I am looking into buying metal bullion to keep for a long period of time in hopes that it will increase in value. However I don‘t want to do the usual gold and silver. What is the best cheap metal to invest in? I have looked into Copper, Titanium, Nickel, and others. Having a hard time deciding which one would be the best long term investment.
around 600-700 degrees. it's more dependant on the meling point of the type of solder you are using. most modern solder for sweating pipes melts around 620-650
Gold 1658 per ounce Copper $3.60 per pound, although typically sold by the ton. You have to buy 460 pounds of copper to invest the equivalent of a single ounce of gold. Think about shipping costs. Storage space? Insurance? Totally impractical idea. Don't get scammed into buying small bars of copper or any other industrial metal. Wide spreads. Stupid prices. No chance of long term profit. There are two firms trying to get approval for a copper ETF that holds the physical metal. If approved, that would be a reasonable way to implement the idea.
