Well the price of lead has crashed and on kitcometals.com going lower, as to but I can't confirm the price of tinium, so when is the price of batteries go south, anyone got any indications of parity?

sorry guys, its an essential mineral/chemical whatever in most batteries, I can't for the moment find the right spelling sorry, but it has affected the price of batteries.

Both antimony and calcium are used to strengthen the lead in non-stationary batteries. There's no shortage of calcium for the foreseeable future, so perhaps you were thinking of antimony.
Should I buy shares in antimony futures?

Mike
'between one toe"
- isn't that akin to the sound of one hand clapping?

Antimony, that must be it, well you know, it's summer and I'm from a tropical environment so that thing between the toes does pop up this time of year, probably been drinking too much, sorry for the dud lead.
