What you really have to ask yourself is what is the stainless market going to do? We feel it's going to stay flat this year which would keep nickel somewhat depressed but it may/may not do so in 2009. It will depend on Chinese demand. The other issue is some nickel may come offline creating tighter supply. Take a look at your inventory carry costs and what the price would need to be for you to break even. Then you will have to make a determination as to what % increase will be needed from today's price to bring you back to whole. Is it a 20% increase? 30% or more? That could help drive your decision... By no means, construe this as advice. What you really have to ask yourself is what is the stainless market going to do?

To me it seems like they're only going down, but I'm still hoping. So in your opinion, would I be better off scraping the metal now, or waiting a few more months?
