COPPER APPEARS TO BE TRADING MORE VIOLENTLY THAN USUAL

METALS: 11/3/11: Higher closes for copper, silver, gold and platinum. Copper certainly has been trading more violently than normal lately but that we still can’t discount the fact that there little resistance up to 400(Dec), in my opinion, and I have a buy signal! Silver and gold also closed higher with the latter continuing to look the best of the metal complex while the 30 dollar area for silver is extremely critical to hold while also having good resistance above 350 basis the December contract. Platinum also settled higher with a similar pattern as the silver and gold. BUY SIGNALS FOR COPPER, SILVER, GOLD AND PLATINUM. CALL FOR DETAILS!
