I personally was involved in the purchase of the
mining companies in Canada, and in Australia
right now they really control most commodity prices in
the high end metals
as for the traders in Singapore,,
when the Rummer comes from someone who you do not
know ,you do not act!!!
but, on the other hand, when they only communicate
with you about once a month, and when they do, it is
almost always correct in the price action,
then, you wake up, and realize he must
have REAL knowledge
Ben
