Forcasts from early 2012/13 thru today that heavy deficits in copper to be expected. Note that the experts are like a lot of Wall St. annalists, they miss their mark very often. Not faulting them, just saying that when they get crunched by the final numbers of deficits in copper that their prediction is only correct in that there are already severe copper deficits. Lots of shutdowns workers laidoff, this occurance is the norm with copper and just as the Super Gold cycle. Nicely though now that these two events are in sync, which should bode very well for LBSR and all copper gold mining, for lbsr that when they enter the game. From my watch over many years, copper when in short supply has almost always risen to a high price per pound market driven formula. That some event drive copper such as an housing boom did time and agin. The analists may speak but mkt events always rule, i say short supply will demand much higher prices for Cu, to fill supply side demands. Remember how gready Indonesia and Chili got after 2010, heavy taxation issues to get mega bucks from FCX and all Cu minig companies, GREED was'nt factored in by the annalists and those events will recur to the favor of LBSR.
