I was in the junkyard yesterday, cannot believe that they give you money for the crap I dropped off.. made $77.00.. going there and meeting the cast of characters is one of my favorite things to do.

Precious metals, stones, oil, etc. are all at record levels. I work right by the commercial area on the Chelsea/Everett line, and there are a half dozen scrap yards here. The lines of trucks is amazing. Remember when I told me to buy gold, or save your jewelry, well...

Actually the cooper in pennies are are worth more than $.01, so if you have a bucket fill of them, smelt them!

Metals will always increase in vaule when the dollar is weak.
