What some believe about copper

I read today that:

"Copper is increasingly being looked upon by some as a key part of a diversified portfolio that will hold its value as a hard asset rather than plunging as the economy contracts."

In other news:

• Some look upon Rapture & Tribulation as a sound basis for investment philosophy.

• There are those who look upon ECU Silver as a sound long-term position.

• A strange island race believes it has a chance in The World Cup after beating by one goal to zero a country that 90% of its population couldn't find on a map.

• Wikipedia reports that since its reformation last year, The Flat Earth Society now has 60 members.

So would those currently championing the long-debunked balderdash about copper being some sort of asset class please, just once and for all.....
