Hopefully, she got livestock feed really cheap.

She probably got fleeced

USED surgical gloves?

What happened to the counter appliance in panel #3? Alex is too small to completely obscure it with her body.

Another visual “Trudeauism”, right?

I hope they held onto the cobalt. it would be worth around $300 million today.

Love the vintage raspberry iMac!!

So, is that 100 gross of swizzle sticks or just 100 gross swizzle sticks.

“…if you just free-lance your buys.”I don’t think that means what Mike thinks that means.

The cobalt is worth big money now.

“Warehouse? Alex, when did you buy a warehouse?”

Alex has trump supporters working at her warehouse?

Cobalt … smart kid … that will be worth a lot once the world starts buying a lot of EVs.

“Find out if they like cobalt.”

Sell the swizzle sticks to Las Vegas. There’s a cocktail lounge around every corner.

3000 metric tons of cobalt is gold these days…

The cobalt should sell well.

Cobalt isn’t exactly cheap. Assuming this strip was first published in 2000, then it was selling for ~$16,000 per metric ton, which yields $48 million in inventory. That sort of highly useful metal should be something they could move in a hurry.

Today (March 2024) it’s selling for ~$28,000/metric ton.

Cobalt could be a money maker.

Sheep gotta eat.

Is cobalt worth money? Yes. But only if you find someone who wants to buy it, and have a way to deliver it to them.

3000 metric tons of cobalt!?! They just hit the big time.

The cobalt is a big win.
