There’s no lumber shortage, it’s being held back to drive prices up. They won’t be happy until the middle class disappears.
It has been regional so far, and on my end isn’t coming up much yet. I have my fingers crossed after sitting on a bunch for many years now. I need to unload this and right now I can’t get enough to cover my labor and costs to haul it.
Janet Yellen / Powell at the Fed see no inflation problem?
We just cut our own trees now, and my buddy has a gas powered mill. Cut what we want and make what we want. From a round tree to a nice bench in my garage, it took me 4 hours. I only planed and sanded the surface boards though. Rest is just rough cut.
Think that’s bad?
Try 14$ a FOOT for 600kcm for a 400 amp service. 1400$ for a 100’ roll.

It’s supply and DEMAND determining price. Essentially, demand is through the roof. Markets are doing their job as “signals”. The signal now is TIME TO INCREASE PRODUCTION. It takes a while for production to be ramped up.
Like stocks, commodities are in crazy town. The world is in a severed economic contraction.
Lamont, you dummy! Didn’t tell you to buy Copper? Oh, I can feel it, Elizabeth honey... I am a comin!
One of the best cases to argue that markets are NOT efficient. Oil doesn’t belong at -41 or anywhere above 50 in the global recession.
Good news for the Arizona Copper Basin
Actually he is right... They are creating an artificial shortage for price fixing. Have a couple friends in the industry and all the yards are all stocked up and available storage is overfull, from the forests to the mills to the wholesalers... This really needs to be seriously investigated.
At the current price for copper and nickel, a $2.00 roll of nickels is worth $2.46.

Arizona Copper Basin ore averages 0.34% copper. A far cry from 99% pure ore
I’m on acreage with a LOT of oak, but I don’t have the equipment (or the patience) to go this route barring the apocalypse.
Ok Karen
Even liquor store socks have almost doubled
People put appliances out so others can fix and reuse them, then the low IQ scrappers come along and cut off the cords. That’s all they take. Just the power cord. Friggin’ idiot low class moron slum dwelling scrappers. I see them living on the hills of trash in third world countries — it would have been nice if we could not have them here. Oh well.
At least those “scrappers” are out trying to make a legal living...which puts them well above about 30% of the US population.
I heard somebody blamed it on lack of shipping containers. Perhaps if the stuff is headed over to China (or coming in from overseas).
But local stuff would just get loaded on a train or truck loose I think.
