Never speculate in copper. It is a tightly controlled market, and they do not want outsiders to make as much as one red cent from it.

An anecdote is whatever happened to the vast amount of copper cable that became obsolete with fiber optic cable replacing it. They didn’t just abandon it underground, but pulled it out and spooled it up. And then, it vanished.

At the time it was speculated that there was enough recovered copper to build half a dozen pure copper aircraft carriers. But the market price of copper didn’t fluctuate at all.
