..the primary market for NI is the London Metal exchange, but their is also a secondary market where also a large inventory of ni has been buidling and this is a true perspective of the Global demand for Ni. I think we should be concernd that Ni mines are being purchased by the East and in return their will be no demand on our free markets like the LME or the Secondary market as the East will be self sufficient by extracting from their own resources. I agree this is Global trading and Capitalism is what makes this free market work, but if we don"t have a market for our resources then what happens to the LME or the secondary markets. Traps7
