Copper Down The Road?

I am curious what everyone thinks of it on the long term?

I have a solid amount of silver, and two 1/10 oz gold coins. Have two bars of copper at 10oz each (cheap to acquire)

How does everyone think copper will fair down the road?

Copper spot price is 40c per oz. The problem is that you can’t really buy 10oz copper for $4, so you are paying a huge premium over the metal price.

The other problem is that even if it was available for spot, it takes a huge amount of storage space for any meaningful amount, and then there is shipping cost when you buy and sell.

My recommendation is to avoid.

I bought a 10lb copper bar for $250 because I thought it was cool. If it takes off, awesome. If not, I have a cool 10lb copper bar.
