Q: For everyone listening to copper as THE metal that is going to go sky high because of its role in technology, please remember that 8 years ago zinc was the metal of choice.

Counter to what advisors say about cleaning out your losers so as to not be in anguish every time you look at your portfolio, I have left TV on my portfolio listing in big bold red letters to remind me to be very careful of the frenzy that can occur when everyone jumps on board. Thanks for letting me vent. Derek.
