Speaking of riding the short bus, I present a line from his second post...


Yet he's able to afford a place to store a couple tons of copper to eventually sell it for ten grand, profit made once he subtracts his investment cost.

Even if he's going the save-the-copper-pennies route, he'll need to amass 292,000 pennies to equal a ton. If he sells the pennies at $.05 (5 cents each), he'll earn a whopping 400% profit, having ONLY his time and storage space for the pennies as his overheard, netting him a $11,680 ROI in who-knows-when.

Here's what 2.5 tons of pennies looks like with a face value of only $10,000 being that their mixed clad:



If all copper, and at five cents each, his profit would be $40,000.

Obviously she's no Sherlocks Holmes, for clearly one could easily deduce it's approximately 2' X 2' X 7' (the plaque is at eye level, thus a 7' max height; the floor tiles are 12" square).

But let's assume he's the driver of the short bus, and doesn't collect pennies. He's then paying spot for copper bullion which, by the way, will take up a helluva lot more space and have a much higher investment involved. Let's hope he's wearing his glasses and sees the STOP sign straight ahead, otherwise there's going to be some messed up special people, all with pre-orders at BFL.
