how you doing Brett well I’m just here to see what kind of exciting news there is is in the good old commodi scrap world how about you I’m good man I’m I’m always a little happier when Copper’s up 34 cents on a Monday yeah I mean you know we had the dark 390 days not too long ago or looks like we’re headed maybe 420 I don’t know what you think 420 yeah is that a code trying to say something maybe will we get to 420 this week BR I don’t know well we’re 4:18 today or something like that so I get to 420 today you yeah it’s what we’re up for Sans I mean so I don’t know I I genuinely think that I don’t I didn’t really predict that we were going to run back like this so here I am I’m busy trying to get sold into this runup just because I always feel like when your trajectory is kind of down then it’s like you reach well they say lower highs so it like Peaks and valleys right so as it comes back up it doesn’t get quite to
where it was before it come so I always try and catch them CU I still feel like the momentum is still down overall going into the election season but I’ll take the up markets as much as I can get them you know yeah which probably bodess well for the feris markets going into September if I would hope you know people have got you know feris scrap to move it’s maybe September will be better but you know two weeks or whatever feels like a long time and this business yeah a lot of things can change in two weeks it always seems like uh it always seems like nonfer takes a right before the beginning of the month yeah which doesn’t I always get my conspiracy theorist hat on like that that was on purpose so the feris people can push the number down but yeah but whatever what is what’s everything else looking like what’s what’s you know I mean like Nicholls up a little bit you know I mean the pgms had a really good week they put in a good week last week across the board Platinum padium you know off a little
bit this morning but you know rodium got a little bit of love last week I mean I feel like the pgms you know had a had a pretty good run I mean you’ve got you know aluminum’s up a couple cents so all in all it’s not uh it’s not it’s not a bad way to start the week um but like they say it’s not how you start it’s how you finish so yeah we’ll uh we won’t count our chickens too far before they’re hatched yeah we’ll see what it what happens we see how the flow is I mean the flow here has been it’s still hot here so some days been slow some days been really slow you can feel it in the air in the morning though like that like we’re not that far away from fall like I get up early and um let my dog out to take a piss and that that air is every morning just gets a little crisper and you know not cold but just a little crisper in the morning you’re like ah finally we got a break in this heat wave it feels like it’s
coming um you know that’ll help some of the flow here at the yards and you know some of our customers our manufacturers and that some some are busy some aren’t you know yeah that’s how it is Nationwide right now yeah some are still doing good and some are just busy as can be and just some are really kind of struggling so hopefully they can get through the election see what happens in 2025 and we’ll go from there yeah it’s going to be an interesting it’s going to be an interesting finish to the year I really I really believe that and you know I I’m still optimistic that you know the scrap business the recycled material business the whatever you want to call it industry that we’re in is a good spot to be we are going to face our challenges but I still think I mean I’m still we’re I’m I’m optimistic I mean even on the feris side as challenging as that’s been the last you know six to8 months um I still feel like it’s there’s there’s good upside to be had there you know in the long run just because of
the amount of steel mill demand that could potentially be there because with more steel mills coming on needing more volume I mean that’s a good sign for the domestic steel Market um so I always say buckle up and one other thing um our LinkedIn 75 hard Club look for the invitations out this week if you’ve raised your hand and said you want to be a part of it we’re going to start getting those out so we can start getting ready cuz September 1st man is going to be here in what 12 days yeah so I don’t know if I’m ready but I don’t think I have a choice now I’ve talked too much so now it’s got to be game on well we start September one well be everyone will be done by Thanksgiving yep so it’s a good time to start we’ll get done before the holidays really kick in um you know we did it last year and do it again and I’m hoping we can build a real cool Community around it yeah I think so and uh if we forget to invite you just raise your hand hit us up
