"Used to be gold, but now lead is the most expensive metal," said Donald Richards, 37, who was stocking up at the Jefferson store.
Actually, no, not at all. But I did discover something interesting:
It takes lead to make bullets, for sure, and the price of lead did increase right around the presidential debates, where McCain was at his prime idiocy. No, really, what a mooncalf. I suppose I could compare lead's price activity relative to all other industrial commodities' prices around that time, maybe I'd be on to something!
But seriously, we do see a jump in Oct. '08 and Jan. '09. I wonder how much of the lead market firearms and ammunition take up.
