"Mate if you want to become the next aluminium baron in the footsteps of Roman Abramovich..." C. Montgomery Burns did it by picking up cans on the beach.
Basically, yep-especially here in oz, bogan, you know what the sfe cattle etc looks like.(or looked like?i think they canned the contract a while back) Financial advisors justifiably recommend against it, particularly when its cheaper to "lock in" feed/fertilizer costs via their freindly agro business-whom presumably, is actually using futures. Strange business. What does that have to do with aluminium? Not much.
They have wool futures that trade like 5 lots a day. I wasnt comparing cashguy was trying to find some link thats all.
Yeah, i was just making conversation, you know........ Im reminded of a certain seinfeld episode, involving a u-haul and a 5c /can deal
