Copper didn't crash into a shortage. It leaked into one.
Forty-two days. Not one dramatic headline — a slow, quiet withdrawal, a little every single day, so gradual that for weeks it looked like nothing was happening at all. Then someone finally added up all forty-two days at once, and the number that came out was frightening: 205,000 tonnes left, half of it already spoken for. A market that thought it had time suddenly realizing it didn't.
I know this pattern intimately. Not from a warehouse. From my own account.
Five years. Not one dramatic loss — a fee here, a liquidation there, a line item quietly marked "refund" that was actually a debit. Small enough, day by day, that I never once stopped to add it up. Then I finally did, all at once, the way the LME just did with copper: $4,425 gone to fees. More than the market itself ever took from me. I didn't lose it in a crash. I leaked it, one invisible day at a time, for five years, until someone — me — finally counted all the days together.
That's the real story hiding under every bullet point in this thread. It's never the sudden crash that gets you. It's the slow one, the one quiet enough that nobody thinks to check the total until the total is already frightening.
So here's my question, and it's not really about copper: what's draining in your life right now, one invisible day at a time, that you haven't added up yet?
A warehouse. An account. A trust. They all empty the same way — quietly, until someone finally looks at day 42 and asks where days 1 through 41 went.
Copper is shouting now. It was whispering the whole time. So was my account. So, probably, is something in yours.
Go check. Before day 42 becomes the day you finally notice.
