I also want it to go up for the other members who have serious quantities of it. I'm also wondering what effect (if any) the next election will have on the prices of nickel (and other metals)

Perhaps a similar concept to pm smashdowns?
I am also reopening this thread because nickel is only $1.37 higher than when this thread was created. Hasn't inflation destroyed the benefit of this $1.37 increase?

What type of nickel did you sell and who did you sell it to?... a smelter?

NOTHING makes sense these days. These new electric vehicle batteries contain a lot of nickel, so the price should be rising, not falling.
IMO... ALL PM and industrial metal prices are artificially suppressed.

I agree with you on this, but one thing: aren't sales of electric vehicles low? If so, wouldn't that reduce the amount of nickel needed?

Sales may vary from region to region, but I don't think people have really warmed up to them for a variety of reasons. I see a few, but only a few. Perhaps we can start an EV thread, Meanwhile, wouldn't a low sales volume/forecast result in decreased demand for nickel?
