in the buyers shoes....even if its an auction....which I dislike anyway....because that in itself opens many doors for abuse in and of itself.

Best thing would be to go to a pawn/antique shop, buy a bunch of stuff made with those metals, melt them down, and make a bar.\n\nIndividual investors cannot just buy a bar of metal.. however since those metals are more common, go to Home Depot and look for them, ie. Copper Wire. \n\nIf you want to invest in them to make money because you think their price will go up, buy an ETF or a large producer/distributor of those metals, stock.

Correct on EVERY thing you have said....Nice job sassy. Not to mention..It is being said that prices of goods and services would be on the rise when we deport the "illegals" from our land. If this is the case..why haven't prices gone down as a result of there illegal employment?
