Probaly not in my opinion as it appears to be bouncing back on 4288 support. Short term correction more likely :)

Dude, don't be so ridiculous. I said I was concerned about the consistent ins over about 2 weeks (at the time). You said they were one off and that this thing happens all the time. Then, after it kept continuing, I said that it doesnt seem like it's a one off any more...


now you think that I'm saying zinc is a bear market forever? :rolleyes:
 
Can someone clarify what happened last night? According to KITCO metals website, all commodity prices rose, including Zinc

Zinc December 08,11:50
Bid/Ask 1.9998 - 2.0003
Change +0.0445 +2.27%
Low/High 1.9554 - 2.0098

Yet when looking at another website, ie CNN money, it states that most commodity prices fell

Is there a time lag? Or a more accurate representation of current prices?

How did metals fare overnight?

You can always double chaeck against Basemetals.com:

Bottom line was a favourable close to most metals with copper still under pressure due to highest inventory levels in a few years.

With Zinifex shacking up in Umicore, there will clearly be less zinc on the open market, as the raw material will just be moving within the one company... so the Zinc price is probably going to go bananas.

(PS did I mention I'm a guitar player ............. pity I'm so ugly !!! No pics included )
Nah, 12 years of playing Aussie Rules stuffed my fingers, so I can't play guitar.

What sort of music do you play? Do you like Brian Setzer? Mmmm... Brian Setzer.

Nah......... Not a Stray Cats kind a guy ....... more a mixture of Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple) Toni Iommi (Black Sabbath) and the guitarists from "Wishbone Ash" (cant remember their names) ............ Rock-Blues ... Feel with attitude ; thats what guitar playing is all about (IMO)...... Now how do we relate Zinc to this?? ............ I have no idea .......... my guitar strings are "Zinc" coated to stop rust !! .... Hows that?? Cheers, Barney.
 
Nice tie-in Barney.

My guitar strings are rust coated to stop the zinc.;)

Maybe I should practice once in a while and buy new strings - it might push Zn price a tad !!!!

Zinc's been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me.

Unless it has flam rolls, a circular and rolling rhythm, or is in odd time i get bored and can't be bothered playing it. Lol! Incompetent bass players bug me no end.

Interesting to see an article like that coincides with the peak in the bullmarket. At market tops you see these in abundace along with those of extreme optimism. At market bottoms all you hear is bad news and extreme pessimism, which although difficult is the time when you should buy. Now IMO is the time for selling!! Might be better to revisit Zinc when everybody comes to their senses.

Have a look at the zinc chart, I would tkae this article with a dose of salt.

Cheers
